Abstract

The furnace vessel for a DC arc furnace has a thermostable wall which preferably consists, in the region situated above the slag line (S), of a plurality of water-cooled wall segments (1) made from steel. These wall segments are fastened to a support structure (13-18). At least one of the wall segments (3) consists of nonmagnetic steel or copper and is preferably arranged on the side of the furnace vessel (5) opposite the power supply device (7). In this way, the influence of the high-current lines which extend below or beside the furnace vessel and cause a deflection of the arc can be compensated. The effect of this nonmagnetic wall segment can be partially or virtually entirely cancelled by a trimming plate (19) which is detachably fastened from the outside to the nonmagnetic wall segment (3), in order in this way to achieve optimum trimming of the deflection of the arc.

Description

Direct current electric arc furnace
The invention relates to the direct current electric arc furnace with heat-resisting furnace wall and steel stove outer covering and hearth electrode and consumable electrode, above-mentioned electrode is by being powered by big current feed line at the power-supply device in the body of heater outside.
By undated Fa.ABB Process Automation Ltd, CH-5401 Baden/Switgerland " Arc Furnaces ", company's file, particularly the 9th page of left figure in top discloses this class body of heater.
The metal molten stove all is steel constructions usually, for the high temperature in the reaistance furnace, is provided with the furnace lining that refractory material constitutes in the melting range.Stove outer covering is made up of water-cooled wall section (also claiming coldplate) on fusion zone (slag line), makes desired part avoid the infringement of heat effect.
Disclose this metalloid melting furnace in company's file " Arc Furnaces " of aforementioned list or DE-2745622 C2, the above zone of the slag line of furnace wall is made of coldplate, and this coldplate is made of steel pipe.In the stove in company's file, above-mentioned pipe each other from a distance, and the distance between the pipe is filled with bonding jumper, in the stove in DE-2745622C2, wallboard is to be made of the cooling worm that the side sky that nestles up arrangement is opened.In the middle of these two examples, they are all fixed against a supporting walls that constitutes as wooden partition or skeleton.
Shown at new high power DC electric arc furnaces itself, electric arc is more or less to side deflection, and such deflection is owing to the magnetic field that is subjected to around high-current conductor is caused, and has the very strong loss furnace wall and the consequence of bell.Asymmetric Energy distribution in stove has caused additional energy loss.
Up to the present, adopt two kinds of countermeasures to overcome the lateral deflection of electric arc substantially:
-electrode (EP-0 158 937 B1) is set prejudicially deviating from the direction of deflection;
-on a higher plane, big current feed line is set around table, only just guide line (EP-0518070A1) from power supply downwards than the distally to hearth electrode at body of heater.
For these two measures, all can prove the effect of influential arc deflection.In fact being provided with of the off-centre of Shi Xianing is not sufficient to prove itself, can eliminate deflection reliably fully, in contrast, there is purpose that the measure that big current feed line can prove abundant effect is set, but it also has shortcoming, the effect of this measure itself is difficult to be determined in advance, because all must take at other all things of stove with when being in the magnetic part of laying the place and their magnetic saturation degree in calculating.
Practice shows, big current feed line is set specially might causes the danger excessive to deflection correction: seek may cause deflection round about to the compensation of arc deflection, this problem that can only cause getting in touch with deflection moves on to an other zone of furnace interior.
Though people recomputate big current feed wire system considering such danger, change structure or reconstruction, yet can not guarantee deflection is removed subsequently, for this, reconstruct not only costliness but also time-consuming of big current feed wire system.And stove must be out of service in the regular hour.If can find a solution to specific heat size and electrode current by this way, but this solution is not certain being suitable for for the power of another heat size and/or stove.
Task of the present invention is, a kind of technical scheme of direct current electric arc furnace is provided, and this scheme can realize the balance of deflection correction, do not closing stove or do not reconstructing under the situation of stove and just can realize, and all applicable to all heat sizes and power.
According to the present invention, this task is solved by following measure, and promptly the furnace wall part of stove outer covering is to be made of nonmagnetic substance, particularly nonmagnetic steel or copper at least, and the part of this furnace body wall preferably is arranged on the relative side with power supply of stove.
The present invention has at first realized the advantageous structure of stove, and the scope of this stove more than slag line is made up of a large amount of water-cooled wall section of steel, and this wall section is fixed by supporting structure.
The present invention is based on following knowledge:
The DC current that flows by electrode produces magnetic field around electrode.At the electrode of endless with do not have magnetic element ideally
B=μ oIn the I/2 π r formula, B=is the magnetic field of unit with the tesla, and I is to be the electric current that passes through electrode of unit with the ampere, and r is the distance with the distance electrode longitudinal axis of rice calculating, μ oBe a constant (4 π 10 -7).In practice, electrode length is limited, and this has caused the minimizing in magnetic field.Magnetic element in the non-magnetic field of electrode, just the furnace wall has caused the distribution of calculating magnetic field simply.Particularly the influence of the big current feed line of putting in the stove underneath in action.
By those replacements one or more (common) magnetic wall section by nonmagnetic substance, so just being created in the magnetomotive of these sections concentrates, by like this by electric current flow through magnetic field that electrode produces around distribution can be represented the magnetic force line cutting electric arc in window magnetic field in the electrode scope by an additional magnetic field (window magnetic field).Produce a power that affacts on the electric arc like this, this power is pointed to the direction that deviates from non magnetic wall section.By this way, below body of heater or extend on the next door and can be corrected further from the influence that power-supply device is guided the big current feed line of hearth electrode into.
Because the single wall section that is made of nonmagnetic substance of having built may form the overcompensation of deflection, further formation of the present invention is, the compensating action of the influence in window magnetic field is weakened by following way, hidden even nonmagnetic wall section partly can be used on its outside balance plate of being made by magnetic material that uses at the most.This balance plate can directly be placed on the non magnetic wall section with inappreciable distance, in this way " normally " wallboard overlaid that this balance plate can be contiguous with one or polylith.This balance plate also can with the placement of nonmagnetic wall Duan Youyi segment distance, for example in the outside of the supporting structure of wall section, this balance plate also can be divided into the part that maybe can build that can assemble simply.A particularly advantageous remodeling can be, balance plate constitutes them by two parts and can move each other, this two and half plate is approximate more or less, or two half plate portion ground can be moved and cross adjacent " common " wall section, use such method that the surface area of effective balance plate is changed simply.The possibility of an other variation is, changes the distance between balance plate and the non magnetic wall section.If balance plate moves away from body of heater to the outside, the compensating action of deflection is as by force.Balance plate moves inward compensating action is died down, if non magnetic wall section fully and is not covered by a balance plate to distance, balancing force can be reduced to zero.
Because this generic operation do not need blowing out just can carry out, the operation that has therefore realized being observed by operating personnel stove for the first time is the deflection of electric arc and the deflection that wear-resistant measure changes balance electric arc into, till reaching desirable arc deflection and compensating.When using the polylith balance plate, such operation in addition simply mode realized with remote control.
In practice, people can further develop, and people can produce overcompensation by non magnetic wall section intentionally when beginning, so as to reaching the Distribution of Magnetic Field that can reach a best by said balance plate.
Further advantage of the present invention is, any have a stove segmentation and upper of furnace body structure that be equipped with non magnetic wallboard and bascule and all can ressemble because the latter with new wall section of packing into again common apparatus become a unit.
Inventive embodiment and can reach further advantage thus and will be described in detail by means of accompanying drawing.
