Abstract:
A combustion aiding apparatus for a steel-making electric-arc-furnace characterized by installing a combustion aiding burner on a balcony having an inspection-and-working opening through which to drop tapping hole filling-agent and also by making the nozzle of said combustion aiding burner freely inserted into and withdrawn from a furnace through the inspection-and-working opening, in a conventional combustion aiding apparatus for a steel-making electric-arc-furnace of eccentric bottom tapping type.
Abstract:
A preheating apparatus comprises a transfer duct connected to a dust collecting combustion chamber for steel making equipment, a hood fitting to the duct and shiftable to the position of one of preheating pits selectively, a bucket removably placed in each of the preheating pits and having an exhaust gas passage in its interior and openable bottom means at its bottom, and a communicating duct for holding each of the pits in communication with an outlet duct of the combustion chamber. The material to be charged into steel making equipment is placed into the bucket and preheated with exhaust gas from the combustion chamber. The apparatus assures savings in energy, improved safety and enhanced heat exchange efficiency.
