These tip sheets were created by the Industrial Technologies Program, funded by the U.S. Department of energy. Each tip sheet details a different process heating system energy saving measure, or a process by which a process heating system can be evaluated.
Tip Sheet 1 – Preheated Combustion Air
Tip Sheet 2 – Check Burner Air to Fuel Ratios
Tip Sheet 3 – Oxygen-Enriched Combustion
Tip Sheet 4 – Check Heat Transfer Surfacese
Tip Sheet 5 – Reduce Air Infiltration in Furnaces
Tip Sheet 6 – Furnace Pressure Controllers
Tip Sheet 7 – Reduce Radiation Losses from Heating Equipment
Tip Sheet 8 – Install Waste Heat Recovery Systems for Fuel-Fired Furnaces
Tip Sheet 9 – Load Preheating Using Flue Gases from a Fuel-Fired Heating System
Tip Sheet 10 – Using Waste Heat for External Processes
Tip Sheet 11 – Use Lower Flammable Limit Monitoring Equipment to Improve Process Oven Efficiency
