Industrial Furnace Repair Tips and Instructions
The machines used in factories operate as complex mechanisms. But the common problem faced by technicians while working with them are often generated by apparent negligence. A mere erroneous calibration is enough to make the furnace perform inefficiently. Here is a list of furnace problems and repairs that one can perform after learning its features from industrial furnace manufacturer’s handbook: 1. Apparent Gas Leakage Problem It is easier to detect gas leakage in furnaces because it not only hinders its work output but also creates a distinct scent in the nearby atmosphere. In case the problem of gas leakage is clearly established, immediate action of switching off the valve should be taken care of. Holding the valve with an adjustable wrench and rotating it to one quarter is enough to switch it off. Until further repair, it is better to avoid lighting matchsticks, candles, and electric switches near the furnace. Gas utility, industrial furnace manufacturers, or fire department must be contacted immediately and the area must be evacuated. For furnaces with a thermocouple, technicians can check for blockage in its orifices for stopping the gas leakage themselves. 2. Poor Heating Effect in Furnace or Lagging Cycles If the furnace is producing lesser amounts of heat than expected, it can be a symptom of many eventual problems. Hence, each of them must be tested individually to avoid such cases in the
