Elektromagnetische Ventileinrichtung mit einem Induktor mit Bodenrinne, Mittelrinne und Seitenrinnen zum Regeln der Zirkulation von geschmolzenem Metall oder geschmolzener Legierung in einem Rinnenofen

摘要

Valve means for ladles or furnaces, preferably of channel type, provided with at least one bottom tap hole. This means comprises a magnetic circuit with an "air gap" in the hole and with a flux direction straight across the flow direction in said hole. Current conductors are also arranged to conduct electric current straight across the stream, perpendicular to the flux, and a force is thus produced in the melt in the hole directed upwards or downwards and depending on the law of magnetic force. The invention also includes an embodiment with similar means in a channel type furnace, but used for circulating molten metal in the channels of the furnace.
