The Rise and Prospect of DC Melting Furnace Equipment

With the continuous changes in the industrial field of the ripples, DC melting furnace with its unique advantages and broad prospects for development, is gradually emerging as a bright star to lead the industry's technological progress.

Currently in the metallurgical industry in the application of DC mineral heat furnace is since the 1970s began to develop a new technology. DC furnace arc stabilization, power concentration, high thermal efficiency, with low power consumption, less electrode consumption, low operating noise, high productivity.

Abroad, in 1984 in South Africa has built capacity 40MVA high carbon ferrochrome direct current furnace. China's 70-80 years 1800-8000kvA ferrosilicon, industrial silicon, silicomanganese, ferrochrome, solid waste treatment DC mineral heat furnace (single bottom electrode) and DC steelmaking furnace has achieved some successful experience, in recent years, China has been built and put into production DC furnace are mainly:

12500-33000kvA Silicon-Manganese DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

12500-16500kvA High Silicon DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

12500kvA Silicon Barium DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

12500kvA Silicon Zirconium DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

10000-16000kw Industrial Silicon DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

9000kw Ferrochrome DC Mineral Heat Furnace(4 electrodes)

30000kw Titanium Slag DC Mineral Heat Furnace(1 base electrode)

The development of DC melting furnaces represents a major leap forward in technological progress. Compared with the traditional AC mineral heat furnace, its advantages are obvious. In terms of energy efficiency, DC melting furnace will be converted into heat energy efficiency significantly improved. Actual statistics show that its energy utilization rate is about 20% higher than the traditional furnace, which greatly reduces energy loss and injects a strong impetus to reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency. At the same time, the DC mineral heat furnace shows excellent stability and controllability during operation, and is able to accurately regulate the reaction conditions in the furnace, thus ensuring a steady improvement in product quality and a steady increase in production.

According to the existing data, a comprehensive comparison of the production indicators of DC furnace and AC furnace, DC furnace output, power consumption and other indicators are significantly better than the AC furnace, the increase in output is due to the reduction of smelting power consumption and the improvement of the power factor of the joint effect of the results.

Currently DC furnace 4 electrode, 6 electrodes and other multi-electrode technology development, more reflecting the obvious advantages of DC mineral furnace smelting ferroalloys, is the inevitable trend of energy saving and large-scale mineral furnace. In addition, the integration of intelligent technology makes the DC smelting furnace automation degree greatly improved, the operation is more convenient and efficient, for enterprise production has brought great convenience.

At the same time as the concept of environmental protection in-depth, DC melting furnace also actively embrace the green trend of the times. Relevant data show that the DC melting furnace in the energy saving and emission reduction performance is excellent, pollutant emissions have been significantly reduced, for sustainable development has contributed to a force.

Reviewing the development history of DC melting furnace, we can't help but marvel at the hard work and crystallized wisdom of the researchers and engineers. From the germ of the initial concept, to the continuous improvement and optimization of technology, every step of their sweat and wisdom. For example, when developing a DC melting furnace, an enterprise has successfully optimized the electrical parameters and furnace materials and structure after many tests and improvements, so that the furnace body can better withstand extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, and at the same time, the performance of the electrodes and other key components has also been greatly improved.
