A burner and/or injector panel apparatus includes a flange rotatable within a cylindrical aperture in a horizontal plate and securely retainable between one or more retaining clips and the plate. Extending downward from the flange is a main body with a cylindrical chamber. A burner, burner/injector, or injector is contained within the cylindrical chamber. The main body has a helical cooling circuit extending around the cylindrical chamber and burner and/or injector. The burner and/or injector panel apparatus may be installed through a furnace wall, especially an electric arc furnace, more particularly, a balcony panel of a sump area of an electric arc furnace. The burner and/or injector panel apparatus may be tilted from horizontal or rotated around its vertical axis in order to better target a target area of a molten bath of metal with a flame, jet of oxygen, or stream of carbon particles.

Burner and/or injector panel apparatus, methods of installation and use of the same in a metal-melting furnace, and metal-melting furnace including the same

A burner and/or injector panel includes at least two cooling circuits that may be connected in series with a flexible hose or rigid pipe connected to the circuits behind a rear face of the panel or connected in parallel to a source of cooling water by independently connecting each cooling circuit to the cooling water source without connecting the flexible hose or rigid pipe.

Water-cooled burner and/or injector panel kits, water-cooled burner and/or injector panel apparatus, and methods of using the same

The present invention generally relates to apparatuses and methods for use in metal melting, refining and/or other processing, such as, for example, steel making in an electric arc furnace (EAF), and more particularly, to improved burner panels and related methods for the introduction of various energy sources, such as, for example, chemical energy and particulates.

Methods of implementing a water-cooling system into a burner panel and related apparatuses

The present invention generally relates to apparatuses and methods for use in metal melting, refining and/or other processing, such as, for example, steel making in an electric arc furnace (EAF), and more particularly, to improved cooling systems and related methods for use in an extended burner panel.
