ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A furnace for molten metal comprises a refractory bath to hold metal surrounding a heater which consists of a cup-shaped refractory vessel which stands in the bath and receives a high-velocity stream of hot gas directed into the mouth of the vessel from a fuel burner.
DESCRIPTION This invention relates to furnaces and provides a furnace suitable for melting metal and holding molten metal ready for use, such as in diecasting.
It is known to provide such a furnace consisting of a thermally insulated bath, to hold the molten metal, into which extends an immersion heater which may be an electrical heater or a conduit for flame from a fuel such as gas and air.
According to the present invention, a furnace comprises a refractory bath, to hold molten metal up to a given level, a heat-conductive refractory vessel supported in the bath in an upright position and spaced inwardly from the wall of the bath, so that molten metal can surround the vessel in the bath, said vessel having an upwardly directed mouth above the given metal level, and a fuel burner for producing a high-velocity stream of hot gas directed downwardly into the mouth of the vessel, the inner surface of the vessel forming a reversing baflle, for downward impingement and reverse flow upward of the steam of hot gas, and the vessel having an outlet for hot gas above the given metal level.
It is an important feature of the invention that a stream of hot gas, as distinct from flame, is used to heat the refractory vessel. The hottest part of a flame from a simple burner is at some point within the boundaries of the flame which therefore has a diminishing temperature gradient towards the outside. It is however possible to produce from a suitable burner, a high-velocity stream of hot gas more uniform in temperature than a flame and which can therefore, more efficiently than a flame, uniformly heat to a high temperature a body having a surface swept by the hot gas stream and particularly a vessel of which the inside surface forms a reversing baffle for the hot gas stream.
A gas-air burner suitable for producing a high velocity stream of hot gas is described in United Kingdom Pat. Specification No. 1,100,156 and such a burner is preferred for use with the present invention.
An open-mouthed refractory vessel suitable for use with the invention may be similar to, or actually consist of, a cup-shaped crucible such as is well known for holding molten metal in foundry work and which is made of a refractory material of high thermal conductivity, such as clay-graphite.
The invention is illustrated, by way of example, on the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through a furnace,
FIG. 2 is a cross section on the line 11-11 of FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is a cross section similar to FIG. 2 but showing a modification.
The furnace illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a bath consisting of a casing 1, which may be of metal or brickwork, having an intermediate lining 2, of a refractory, thermally insulating material such as diatomaceous brick, and an inner lining 3, of a refractory material resistant to molten metal such as a cast refractory.
As shown by FIG. 1, the bath has a sloping end forming an inlet 4 through which are fed billets 5 of metal to be melted, a flap 6 being provided to close the inlet.
The top of the bath is closed, except for a ladling opening 7 and a flue 8, by a cover 9 having intermediate and inner linings l0 and 11 of materials similar to those of the linings 2 and 3. An inverted weir 12 depends into the bath from the cover lining 11 down to below a normal molten metal level X--X so as to close off the ladling opening 7 from the space above the metal level from which hot gases can exhaust through the flue 8. A part 9A of the cover is hinged to form an inspection door.
Above the center of the bath, the inner lining ll of the cover embodies a downwardly directed nozzle 13 for a high-velocity stream of hot gas, from a high-pressure gas-air burner 14 mounted in the cover 9, to enter a claygraphite, cup-shaped refractory vessel 15 mounted on a plinth 16 on the bottom of the bath.
The vessel 15 is of such size that it has a surrounding clearance from the wall of the bath, to provide space for molten metal, and the mouth of the vessel 15 opens above the metal level and with an annular clearance around the nozzle 13.
The burner 14 is fed, through pipes 17, with air and gas under pressure so as to produce a high-velocity stream of very hot gas which impinges centrally at the base of the inner surface of the vessel 15 and is reversed, by the bafile effect of such surface, to sweep upwardly over the surface and exhaust around the nozzle 13, over the surface of the metal in the bath and out through the flue 8.
The clay-graphite vessel 15, having a high thermal conductivity, becomes heated by the hot gas and transmits heat to the surrounding metal in the bath, the transfer of heat taking place very efliciently through conduction and convection from the center outwards.
FIG. 3 shows a modified construction in which the rim of the vessel 15 enters a groove 18 around the nozzle 13, which closes the mouth of the vessel 15, and a ring of outlet ports 19 for the hot gas is provided through the rim of the vessel 15. This arrangement enables the maximum rate of exhaust of hot gas from the vessel 15, and thus the heat transfer time, to be selected to conform to a designed optimum.
For convenience, the portion of the vessel 15 above the liquid level may be referred to as the upper part of the vessel and the portion of the vessel below the liquid level may be referred to as the lower part of the vessel.
