ROOF FOR ARC FURNACE

摘要

A roof assembly for an arc furnace is disclosed in which a furnace roof ring and a plurality of roof unit are assembled together to define a roof section frustoconical in cross section and with a roof top opening, and a roof top made of an electrically insulating refractory and provided with electrode holes is closely fitted into the roof top opening. Each sectionalized roof unit comprises a main body cast from cast iron or copper, and a cooling coil embedded in the main body with end sections being extended out of the upper major upper surface of the main body so as to be used as a cooling water inlet and an outlet. In order to ensure the satisfactory high-temperature strength and thermal-shock resistance, the inner major surface of the main body directed toward the inside of the furnace is partially lined with the refractory or corrugated.
