ARC FURNACE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THIS ARC FURNACE

摘要

The invention relates to an arc furnace (1), which can be tilted or remains stationary for tapping the melt or the slag and which comprises an eccentric and/or centric tap (9; 12). The invention also relates to a method for operating an arc furnace (1) of this type. The aim of the invention is to improve an arc furnace with regard to production and to operating characteristics by making structural changes thereto. To this end, the tap (9) is provided inside a separately mounted projection (6) that abuts against a terminating wall (4) of a lower vessel (2). In addition, at least one tapping channel (5) is provided, which connects the furnace trough (2a) and the projection (6) while passing through the terminating wall (4).
