Draft
Critical at Bridgewall
– Avoid Pressurizing Heater Casing
– Avoid Leakage of Flue Gases to
Atmosphere
Critical at Burners
– Insure Sufficient Air Flow
– Insure Fuel-Air Mixing Not Limited
– Normally Acceptable If Good Value

Ceramic Coating of Tubes
Works in 2 stages:
1. Removing oxide scale (grit
blasting) – Heat transfer
surface are improved 3-5%
in radiant efficiency
2. Coating helps by providing
a barrier to reoxidation of
the external surface – i.e.
improved heat transfer is
maintained
