Abstract

Les fours électriques de réduction, qui peuvent être utilisés dans des processus à ferro-alliages et des processus à métaux non ferreux à des fins expérimentales et sous une forme simplifiée comme fours à arc submergé industriels, requièrent comme les fours de plus grande taille une ingénierie complète, le coût des travaux d'ingénierie n'étant pas proportionnel au poids étant donné qu'il ne diminue pas avec la taille du four, mais s'apparente dans une large mesure à un 'coût fixe'. Par ailleurs, les modifications apportées aux fours existants, de grande ou de petite taille, ont un coût élevé. Les fours déjà construits ne peuvent être que difficilement adaptés ou modifiés sur le plan mécanique. L'objectif de l'invention est de concevoir un four de réduction flexible de taille réduite permettant de fournir des fours de réduction qui présentent un faible coût de conception et s'adaptent néanmoins spécifiquement à des processus pour le domaine expérimental et sous forme simplifiée pour une utilisation industrielle correspondante. À cet effet, le four électrique de réduction (1) selon l'invention est conçu de manière entièrement démontable à partir de modules interchangeables sans structure métallique soudée et les dimensions et la structure de ce four électrique de réduction (1) peuvent être modifiées individuellement en ce qui concerne la carcasse du four (2), les parois latérales (3), le fond (4), le plafond (5) et la disposition des électrodes (6) au moyen de modules individuels et/ou multiples de dimensions différentes et de matériaux différents.
