摘要:
An AC arc furnace has a plurality of electrodes arranged inside a furnace chamber enclosed by a shell. Each electrode is electrically connected to an electrode power source in series through corresponding auxiliary electromagnetic coils. The electromagnetic coils are arranged around the furnace shell in a pre-defined geometric pattern proximate the corresponding electrodes so that when each of the electrodes receives power from the power source and generates an arc inside the furnace, external magnetic fields are generated by the corresponding series connectedelectromagnetic coils. The external magnetic fields penetrate the shell to control deflection of the arcs caused by internal magnetic fields.

Method and device to feed tuyeres in an electric furnace, the tuyeres comprising a central conduit to deliver a comburent gaseous substance and a peripheral conduit to deliver a cooling gaseous substance, the method providing to send to the central conduit a comburent mixture consisting of oxygen and neutral gas (N2, Ar, etc.) in defined percentages, the oxygen and the neutral gas being fed, for each of the tuyeres, to a mixing device with a high mixing capacity, at least the pressure of the neutral gas being able to be adjusted on the relative feed line so as to modulate the pressure of the mixture according to the characteristics of the melting process.

A mounting enclosure and an improved mounting arrangement for apparatus used in metal melting, refining and processing, particularly those apparatus adapted for steel making in an electric arc furnace, such as burners, lances and the like with supersonic oxygen lancing capability and injectors or the like for the introduction of particulate matter. The mounting enclosure is fluid cooled to survive the hostile environment of the electric arc furnace and is designed to occupy the step between the side wall and hearth of the furnace without any substantial change to the structure of the furnace. The mounting enclosure comprises a plurality of fluid cooling conduits surrounding an apparatus aperture and an injector aperture which are formed through the enclosure and adapted to mount an apparatus and an injector. The mounting arrangement includes utilizing the mounting enclosure to mount an apparatus with supersonic oxidizing gas lancing capability and an injector for particulate carbon in an electric arc furnace. Because the mounting enclosure is approximately the width of the step, the discharge openings of the apparatus and the injector are moved closer to the surface of the melt and toward the center of the furnace thereby providing increased efficiency. The discharge openings will now be extended to near the edge of the step so that the oxidizing gas flow pattern of the apparatus does not degrade the hearth material or other furnace equipment mounted nearby and the carbon flow pattern of the injector sufficiently agitates the slag to produce foaming.

A direct-current arc furnace for producing steel has a smelting vessel with electrodes, tapping openings for the molten mass and slag, and a device for a direct removal of exhaust gases. The smelting vessel is extended upwardly by a central shaft for introducing melt-down material into the vessel. The extension of the central shaft forms a melt-down material column. A shaft suction device is provided as an extension of the shaft for removal of the exhaust gases during the smelting process. Adjacent to the shaft openings are provided in the upper part of the smelting vessel for receiving a vessel suction device for dust and/or gases resulting during the charging process of the melt-down material. The shaft suction device and the vessel suction device are connected to a common device and switching elements are provided for actuating only one suction device and/or adjusting a combination of the exhaust gas flows dependent on the charging and smelting process.
摘要:
A mounting block and an improved mounting arrangement for apparatus used in metal melting, refining and processing, particularly those apparatus adapted to steel making in an electric arc furnace, such as burners, lances and the like with supersonic oxygen lancing capability. The mounting block is fluid cooled to survive the hostile environment of the electric arc furnace and is designed to rest on the step between the side wall and hearth of the furnace without any substantial change to the structure of the furnace. The mounting block comprises a plurality of fluid cooling conduits surrounding an aperture which is formed through the block and adapted to mount the apparatus. The mounting arrangement includes utilizing the mounting block to mount an apparatus with supersonic oxidizing gas or lancing capability in an electric arc furnace. The apparatus is mounted by passing it through an aperture in a water cooled side panel aligned with the mounting aperture in the mounting block. Because the mounting block is approximately the width of the step, the discharge opening of the apparatus is moved closer to the surface of the melt and toward the center of the furnace thereby providing increased efficiency. The discharge opening will now also extend past the inner edge of the step so that the oxidizing gas flow pattern does not degrade the hearth material and other furnace equipment mounted nearby.
