A device () for drying and/or preheating metallic and/or non-metallic materials, preferably scrap, comprises a receiving container () and a scrap basket () which is arranged in the receiving container () and has a gas-permeable bottom area (). The receiving container () has at least one process gas inlet line () in its wall (), via which a process gas with a temperature in the range from 200 to 1600° C. can be introduced into the receiving container (), and at least an injector nozzle () arranged coaxially within the at least one process gas inlet line () via which a cooling gas can be introduced into the process gas.

Scrap dryer and/or scrap preheater

An improved apparatus for producing steel, including a lower furnace, an annular, water-cooled, fireproof lined cylindrical upper furnace, on which an upwardly closing conically tapering hat having openings can be placed. The smelting assembly is configured for the operational mode without melt flow and the operational mode with melt flow. To this end, at least one opening is provided in the conical furnace cover, through which opening at least one top lance can be introduced into the upper furnace. A plurality of sidewall injectors radially rotate around the cylindrical upper furnace in such a way that in a working position, the top lance and the sidewall injectors are directed onto a smelt level of a molten mass located in the lower furnace for refining.

Smelting assembly for the production of steel

The invention relates to a device and to a method for sensing a conveying rate at which liquid material is filled into a metallurgical target vessel () from a pivotable starting vessel (). For this purpose, means for determining an amount of liquid material with which the initial vessel () has been filled and means for sensing an amount of the liquid material which is discharged toward the target vessel () or filled into the target vessel () by pivoting of the starting vessel () are provided.

Device and method for sensing a conveying rate of a liquid material

The aim of the invention is to improve the cooling of the bottom electrodes ( ) of metallurgical melting vessels. To this end, a cooling plate ( ) is situated beneath the support plate ( ) on which the contact elements ( ) are supported. The cooling plate is set apart from the support plate. This forms a cooling chamber ( ) through which a cooling medium flows, the cooling effect of said medium being reinforced by cooling ribs ( ). Said cooling ribs are situated in the cooling chamber ( ) and are welded to the support plate ( ) and preferably, also to the cooling plate ( ).

Melting vessels provided with a cooled bottom electrode

The aim of the invention is to provide a means of also cooling the lower part of electric arc furnaces and/or resistance furnaces. To this end, said lower part&mdash;the actual melting vessel ( )&mdash;is surrounded with a jacket ( ) at a certain distance, forming a shell, and the resulting intermediate space is configured as a cooling device ( ) and subjected to the action of a cooling medium ( ).

Method and device for operating electric arc furnaces and/or resistance furnaces

The invention relates to the emptying of melting vessels ( ) by tipping. According to the invention, the melting vessel ( ) is placed on column-shaped bases ( ). During the tipping process, the melting vessel ( ) is raised at the side and the base supports ( ) of the opposite side are used as the pivot or axis of rotation. This ensures that the discharge opening ( ) and the slag overflow edge ( ) are not moved very far from their original position.
