HORIZONTAL CONVERTER

摘要

A horizontal converter comprises a cylindrical body having a mouth arranged on the cylindrical wall thereof for loading materials, pouring out liquid products and release of the process gases, said mouth being arranged symmetrically to the vertical plane of symmetry of the converter. The converter also comprises tuyeres for turning the blast on. The tuyeres are arranged in the cylindrical wall of the converter body in one row along the generatrix of the wall at some distance from the mouth. The tuyeres are tilted to the left and right of the vertical plane of symmetry of the converter. the angle between said plane of symmetry and each vertical plane extending through the axis of each tuyere ranges from 10.degree. to 25.degree..
