Thermal operation of the DSP-120 Consteel furnace in the Ashinsk metallurgical works

The heat losses with waste gases in modern electric arc furnaces are 20–25%. Scrap heating by waste gases is performed in Fuchs Systemtechnik shaft furnaces and Consteel furnaces with conveyer charging. The results of balance heats conducted in the DSP-120 Consteel electric furnace located in the Ashinsk metallurgical works are presented, and measures for increasing the energy efficiency of its operation are proposed.
