(1) Inadequate coking removal from the furnace tubes during shutdown for maintenance; (2) Significant changes in steam injection volume and feed volume lead to a substantial decrease in flow velocity inside the furnace tubes ; (3) Unstable combustion, with flames of varying lengths or shooting directly at the furnace tubes, resulting in localized overheating and coking of the furnace tubes ; (4) The temperature at the convective outlet is excessively high, exceeding 420°C – above the critical reaction temperature – and the flow rate is low, resulting in coking ; (5) Furnace inlet flow, long-term deviation in the two branches ; (6) Excessive changes in the properties of the raw materials, high residual carbon content, or high salt content ; (7) Inaccurate instrument readings result in a high temperature at the furnace outlet ; (8) Illusions from control and indication instruments, leading to incorrect judgments.
