Abstract
This paper covers the results of the first trials of an invention called the Heat Flow Transmitter. A pilot project on a casthouse furnace, using a technology package that includes the Heat Flow Transmitter (HFT) and an air curtain, succeeded in reducing the fuel cost by 33%, and is expected to provide a reduction of carbon emissions of 3,200 tons/year for the casthouse.
