Time for a Tune-Up
Question: When is the right time to tune a furnace? Answer: Now! Industrial Furnaces should be tuned at least once per year to make sure that all of the burners are firing properly. That is, the burners should deliver the heating capacity needed to support production. They should fire with the proper air/fuel ratio for…
Hot Dip Galvanizing Kettle Change
Here is a photo from a hot dip galvanizing kettle change that took place just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Our customer requested that CIC Pittsburgh supply the kettle, kettle wrap materials, and alloy supports. In addition, with the furnace going offline, this was the perfect opportunity to replace some of the combustion and control components.…
Galvanizing Furnace Service
Servicing our customers’ galvanizing furnaces gives us an opportunity to observe the production from some very impressive operations. Yes, our focus was on optimizing the combustion system (proper High Fire and Low Fire settings for the pulse-fired burners), setting the waste gas damper, and checking out the control system. But even so, how can you…

A new furnace, upgrading an existing furnace, servicing equipment, and finding the parts you need to keep running. The event runs from…
Another Heat Treat Revamp
Another Heat Treat Furnace Revamp in the books! Following up on a combustion system tune-up, CIC Pittsburgh found that many of the components were not functional, and that the furnace had been designed without metering orifices needed to optimize the gas flow. Also, the exhaust system was severely undersized, so we designed a new exhaust…
Hot Contents
CAUTION! CONTENTS MAY BE HOT Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you pulled the cover plates off of an End-Fired Galvanizing Furnace? The high-velocity burners shown here are producing their signature clear, blue flame and delivering their full heating capacity. Time to set the cover plates and start dipping! CIC Pittsburgh…
