Description
Submerged arc furnace — also known as electric arc furnace or electric resistance furnace.
It is an industrial electric furnace with huge power consumption.
Mainly consists of furnace shell, furnace cover, furnace lining, short net, water cooling system, smoke exhaust system, dust removal system, electrode shell, electrode pressing and lifting system, loading and unloading system, controller, burn-through device, hydraulic system, submerged arc furnace Transformers and various electrical equipment.
SAF is mainly used for reducing smelting ores, carbonaceous reducing agents, solvents, etc.
It is mainly suitable for the production of ferromanganese, ferrochromium, silicon-manganese alloy, ferronickel and other ferrous metal alloys.
It is an important smelting furnace for the production of industrial raw materials and calcium carbide and other chemical raw materials in the metallurgical industry.
Working Features
The submerged arc furnace is made of carbon or magnesium refractory material as furnace lining and self-baking electrodes.
Electrodes are inserted into the furnace material for submerged arc operation, which uses arc energy and current to pass through the material and generate energy due to the resistance of the material to melt the metal.
It is an industrial furnace with continuous operation, continuous feeding and intermittent discharge of metal or slag.
Characteristics
According to the structural characteristics and working characteristics of the submerged arc furnace, 70% of the system reactance of the SAF is generated by the short grid system, and the short grid is a system with high current operation, and the maximum current can reach tens of thousands of amperes.
The performance of the submerged arc furnace determines the performance of the submerged arc furnace.
It is for this reason that the natural power factor of the submerged arc furnace is difficult to reach above 0.85.
The natural power factor of most furnaces is between 0.7 and 0.8, The lower power factor not only reduces the efficiency of the transformer, consumes a lot of wasted power, but also imposes additional power fines by the power department。
At the same time, due to the manual control of the electrodes and the stacking process, the power imbalance between the three phases increases, and the maximum imbalance The smelting efficiency can reach more than 20%, which leads to low smelting efficiency and higher electricity costs.
Therefore, improving the power factor of the short grid and reducing the imbalance of the grid become an effective means to reduce energy consumption and improve smelting efficiency.
If appropriate measures are taken to improve the power factor of the short network, the following effects can be achieved:
(1) Reduce power consumption by 5~20%;
(2) Increase production by more than 5%~10%
Therefore, whether you need the entire furnace, production line or accessories, you need to choose high-quality and after-sales guaranteed suppliers.
