Furnace Heat Up, Hold and Cool Down

The life and performance of stoves and furnaces greatly depend on successful heat ups, heat holds and cool downs. Team’s technicians have successfully performed thousands of heat ups, heat holds and cool downs on a complete range of stoves and furnaces.

Heat Ups

Team Industrial Services can ensure a uniform heat up with our high velocity gas burner system equipped with an exceptional turndown ratio (100:1). Team burners run on either LPG or a natural gas supply. A uniform heat up will eliminate the problems experienced with traditional heating methods, such as local hot-spots and differential expansion in the furnace walls and crown. Team’s system places the furnace under a slight positive pressure allowing for an even distribution of heat throughout the structure.

Heat Hold Maintenance

Team can hold your stoves and furnace hot while maintenance is performed on burners, checker replacement, regenerators, and brick as well as general furnace maintenance.

Controlled Cool Downs

If only part of the furnace needs repair, it is important to preserve the bulk of the refractory brick in optimum condition. The best way to do this is to cool the furnace down under controlled conditions. The Team high velocity burner system is ideally suited for the cool down. When the furnace temperature has been lowered to approximately 2,000°F (1,100°C), Team burners will take over from the furnace burners reducing the temperature to a predetermined schedule. Below 200°F the burner is switched off and the combustion air is left running in order to further cool the furnace to ambient temperature.
