Abstract:
The present invention is to provide an energy-saving cooker comprises an outer pot (1), a heating element (2) in the outer pot, an inner pot (3) is able to position into the outer pot (1), a thermal storage block (4) inside a bottom of the inner pot (3). The thermal storage block (4) and heating element (2) are disposed between inner and outer pot. There are two embodiments to heat up foods by inner pot (3). A heating element (2) inside the outer pot (1) can heat up inner pot (3) and thermal storage block (4) directly. An inner pot (3) and thermal storage (4) heated up by external heat source and then moved and placed into outer pot (1) inside.
Abstract:
Screens for limiting heat losses from heated material, e.g. bars and slabs in rolling mills. Screens are provided in the form of strings of heat insulating bodies composed of metal shells containing insulating material. These screens may form curtains and/or covers for the hot material. Containing chambers for the hot material may be provided with such strings of elements and the chambers may also comprise structure for limiting heat conduction losses through the material supports therein. The screens may be collapsed over the hot material thereby completely surrounding and insulating the material from loss of heat. A displaceable chamber installation may also be provided for limiting heat loss when holding and transferring hot material between processing stages.
Abstract:
A method of accelerating radiative transfer is characterized in that a radiation acceleration plate is interposed between heat absorption pipe trains or planes disposed opposite to each other and heated by radiation of gases having a high temperature in a radiation portion of a furnace so that the pipes or planes are heated by radiation of the acceleration plate and radiation of the gases.
Abstract:
In a support construction for a hot blast main which is connected by respective branches to the outlets of a plurality of hot blast stoves of a blast furnace, the main is suspended on each stove by means of a rod system secured to a stiffened transitional region between the wall and dome of the stove and having an outer end located above the main. The main is suspended from this outer end, to which at least one strut extends from the stove wall adjacent the hot blast outlet. A travelling crane track is secured to the lower side of the rod systems so as to extend above valves incorporated in the hot blast branches. Thus these valves can easily be removed and replaced.
Abstract:
Either sulphur-containing raw materials or sulphur-containing fuels may be used in the calcination of mineral raw materials in a calcining furnace, with significant desulphurization of the calcined material being achieved if, on the one hand, cooling air introduced into the cooling zone of the furnace is removed at the upper end of the cooling zone thereof through exhaust ducts and if, on the other hand, the flue gases are free of oxygen and have a carbon monoxide content of 1 to 5% by volume. In order to obtain this composition of the flue gases, the combustion process can either be performed in the calcining zone of the calcining shaft of the furnace with a deficiency of air or a gaseous, liquid or solid fuel can be supplied by means of fuel tubes located at a transfer duct between the furnace shafts.
Abstract:
A metal heating apparatus including a plurality of flattened U-shaped in section metal desk plates positioned in longitudinally overlapped relation to form a metal conveyor and an article receiving unit, a plurality of metal support plates or saddles below the deck plates and having complementary recessed upper surfaces contoured to receive and receiving the deck plates therein; bolt anchor means are positioned on the lower surfaces of the deck plates, and offset support means are secured to the saddle plates whereby bolt means can be attached to the support means and extend to and be secured to the bolt anchor means for anchoring the deck plates to the support means, but to permit some relative movement therebetween upon changes in heating and cooling conditions.
Abstract:
A partition of high thermal conductivity is provided to separate a furnace heating zone from a furnace reaction zone, the reaction zone being at least partially heated by radiant heat from the heating zone. In a preferred embodiment, the partition means comprises a plurality of individual panels which are arranged in horizontally extending rows across the furnace. A ceramic seal plate is secured over the longitudinal interface between the adjacent panels in the same horizontal row. The seal plates in one horizontal row which extend across the width of the furnace are slightly offset from the seal plates in adjacent rows to compensate for thermal expansion forces which may tend to move the panels and sealed expansion spaces are provided between adjacent panels in the width-wise and longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A reciprocable soot blower that is adapted to extend laterally through an outer wall to remove deposits of slag that collect on the walls of a pressurized furnace, gasifier or other reactor. The soot blower is telescopically mounted in a conduit attached to an outside wall of the furnace to permit its complete withdrawal from the furnace when not in use. A steam seal is adapted to be activated in the conduit when the soot blower is extended to increase pressure in the conduit to thus prevent entry of foreign material from said furnace into the space between the conduit and the soot blower.
Abstract:
A continuous heating furnace having a heating chamber for the passage therethrough of a metal ingot heated predominantly by radiant heat from the walls of the furnace and comprising a plurality of screening shield arranged adjacent the conveying path of the ingots at the ends thereof for forming niches to reduce the size of the heating chamber in the region of the ends of the ingots. The screening shields are mounted in the furnace in front of the furnace walls by mechanisms for adjusting the position of the shields to adjust the spacing with the ingot.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an improved apparatus for removing fallen slag from beneath a flame cutting table. A three-sided scoop is positioned below the table. Co-acting guide members are mounted along the sides of the scoop and the table. Chains are fastened to each side of the scoop and extend around vertically positioned sprockets at opposite ends of the table. The chain is located below a portion of the table guide member for protection from falling slag and heat. A motor engages the sprockets to drag the scoop from one end of the table to the other. A tube fastened to the table is positioned for carrying the returning chain.
