Industrial furnaces with mechanical hearth platform. Layout solutions

Abstract

The purpose of the article is development and analysis of design layouts of industrial electric furnaces of various capacities based on a standard size range of unified modular units. The paper considers the method of design layout of various versions of industrial electric furnaces intended for heat treatment of bulk materials. As a result of the work carried out on the basis of the previously developed standard size range of electric modular units the design layouts of electric industrial furnaces with a mechanical hearth platform have been obtained. The work takes into account the experimental data previously received in the study of the physical model of the furnace unit. When it is required to increase the performance the furnaces with longitudinal and vertical layouts can be mounted according to the flap layout with the application of modular units of the third size. The furnaces ensure the productive capacity of 13.5 m³/h at the specific energy intensity (by vermiculite) of 48...52 MJ/m³.
