- Abstract
- This paper presents the results of 12 heat exposure tests: 6 in standard, full-scale wall and floor furnaces, and 6 in non-standard, intermediate-scale wall and floor furnaces. These tests were conducted to investigate the effect of full-scale furnace depth (wall and floor furnaces), furnace size (full-scale and intermediate-scale furnaces) and furnace orientation (intermediate-scale wall and floor furnaces) on the heat exposure.The results showed that, the difference in heat exposure in full-scale floor and wall as well as in the intermediate-scale floor and wall furnaces is 5% and 4%, respectively. However, the heat exposure in an intermediate-scale wall and floor furnace is higher than in full-scale wall and floor furnaces by 18% and 15%, respectively.
