Abstract
A roof assembly for an electric arc furnace formed by a series of water cooled panels supportingly arranged between the water conveying outer ring and a water conveying center ring encircling the electrode-refractory area. One or more of these panels are constructed of a copper face sheet brazed to a steel backing sheet having groups of several machined traverse passageways, and are located in critical areas in the roof. Communicating with each group of passageways is a water entry header and a water discharge header. The outer ring acts as both a water source and drainage for the panels and center ring. The panels are suspended from a self-supporting spider web structure which carries the center ring and is supported by the outer ring.
