The Thermo Furnace: Design, Build and Validation An-Najah National University Mechanical Engineering Department Supervisor: Dr. Iyad Assaf Graduation Project (2) Prepared by: Ali Jaber Mahmoud Abu Alrob Obaid Atieh Sanad Obaid

Objective: To design and fabricate frame for the gas furnace. Use the best insulating materials. Use the best refractory materials. Use burning system of the gas furnace to melt aluminum and copper.

Component of furnace

Basement of furnace Steel [80*40*2.2]mm Wheels [4 wheels with stopper ] Body of furnace: Consist of steel with thickness 3mm Component of furnace

Door of furnace: The furnace has two doors : 1-large door has octane shape has diameter 63cm and height 8cm 2-small door

Supportive : Used to support the furnace door when it is open. Stabilizers : To keep the door cover closing during the melting metal

Bearing : used to rotate the body furnace. Dampers:To prevent the furnace from the rotation in the opposite direction and reduces the vibrations of the furnace Jacks :[for easy moving the door] Handles for doors and casting process

Inner shell Consist of cement fire, fire brick, rock wall and crucible Gate channel for casting : Allow the passage of the molten metal from which to complete the casting process.

Chimney : exsit of the gases resulting from the combustion process Burner gap : moving gas with air from burner into furnace. Insulation material between door and body: To reduce heat loss between doors and body of furnace.

Material required for insulation Fire brick: The dimension of a firebrick is (230*110*75) mm. Thermal conductivity [K= 0.98 W/m.K ] Brick type Percentage SiO 2 Percentage Al 2 O 3 Percentage other constituents melting point PCE o C Super Duty High Duty Intermediate High Duty (Siliceous) Low Duty

Material required for insulation Cement fire: The Thermal conductivity [K= 0.98 W/m.K ] it is have the same properties of fire brick. The type of it is [DURER, monolithics (GUNDUR 750)] the thickness of cement fire is 15mm

Material required for insulation Rock wool : The Thermal conductivity [K= W/m.K ]. the thickness of Rock wool is 20mm

Basic performance requirements of the furnace structure: In its simplest form a furnace consists of a casing with a heat source, usually a flame to provide the process energy. Where flames are employed the heating may be direct using radiation from the flame.

Design & calculation

Cp for aluminum = 0.91kj/kg.k Cp for copper = 0.39 kj/kg.k The melting point for AL = 660 C`. The melting point for Cu = 1084 C `. The properties of melting metal and insulation material Firebrick & Cement fire K =0.98 [W/m.K]. Rock wool K = [w/m.K]. Steel K = 50 [W/m.K].

Q=qs+ql = 985 kJ for 1 kg Al. = kw → 0.8 kw. Ql=f*m =321*(1) =321 KJ The total heat = sensible and latent heat: Qs=m*cp*ΔT =1*0.91*700 =637 kJ

Using Fourier law for conduction heat transfer of cylinder, the equation is given by : Rt = k/w.

the thicknesses of insulation material are: r i = m, r 2 = 0.22, r 3 = m, r 5 =0.32m, and r 4 = 0.317m. From this calculation the thickness of rock wool is 0.022m.

It’s known the heating value for each: Heat value for Liquefied Petroleum gas = KJ/Kg. Heat value for diesel = KJ/Kg. Why Petroleum gas used in the project CH4+ 2 O N2 → CO2+ 2 H2O N2 burning of methane mixture in air CH x 2(O N 2 ) -> CO 2 + 2H 2 O + 0.5O N 2 chemical equation for methane burned with 25% excess air can be expressed as Molar A/F = 2*4.76/1 = 9.52 Mass A/F = 2*4.76*28.97/16 = 17.24

Procedure First step : During this step, the outer structure frames such as the furnace base, supports wheels and the refractory outside wall which are made of steel. The refractory outside wall is fixed with the frame supports by bearings so that it can be rotates form the vertical position to approximately 180 o to allow pouring the melting metal in the tundish from the furnace door that located at the top of the refractory. The base and the supports are assembled by welding.

Second step: In this step a hole was made in the refractory outside wall of furnace opposite to the casting process for installing the burner, which will be the source of heat for melting the metal. In addition, the furnace door fixed at the top of the furnace so that the door can rotates 90 o.

Third Step: After assembled the supports with the furnace base and open the hole burner hole the refractory outside wall was assembled with the frame using a rotator Sticky structure of furnace by adding bearing joint that mounted on the rack for allowing the furnace for rotation during the casting process.

Fourth step: After assembled the structure of furnace, the isolated stages such as the rock wool and the fiber brick are added inside the refractory inside room. The main objective of using these types of insulation to reduce heat losses as possible during casting process. During this step the rock wool is placed first on the floor of furnace and on the inside walls of furnace.

Fifth step: The firebricks was added in the bottom of furnace and on the inside wall in an appropriate manner, and it is installed to maintain the desired shape- circular shape-. After that the firebricks were cohesion together using fire cement. This type of fire cement (clay) is also used to fill the gaps between the firebricks. In addition, metal rods are used to keep the fire bricks in their positions during this processes and they are removed after the clay was dried. After that, a layer of clay was added to the firebrick inside surface as a plaster to form an extra layer of insulation and to maintain the of the firebrick in cohesion.

Sixth step: During this step, the furnace door was manufacturing. This include the door joints for allowing the door to open and close. In addition, the door handles were welded to the door cover for easy use. Moreover, supportive was welded to connect the cover door with the top surface of the furnace in order to open the door to approximately 90 o. To keep the door cover closing during the melting metal (operation process), a stabilizers were added so that one end is fixed with the door cover and the other end was fixed with the furnace wall to keep the door cover closing

Seventh step: The gate channel was built up during this stage for pouring the melting metal from the crucible into the tundish. The gate channel be isolated by firebrick and clay. The gate was located at the top of the refractory structure.

Conclusion and recommendation The conclusion points is: 1-Furnace capable of melting two types of metals. 2- After we turn on the furnace the temperature inside is 1100 and did not heat up the outer surface of the furnace and this shows the effectiveness of the insulating material. 3- Can melt large amounts inside the furnace up to 40 kg.

The recommendation points is : 1-Add motor to facilitate rotation of the furnace structure to carry out the casting. 2-Production line can be designed for complete casting process, such as solidification stage, cutting process metal working and shaping. 3-Automated control casting process can be design.
