Salt Bath Converted from Natural Gas to Electric Heat

2 Pages

Heater operation is initiated each working day morning at 3:00 by a time clock. By 5:30 A.M. the salt bath has reached 300 ° F., then operation is automatically placed under the control of a thermostat which has been preset the night before to a maximum of 700 ° F. High-temperature open flame was causing 1. Great discomfort for workers, particularly in immediate vicinity of the tank, and 2. Burnouts of the tank bottom which necessitated tank replacements at $400 each and replacement of fire brick lining of combustion chamber at $1,000, each approximately every two years.
