A novel oxygen-enriched burner “Innova-Jet Swing” has been developed for tundish pre-heating. Applying “self-induced oscillating phenomenon” to the burner and periodically moving direction of the flame, Innova-Jet Swing achieves wide coverage of heating area. Evaluation test for characteristics of the burner revealed that Innova-Jet Swing makes a wide and uniform heating area compared to the conventional oxygen-enriched burner, which contributes less damage to refractories in the furnace. Innova-Jet Swing has already been installed, with significant fuel use reduction.
