Furnace Optimization;

Reducing operating costs is a major focus of part producers as the costs of energy, manpower and materials increase. The continuous brazing furnace is one area where there are opportunities to reduce cost. Typically, production requirements and the chemistry of the brazing process dictate the operational characteristics and costs during normal production. However, significant savings can be achieved through the optimization of the furnace parameters during those times when the furnace is not in production. A review of these parameters and the impact that each has on the cost of the brazing furnace is reviewed.
