It is introduced about application results of an oscillating combustion technique in industrial fields. The technique is employed to reduce NOx emission and save fuel consumption. The oscillating system is designed relatively simple and economical, which consists of a control unit and an operation unit. The oscillating system is installed in direct heating facilities such as ladle preheaters and a reheating furnace. Each heating facility requires different oscillating conditions, of course. As a result, it is found that the oscillating combustion technique is very useful to reduce NOx emission and save fuel consumption in heating facilities. However, the results strongly depend on operation conditions and combustion loadings of facilities. The effects of oscillating combustion can be maximized in normal operation but reduced in unexpected operation or large turn down operation. Thus, an automatic control of oscillating conditions will be required to cover these unsteady operations in the future.
