Exhaust device to suck in the fumes in an electric arc furnace (11) fed either by direct or alternating current, the furnace (11) comprising a crown (20) with at least one aperture (19) to introduce and position the electrodes (12) associated with a cupola, in a vertically raised position, which surrounds the electrodes (12) partially in a vertical direction, the cupola being smaller in diameter than the crown (20), there being included a fourth hole connected to the discharge pipe for the fumes (14), the cupola being in a vertically raised position and the discharge pipe for the fumes governed by means to suck in the fumes, the cupola functioning as a decantation chamber (13) substantially cylindrical in shape, the cupola functioning as a decantation chamber (13) including at its upper part a conduit (15) to discharge the fumes projecting tangentially and connecting the cupola functioning as a decantation chamber (13) to the discharge pipe (14), placed at the side of the cupola (13). Method to suck in fumes for an electric arc furnace fed either by alternating or direct current, where the furnace includes a fourth hole connected to a discharge pipe (14) for the fumes associated with a plant with means to suck in the fumes, the stream of fumes sucked in being divided, before entering into the main discharge pipe (14), into two currents, of which the first surrounds the upper electrodes (12) and rises above the crown (20) of the furnace inside the cupola functioning as a decantation chamber (13), the current being induced to rise with a spiral development, and the second current passing directly from the fourth hole into the discharge pipe (14). <IMAGE> |
