DC submerged arc furnaces, also known as DC electric arc furnaces, is a metallurgical equipment developed on the basis of submerged arc furnace, which is used to reduce and smelt raw materials such as ore.
Compared with traditional AC SAF, DC furnace has many advantages, such as energy saving, low electrode consumption, more uniform temperature field in the furnace, etc.
DC submerged arc electric furnace can achieve better energy utilization during the smelting process, thereby reducing energy consumption. For example, in ferrosilicon smelting, the unit power consumption of DC SAF is lower than that of AC EAF, which can save about 50 kWh/ton.
Due to the optimization of electrode structure and operation mode, the graphite electrode consumption of DC furnace is usually reduced by 30% to 50% compared with AC electric arc furnace.
The heat release form of DC arc is vertical to the center, and the heat distribution is more uniform, which can effectively avoid the problem of uneven temperature in the furnace caused by the anode effect in AC arc furnace.
DC submerged arc furnaces usually use PLC control systems to achieve automatic operation, and can adjust parameters according to the needs of the smelting process, such as constant power, constant current, constant impedance, etc.
The electrode break detection and automatic balancing functions of DC submerged arc furnaces can effectively prevent electrode damage and extend the service life of the equipment.
DC submerged arc furnaces are widely used in the smelting of various metal and non-metallic ores, especially for materials with high melting points and high requirements for temperature field uniformity, such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, etc.
In addition, DC SAF can also be used for reduction smelting of tin-containing materials, which has the advantages of reducing power and electrode consumption and improving smelting efficiency.
In short, in recent years, SAF DC furnace have broad application prospects in the metallurgical industry with their advantages of energy saving, high efficiency and stability, and have gradually replaced traditional AC submerged arc furnaces.
