Patent number: 11034889Abstract: A furnace system includes at least one lower radiant section having a first firebox disposed therein and at least one upper radiant section disposed above the at least one lower radiant section. The at least one upper radiant section has a second firebox disposed therein. The furnace system further includes at least one convection section disposed above the at least one upper radiant section and an exhaust corridor defined by the first firebox, the second firebox, and the at least one convection section. Arrangement of the at least one upper radiant section above the at least one lower radiant section reduces an area required for construction of the furnace system.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: AMEC FOSTER WHEELER USA CORPORATIONInventors: Ronald T. Myszka, Bruce T. Young

Patent number: 10889759Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a furnace having a heated portion arranged adjacent to an unheated portion. A plurality of straight tubes are formed of a first material and are at least partially disposed in the heated portion. A plurality of return bends are operatively coupled to the plurality of straight tubes. The plurality of return bends are formed of a second material and are at least partially disposed in the unheated portion. The first material exhibits a maximum temperature greater than the second material thereby facilitating increased run time of the furnace. The second material exhibits wear-resistance properties greater than the first material thereby facilitating wear-resistance of the furnace.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: AMEC FOSTER WHEELER USA CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce T. Young, Ronald T. Myszka
