INTEGRATED MULTIZONE PULSING SYSTEM (IMPS™)
IMPS™ is Nutec Bickley’s unique firing and cooling pulsing control system.
- Individual burners are pulsed from high fire to low fire at a controlled rate to give the required heat input.
- The additional burner velocity at precise gas-to-air ratios provides a perfect solution in relation to temperature uniformity as well as fuel efficiency.
- The hardware and software that is now used to make IMPS™ possible has been developed by Nutec Bickley over the past 20+ years and has been used in ceramic firing in hundreds of installations.
- IMPS™ allows different firing modes at any stage to create the perfect firing cycle for the required firing parameters.
- IMPS™ can be used in batch and continuous processes and can be integrated with heat recovery systems.
IMPS™ firing modes include:
- Steaming – prolonged, controlled low temperature hold, as low as 100°C (212°F)
- Excess Air – perfect for very tight temperature uniformity
- On Ratio – the most fuel efficient option available
- Reduction – specific requirement for certain products and processes
- Rapid Cooling – when speed of cooling is most important
- Normal Cooling – where some control is required
- Slow or extra controlled cooling – for times when cooling rate is critical
- Controlled cooling using burners – for sensitive products where temperature needs to be held during the cooling process
