LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will feature its new Transient
Heating oxy-fuel burner, the world's only smart burner technology
using a sensor-driven control strategy to deliver more uniform
heating in reverb furnaces, at CastExpo 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia, from April 27-30.
Interactive 3D hologram technology will give visitors to Air
Products' booth 1819 a clearer view of the unique design and
operation of the company's new Transient Heating burner, which
increases overall heat transfer efficiency, achieves more uniform
heating throughout the furnace, eliminates cold zones, and
maximizes melt rates. The 3D hologram technology also will feature
some of the company's other gas-based technologies and equipment,
including oxygen enrichment and solids injection in cupolas, molten
metal blanketing, and Air Products Process Intelligence-based
offerings, which use sensors and wireless communications technology
for process optimization based on advanced analytics.
Air Products offers a range of industrial gas-based solutions
aimed at helping ferrous and non-ferrous foundries lower fuel/coke
costs, increase yield, boost productivity, reduce off-gas volume
and emissions, and improve quality and safety. The company can
provide a reliable supply of industrial gases—including argon,
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide—in a variety of
cost-effective supply options to meet the requirements of
every size customer, from small- to large-volume users.
CastExpo attendees who stop by Air Products' booth 1819 will be
supporting the American Foundry Society (AFS) Institute while
finding solutions to many of the challenges they face in their
daily operations. On behalf of each visitor to its booth, the Air
Products Foundation will donate $100,
up to a total of $15,000, to the AFS
Institute in support of its mission to provide training for
excellence in metalcasting. According to AFS CEO Dough Kurkul,
the grant will play a pivotal role in allowing the AFS
Institute to define and deliver innovative training pathways that
are closely aligned to the evolving career paths in modern
metalcasting.
