FURNACE GAS INJECTOR WITH BENT AND INCLINED GAS PASSAGE

摘要

A furnace comprises a space overlying a charge into which space opens at least one oxygenated gas injector passing through the periphery of the furnace to deliver within this space a jet of gas that is nonradial relative to a vertical axis of the space. Each injector comprises a) a head (14) disposed within the thickness of the wall (1) of the furnace and having a gas passage having an axis (11) inclined at a predetermined angle ( alpha ) to an axis (15) that is substantially radial relative to the vertical axis of the space overlying the charge and b) a substantially cylindrical body (16) prolonging the head and the gas passage within the furnace along this substantially radial axis (15), itself substantially perpendicular to the wall (1) through which it passes. The injector is useful in an electric furnace for melting scrap for the production of steel.
