A device for heating a fluent material (e.g., gaseous or liquid media, such as air, water, etc.) comprises one or more electrical induction coils arranged around one or more central conduits for the medium to be heated, inside which coils there are arranged rings or spirals of metals which form one or more electrically-closed circuits, possibly after addition of short-circuit parts, which circuits, and possible metallic partition walls at these, are arranged to be inductively heated when the induction coils are electrically energized, heat generated in the heating elements passing to the fluent material flowing through the passageways.

Device for heating fluent material flowing past short-circuited heating

Apparatus for preheating scrap material, e.g. scrap metal, comprises heaters, such as air preheaters, scrap containers and air or gas conduits for conveying heated gas from the heaters to the scrap container(s) and back from the scrap container(s). The apparatus is characterized in that the conduit to the scrap container(s) is provided with valve means for diverting the flow of hot air or gas to the container(s), for example during replacement of container(s).

Scrap material preheating apparatus

A nozzle or gas tuyere for injecting gaseous and/or liquid and/or powdered material into a metallic melt, for example a steel melt. The nozzle is arranged to be mounted in an opening in a wall of a melt container, for example a ladle or furnace. The nozzle comprises a body provided with a through-going channel extending through the wall. The part of the body facing the melt is provided with a stopper which closes the channel against ingress of the melt but which is removable into the melt by the pressure of the material injected into the channel. The channel is also provided with a ball which is insertable into the channel for preventing flow of melt through the nozzle when the stopper is removed into the melt.
