Spray-Cooling Technology – Beyond the Roof

While the application of Systems Spray-CooledTM technology on the electric arc furnace (EAF) has been the focus of many publications, the extension of Systems’ expertise beyond the furnace roof is the subject of this paper. Specifically, the fixed and moving elbows connected to the fourth hole of the EAF, the down-coming duct, combustion chamber, and the water-cooled duct portion of the fume treatment plant will be discussed. Continuous improvement and engineering developments in these areas will be reviewed. Steelmakers have come to recognize enhanced safety and environmental performance, improved productivity, reduced maintenance and operating costs.
