How PSNERGY’s Radiant Tube Inserts Extend Furnace Tube Life and Boost Efficiency

Industrial furnaces are essential to manufacturing production, yet inefficiencies, cracked radiant tubes, and unexpected downtime can lead to costly disruptions. PSNERGY’s patented Radiant Tube Inserts (RTIs) are designed to solve these challenges, helping manufacturers improve furnace efficiency, extend tube life, and reduce energy consumption. Here’s how:

  1. Capture Waste Heat and Retain It in the Furnace
    One of the key benefits of RTIs is their ability to capture heat that would typically be wasted out the exhaust. By capturing this energy and keeping it in the furnace, RTIs reduce energy waste and maximize heat utilization. This keeps your furnace running efficiently while lowering fuel consumption and operational costs.
  2. Drive Energy Toward the Load with Non-Symmetrical Design
    PSNERGY’s patented Radiant Tube Inserts are uniquely designed with a non-symmetrical shape that drives radiant energy directly toward the load. Unlike other designs that rely solely on mixing, our inserts optimize radiant energy transfer, ensuring heat reaches the load, where it’s needed most. This not only improves furnace performance but also reduces the need to overfire burners, which can cause long-term damage to the radiant tubes.
  3. Allow the System to Breathe Freely
    With their wide-open cross-section, PSNERGY’s patented RTIs avoid putting backpressure on the combustion system, allowing it to operate normally without compromising performance. This design ensures proper airflow, prevents operational disruptions, and enhances energy transfer efficiency without compromising burner performance and life
  4. Built with the Right Material: Silicon Carbide
    Constructed from high-performance silicon carbide, RTIs are thermally stable at temperatures exceeding 3,000°F and resistant to oxidation. This durability ensures reliable operation in even the harshest furnace conditions, extending radiant tube life and reducing maintenance costs.
  5. Prevent Tube Cracks and Improve Furnace Longevity
    Uneven thermal expansion is a major cause of tube cracking. Installing PSNERGY’s RTIs in the exhaust leg of the tube will balance radiant tube temperatures between the burner and exhaust legs reducing thermal stress and the risk of cracking. Additionally, by eliminating the need to overfire burners, RTIs help prevent flux cracking, ensuring consistent and reliable furnace operation and longer tube life.

The Big Deal: Radiant Energy Transfer
PSNERGY’s patented, non-symmetrical RTI design is revolutionary. By prioritizing radiant energy transfer, our RTIs increase energy delivery to the load by capturing waste energy and keeping it inside the furnace, where it belongs. This innovation maximizes efficiency, extends tube life, and ensures sustainable furnace performance.
