MELTING FURNACE

摘要

A melting furnace, especially an electric arc melting furnace, comprising a bottom melt vessel having an upper edge and a furnace wall including a cooling box disposed above the melt level in the vessel, over the upper edge and completely around the periphery of the vessel. This cooling box stands at a distance from the upper edge so as to define therebetween a gap of which the form is such as to force water dripping from the cooling box outwardly of the furnace, the gap extending the whole length of the periphery of the vessel.
