A furnace, with a shallow hearth, usually non-regenerative, having a roof that deflects the flame and radiates heat toward the hearth or the surface of the charge. Firing may be with coal, pulverized coal, oil, or gas. Two of the most important types are the open-hearth steel furnaces and the large reverberatories employed in copper smelting. 2, record 1, English, - reverberatory%20furnace

L'air primaire comprend la totalité de l'air entrant dans le four par le brûleur. Dans le cas particulier d'un four moderne de cimenterie, l'air primaire représente de 8 à 12 % de l'air total. Il permet une combustion immédiate mais partielle du combustible, et l'accrochage de la flamme. En faisant varier le débit et la pression d'injection, on modifie la forme de la flamme. Dans le cas d'une chauffe au charbon, une partie de l'air primaire peut servir au transport de celui-ci. L'air introduit ultérieurement dans le four pour assurer la combustion totale est appelé, selon les configurations industrielles particulières, air secondaire, air tertiaire... 3, record 4, French, - air%20secondaire

Exterior hoods are suction openings located adjacent to open sources of contamination. This type of hood removes contaminants by creating controlled air currents that capture and draw the contaminants into the duct system. The shape and size of the capture zone (the area into which contaminants are drawn) is determined by the design of the hood and the rate of airflow. Examples of these hoods include side draft hoods, slot hoods, downdraft hoods and exhaust ducts located close to the source. 2, record 10, English, - side%20draft%20hood

The dutch oven is essentially a refractory lined combustion furnace which is attached to the package boiler. The dutch oven, up until a short time ago, was one of the most common methods of burning bark. The dutch oven is still used in certain cases when large quantities of bark are to be burned, when the moisture content is very high, and when the fuel has not been hogged to the normal size required for a grate. In the dutch oven configuration, fuel is introduced through the roof of the dutch oven and forms a conical pile which burns on the surface and around the edges. 1, record 13, English, - dutch%20oven
