New cooling panels for reduction of heat losses in EAF steel-making

Obiettivo

Water-cooled panels currently used in the EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) for upper side-wall and roof linings show several drawbacks. The objective of the present project is to develop new water-cooled panels for both the upper side-wall and the roof that allow reducing heat losses (and thus the overall energy consumption in EAF steel-making) and increasing panels service life. The basic idea is to hang relatively small refractory parts on the water-cooled panels. These refractory parts will first act as slag holders with improved retaining capacity. Moreover, the refractory parts will stand heat and protect steel panels in case of slag removal. Such refractory parts should thus greatly lower thermal losses, thermal stress in the panels and maintenance work.
