Furnace designs vary as to its function, heating duty, type of fuel and method of introducing combustion
air. Fuel flows into the burner and is burnt with air provided from an air blower. Burners can also be
floor mounted, wall mounted or roof mounted depending on design. The flames heat up the tubes,
which in turn heat the fluid inside in the first part of the furnace known as the radiant section or firebox.
The gases from the combustion are known as flue gas. After the flue gas leaves the firebox, most
furnace designs include a convection section where more heat is recovered before venting to the
atmosphere through the flue gas stack.
Heat transfer takes place by convection, and the tubes are finned to increase heat transfer. The first two
tube rows in the bottom of the convection section and at the top of the radiant section is an area of
bare tubes (without fins) and are known as the shield section, so named because they are still exposed
to plenty of radiation from the firebox and they also act to shield the convection section tubes, which
are normally of less resistant material from the high temperatures in the firebox.
