“…Proper operation of the furnace can ensure minimization of heat consumption, scale loss as well as ensure high quality of the final products and semi-finished products [7][8][9]. Increasing the efficiency of heating furnaces is possible by modeling the phenomena occurring in them [10][11][12][13], including the oxidation of the charge [14][15][16][17][18].…”

This paper investigates strategies for reducing fuel consumption during the heating of steel charge before plastic processing. The study examines the impact of flue gas recuperation for combustion air preheating and the utilization of enthalpy from hot charge supplied by COS. We conducted calculations to analyze the effect of combustion air temperature and charge temperature at the furnace inlet on fuel consumption. Furthermore, an estimation of potential cost savings in heating is presented. The results of the calculations show that the use of recuperation and enthalpy of the hot charge allows for significant economic and ecological savings. These savings can range from more than 30% to more than 60% in economic terms.
