Geuda Heat Treatment Furnaces

1. The document provides operating instructions for the "Lakmini" furnace, including connecting gas and water lines correctly, checking for gas leaks, lighting the burners away from the furnace, and adjusting gas and oxygen levels. 2. Steps are outlined for directing burner flames into the furnace chamber while maintaining a 5mm gap, ensuring the water cooling system is functioning, and gradually bringing burners closer to the furnace while adjusting gas and oxygen inputs. 3. The instructions also cover what to do if a burner is cut off, shutting everything down after operation, and changing the battery in the temperature recorder every 50 hours of furnace operation.

Operating Instruction for “Lakmini” Furnace

1. Connect the LP Gas supply, Oxygen supply and water (In and out) lines to correct connecting
points of the furnace. Don’t get mixed up.
2. Ensure that there are no gas leaks at the joints of the gas lines. In case of detecting a gas leak,
close the gas supply values and tighten the joints properly. If necessary, change the hose clips.
3. When lighting the burners, never direct them straight away towards the furnace. Turn away the
burners from the furnace by loosing the nut at the lower end of the supporting rack on which
burner is mounted. Then, firstly slightly open the LP gas supply value and light at the burner
mouths immediately.
4. Then, while keeping the pressure at 0.5 Kg/cm2 in the gauge of the Oxygen supply cylinder, open
the Oxygen valve until you obtain bright flames from both burners. Then adjust the LP gas valve
also to get the required bright flame.
5. Now, turn the two burners and direct the flame straight towards the chamber of the furnace
through the holes on both sides of the furnace while keeping 5mm gap between the burner
mouth and the furnace. Fix the burners well by tightening the nuts.
6. Ensure that water cooling system is now functioning through the burners and the furnace.
7. While gradually increasing the LP gas and oxygen inputs to the burners, bring the burners closer
to the furnace. Note that oxygen should only be increased until you obtain bright flame.
8. In the case of burner gets cut off, close the LP gas and Oxygen valves immediately. Never supply
gas directly into the hot furnace from the burners before lighting.
9. To light the burner, which got cut off, repeat the process from above step 3 by turning the
burner away from the furnace.
10. To put off the burners after operation, close the LP gas Oxygen valves simultaneously.
11. Change the 9V battery of the temperature recorder, after every 50 working hours of the
furnace.
12. Keep the temperature recorder switch off position whenever the furnace is not in operation.
Please note that incorrect temperatures will be indicated when exhausted batteries are used.
