The work impeller 420 is installed on the main exhaust line 300 and rotated by the suction pressure generated in the main exhaust line 300. The idling impeller 430 is installed on the circulation exhaust line 410. The idling impeller 430 receives power from the work impeller 420 to generate circulating airflow in the circulating exhaust line 410. Power transmission from the work impeller 420 to the idling impeller 430 is provided by the clutch 440.
이처럼, 배기가스 재순환부(400)는 배기가스의 재순환에 필요한 동력을 메인 배기라인(300)의 흡입압력을 이용함으로써 추가적인 동력 투입 없이 배기가스를 재순환시킬 수 있다. As such, the exhaust gas recirculation unit 400 may recycle the exhaust gas without additional power by using the suction pressure of the main exhaust line 300 as the power required for the exhaust gas recirculation.
클러치 제어부(450)는 배기가스의 온도에 따라 클러치(440)를 제어한다. 즉, 클러치 제어부(450)는 메인 배기라인(300)에 설치된 온도측정수단(452)에서 측정된 배기가스의 온도 측정값을 기반으로 워크 임펠러(420)로부터 아이들링 임펠러(430)로 전달되는 동력을 제어한다. 일 예, 클러치 제어부(450)는 초기 가동시 배기가스의 온도가 낮으면 클러치(440)를 통한 동력 전달을 차단하고, 배기가스의 온도가 기설정 온도 이상으로 상승되면 워크 임펠러(420)로부터 아이들링 임펠러(430)로의 동력 전달이 이루어지도록 클러치(440)를 제어한다. 여기서, 기설정 온도는 스크랩을 예열할 수 있는 정도의 예열 가능 온도(예를 들면 1100℃)일 수 있다.

The clutch 440 is controlled to transmit power to the impeller 430. Here, the preset temperature may be a preheatable temperature (for example, 1100 ° C.) that is sufficient to preheat the scrap.
보조 버너(460)는 순환 배기라인에 설치된다. 좀 더 구체적으로, 보조 버너(460)는 아이들링 임펠러(430)와 스크랩 예열 장입로(200) 사이를 연결하는 순환 배기라인(410) 상에 설치된다. 보조 버너(460)는 스크랩 예열이 배기가스의 현열만으로 부족할 경우 배기가스의 Co, H 등을 연소시켜 화학적 열에너지를 확보하기 위해 제공된다.

제어용 에어 공급라인(470)은 워크 임펠러(420)와 로 본체(100)의 배기포트(140) 사이의 메인 배기라인(300)에 연결된다. 제어용 에어 공급 라인(470)은 로 본체(100)의 배기포트(140)로부터 방출되는 배기가스의 온도 및 압력 변화에 따라 워크 임펠러(420)로 유입되는 배기가스의 온도 및 압력이 일정하게 유지되도록 메인 배기라인(300)에 에어를 추가 공급한다. 추가되는 에어는 상온의 에어 또는 가열된 에어일 수 있다. 도시하지 않았지만, 메인 배기라인(300)의 압력은 댐퍼(미도시됨)를 이용하여 조절할 수 있다. The control air supply line 470 is connected to the main exhaust line 300 between the work impeller 420 and the exhaust port 140 of the furnace body 100. The control air supply line 470 maintains a constant temperature and pressure of the exhaust gas flowing into the work impeller 420 according to a change in the temperature and pressure of the exhaust gas emitted from the exhaust port 140 of the furnace body 100. Air is additionally supplied to the main exhaust line 300. The air added may be room temperature air or heated air.

The electric arc furnace 10 is to add the scrap by opening the door in the state of stopping the operation of the idling impeller 430 at the time of additional scrap input through the scrap preheating charging path (200). That is, since the pressure of the furnace main body 100 becomes negative when the supply of the exhaust gas through the circulation exhaust line 410 is stopped because the operation of the impeller is stopped, the furnace main body 100 is opened even when the door of the scrap preheating charging path 200 is opened. Exhaust gas does not flow to the outside through the opening of the scrap preheating charging path (200).
