Product Description

New Energy-saving DC Electric Arc Furnace

1. Basic Equipment Structure

The new energy-saving DC electric arc furnace consists of seven core modules: furnace body, IGBT/thyristor rectifier power supply system, top graphite electrode, bottom conductive anode, water cooling system, hydraulic tilting mechanism and PLC intelligent control system.
  1. Electrode Configuration: The mainstream design adopts single top graphite electrode plus furnace bottom anode; the updated dual-electrode design without bottom anode effectively avoids furnace bottom burn-through. Compared with 3-electrode layout of AC furnaces, the electrode auxiliary structure is greatly simplified.
  2. Power Supply Upgrade: The latest generation is equipped with IGBT flexible rectifier power supply, an upgraded version of traditional thyristor power supply. It realizes full-digital closed-loop regulation, stepless voltage & current adjustment and online polarity switching without shutdown, supporting both submerged-arc and open-arc smelting modes for dual-purpose of arc furnace and submerged arc furnace.
  3. Intelligent Automatic Control: The PLC system enables one-key switching among constant power / constant current / constant voltage smelting modes. Soft start prevents power grid impact, with full protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, phase loss and overtemperature.

2. Core Energy-saving Technical Indicators (vs. Conventional 3-phase AC EAF)

Items Energy-saving Index Technical Description
Power Consumption 10%~15% electricity saving No alternating eddy current loss; power factor reaches 0.95~0.98 (0.7~0.9 for AC furnace requiring extra reactive power compensation), no extra power loss from arc extinction at zero-crossing current
Graphite Electrode Consumption 30%~50% consumption reduction Free of alternating current skin effect; concentrated arc avoids furnace wall sweeping; side oxidation accounts for over 44% of total electrode loss on AC furnaces
Refractory Lining Service life extended over 30% DC arc deflection only 12° versus 45° of AC arc; arc rarely scours furnace lining with no local overheating hot spots
Production Efficiency Tap-to-tap cycle shortened by 8%~12% Self-generated electromagnetic stirring homogenizes molten steel temperature and composition for faster tapping; advanced furnaces achieve power consumption as low as 300kWh per ton of molten steel
Noise & Power Quality Noise reduced by 10~20dB; harmonic & flicker cut in half Balanced three-phase input minimizes grid disturbance and eliminates demand for large-capacity filter devices

3. Fundamental Energy-saving Mechanism

  1. Reduced Circuit Loss: Alternating current induces alternating magnetic field and eddy heat loss; constant DC magnetic field eliminates eddy heating on short-net cables to cut invalid power waste.
  2. Stable Arc Combustion: DC current has no zero-cross point, maintaining continuous arc without intermittent extinction to improve thermal efficiency via concentrated directional heat input.
  3. Built-in Electromagnetic Stirring: DC current forms fixed-direction magnetic field to drive circulating molten bath, eliminating extra power-consuming external electromagnetic stirring equipment and accelerating raw material melting.
  4. Flexible Power Regulation: Modular IGBT rectifier outputs precise power on demand; intelligent current limiting during scrap collapse and impact-free arc reignition prevent instantaneous peak power waste.

4. Applicable Smelting Materials

  1. Ferrous Metallurgy: Scrap steel melting for carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, bearing steel, die steel and pig iron production; short-process EAF steelmaking cuts around 1.6 tons of CO₂ emission per ton of scrap processed.
  2. Ferroalloy & Non-ferrous Metallurgy: Production of ferrosilicon, ferrochrome, ferromanganese, calcium aluminate, red mud-based iron smelting and precious metal refining.
  3. Solid Waste Recycling: Melting treatment of fly ash, metallurgical slag and hazardous solid waste for resource recovery, realizing multi-purpose single equipment.

5. New-generation Technical Advantages

  1. Reversible Polarity Technology: Real-time anode-cathode switching during smelting evens out furnace temperature distribution to eliminate overheating or cold zones, further lowering power consumption and improving finished product yield.
  2. Integrated Scrap Preheating System: Flue gas waste heat recovers to preheat incoming scrap, saving another 20~35kWh power per ton of steel.
  3. Digital Smelting Control: Real-time collection of arc voltage, arc current and furnace temperature data; AI self-adaptive power curve optimizes energy consumption to comply with low-carbon steelmaking policies.

6. Application Advantages & Industry Trend

  • Capital & O&M Cost: Lower investment on matching electrodes, short-net cables and reactive power compensation facilities; comprehensive operating cost 18%~25% less than conventional AC furnaces.
  • Policy Compliance: Short-process EAF steelmaking is core route for domestic low-carbon steel transformation; energy-saving DC furnaces are prioritized for scrap recycling and dual-carbon compliant projects in special steel & renewable metallurgy sectors.
  • Full Size Range: Complete product lineup from 0.5t lab-scale furnace, 5t/10t/20t industrial furnace up to hundred-ton large-scale steelmaking furnace.
