Fox Thermal Instruments Inc. is offering a free report on how to improve the efficiency of boilers, furnaces and other combustion processes.

Fox Thermal offers boiler operating tips in this free guide.
The high cost of natural gas is a problem for most companies, but there are solutions. Fox Thermal Instruments Inc., Gilroy, Calif., is offering a free report on how to improve the efficiency of boilers, furnaces and other combustion processes. Entitled "Simple Techniques to Optimize Boiler Efficiency," the report explores eight ways to identify cost issues and how to improve them. The report offers advice such as:

  • How to Optimize Design and Operation. Regardless of what control system is used, the basic foundation to optimal operation is having access to accurate and timely information; controls equipped with the right strategies for operating conditions; a reliable safety system; and final elements that respond properly.
  • How to Employ Diagnostic Tools. Having tools to monitor process performance as well as process equipment such as valves is valuable to avoid and fix problems.
  • How to Improve Measurement Accuracy. Fuel costs comprise a majority of the operating costs associated with steam generation. Instruments often are selected based on cost, but how well they are able to remain accurate over time can have major cost impacts.
  • How to Reduce Process Variability. Like a built-in auditing tool, the control system can be programmed to alert personnel of differences that can provide early indication of deteriorating control.

Also with the free report, Fox Thermal will provide the "Fox Application Guide: Measuring Natural Gas and Combustion Air in Boiler and Furnace Applications."
