Natural gas furnaces Gas furnace An enclosure in which a gaseous fuel is burned. Domestic heating systems may have gas furnaces. Some industrial power plants are fired with gases that remain as a by-product of other plant processes. called "crackers" are used in the process of manufacturing ethylene. Within these crackers are fans and heating elements which control the temperature of the process. Power outages were stopping the fans, causing damage to the heating elements - just one power outage Noun 1. power outage - equipment failure resulting when the supply of power fails; "the ice storm caused a power outage" power failure equipment failure, breakdown - a cessation of normal operation; "there was a power breakdown" caused thousands of dollars in lost production time and lost product. The facility required an outdoor installation of a power protection system. S&C's PureWave UPS System was chosen because it's the only whole-facility system that can be installed outdoors. In August 2002, two 500-kW units were installed: one rated 380 V, the other 690 V, 50Hz. Applied with a back-up generator, the PureWave UPS Systems provide consistent, reliable power to the crackers, with 100% protection from the periodic power outages in the area. This reduced downtime has significantly improved productivity at the plant.
