Question

to ensure safety and avoid thermal burns to eople working around the furnace, the outer front surface of the furnace should be kept below 50 C. does the furnace front surface require insulation to prevent thermal burns?

Answer 1

Answer: YES. The furnace front surface requires insulation to prevent thermal burns.

Explanation:thermal burn is a type of burn sustained from making contact with heated objects, such as boiling water, steam, hot cooking oil, fire, and furnace . a furnace is a type of oven decided to melt metals, although the functions depends of the types. Constant exposure to temperature range of 43-50 degree Celsius is enough to cause tissue necrosis. Therefore manufacturers of furnace devices has taken into consideration some safety measures that can help prevent and protect against thermal burns. These measures includes:

- insulation of the furnace front surface which can conduct heat

-insulation if all electrical installation to prevent electrocution( a type of thermal burn). I hope this helps. Thanks
