INTEGRATED MULTIZONE PULSING SYSTEM (IMPS)
IMPS® stands for 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 gives a perfect solution for temperature uniformity as well as fuel e iciency.
- The hardware and software which is now used to make IMPS® possible has been developed by Nutec Bickley for over 20 years and has been used in ceramic firing in hundreds of installations.
- IMPS® Allows different firing modes at any part of a firing cycle 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 100C.
- Excess Air- perfect for very tight temperature uniformity.
- On Ratio – The most fuel eficient 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.
