What is emissivity?• Ability of a material to absorb and reemit
radiant energy.
• A black body has an emissivity of 1.0.Theoretical concept. Non-existent.
• A perfect reflector has an emissivity of 0.0.Theoretical concept. Non-existent.
• All real materials fall between 0.0 and 1.0.
• Coatings can increase emissivity to 0.95.

The science of emissivity:
Q = EH. δ. (TH
4 -TC4)
TH = Temperature of hotter surface
Q = Reradiated energy (BTU/hr-ft2)EH = Emissivity of hotter surfaceδ= Stefan-Boltzmann constant
TC = Temperature of cooler surface

Potential Benefits on Refractory:•Fuel savings and/or production increases of 3 to 6%.•More uniform heat distribution to the coil.•Less heat loss and lower external casing
temperatures. Improved personnel safety.
NOx Considerations:•Realized fuel savings lowers fuel NOx.•Lowering radiant box temperature has the
potential to reduce thermal NOx.•NOx reductions of 20% - 30% have been reported.

Process Considerations:
•Radiant box temperature and flue gas crossovertemperature are reduced because more availableheat is transferred to the coils.
• Preheat and/or steam production in the convectionsection will be reduced accordingly.
