Show Significantly, the StAR II burners have improved furnace heat transfer characteristics. To qualify their furnaces for use in forging aircraft engine components, Schlosser must pass stringent furnace temperature unifonnity tests. They have found the StAR II burners to produce more uniform temperatures than can be achieved in identical furnaces equipped with conventional burners. These performance results were attained while maintaining high furnace thermal efficiency and productivity. Ongoing StAR Burner Developments The optimization, construction, and testing of ambient combustion air and scaled-up StAR II burner models are currently under way. It is anticipated that this work will be completed in 1995. Each version of the StAR burner will undergo field trials in an industrial production plant prior to commercial introduction. When this work is completed a full line of StAR burners compatible with a wide range of industrial applications will be available. References 1.
