To improve energy consumption and to meet quality requirement for slab heating process of reheat furnaces in hot strip mills, a new optimal slab heat pattern calculation simulator has been developed.
The simulator consists of the following functions;
(1) two-dimensional (slab thickness direction and slab length direction) slab temperature calculation function, which is capable of calculating skidmark along the length of a slab,
(2) furnace heat balance calculation function,
(3) optimizing calculation function of slab heat pattern using linear programming method.
The developed simulator has been installed into a furnace computer control system for actual plant.
This paper describes the functions of the simulator and simulation results using the simulator.
