Guideline related to: Article 1, paragraph 3.11
Question:
Are hot blast stoves, which heat incoming cold air to a blast furnace by a regenerative process, covered by the exclusion in Article 1 paragraph 3.11?
Answer:
Yes, they are excluded.
Reason:
While recuperators and hot blast stoves operate in different ways, the first heating incoming cold air by heat exchange with another hot gas and the second by the firing of an alternative heat source, they can be considered similar for the purposes of exclusion under this article. Those hot blast stoves should be included under Article 1 paragraph 3.11.
