Use of stack air to conserve energy in cupolas. Final report
The Field Demonstration of the Stack Air Project had four objectives which can be stated as follows: develop and demonstrate a safe and economically viable Stack Air system which could avoid the need for a conventional after burner; document the energy savings from eliminating afterburner(s); establish the impact of afterburst elimination on the environment and on the safe operation of a gray iron foundry; and transfer the technology from a university research cupola to at least two commercial melting operations in order to pave the way for further technology transfer to the foundry industry. This report deals with these four objectives. It includes the findings obtained from Tioga Foundry in Owego, New York using a 42 inch cupola and those from ABEX Foundry in Meadowlands, PA using a 54 inch cupola. Later an environmental impact study was carried out at the Tioga Casting Facility.
