Temperature Control in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)

Temperature Control in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)

Decrease Maintenance Costs and Improve Temperature Control

The water temperature of furnace-cooling panels must be controlled in order to prevent runaway temperatures and panel failures. Water-cooled burners are monitored to control energy to the burner to help prevent burner failures. Alarms are processed through PLCs and controlled through SmartArc™ transformer regulation and burner control. Vibration, moisture, and heat can cause wired connection failures, which leads to large measurement errors and results in safety risks and shutdowns. Wireless temperature transmitters, such as the Rosemount™ 648 and Rosemount 848T Wireless Temperature Transmitters, eliminate 100% of the cable and conduit, thus eliminating cable and conduit damage. This leads to reduced maintenance costs, better temperature control, and shorter batch times.
