<p>The vessel is intended for use in smelting operations, in which the heat is generated by a central, vertically burning, direct current arc, and in which the region of the furnace wall above the smelt zone has a cooling unit. The furnace has a first cooling unit (8) arranged on the upper edge (7) of the vessel, and a second cooling unit (10) arranged at the level of the slag line (S). The region of the vessel wall (9) which lies between the units, and which faces inwards, consists substantially of heat-resistant material. The first cooling unit may be formed from a ring of cooling pipes (11), which may be closed or divided into segments. The second cooling unit may have the pipes arranged similarly, or they may be set closely under one another with water-tight sealing.</p> |
