INTENSIFICATION OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN INDUCTION CHANNEL FURNACES

Abstract

On the basis of the formulated mathematical model the thermal state of a two-phase (two-channel) induction furnace for melting cast iron with channels of standard and new configuration (shape) taking into account thermal convection is investigated. The influence of the phase angle between the voltages supplying the furnace inductors on the overheating of the metal in the channels is determined. Practical recommendations for reducing this overheating are presented, which allows to reduce energy losses, i.e. to increase the efficiency of furnaces and increase their service life.
