Reducing Radiation Heat from Induction Furnace on Lifting Magnet

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on methods to reduce radiation heat affecting lifting electromagnets used in induction furnaces. The original poster inquires about the effectiveness of using aluminum or silver spray to reflect radiation heat or materials that absorb it, aiming to extend the insulation life of the electromagnet. Participants note that the high melting temperatures of ferrous scrap make reflection and absorption problematic, suggesting alternative solutions like inert gas barriers, though these are deemed impractical due to welding issues. The use of a double bottom plate design is mentioned as a potential method to reduce convection heat transfer, though its effectiveness against radiation heat is questioned. The overall goal remains to enhance the durability of the electromagnet's insulation under extreme conditions.

http://lookpic.com/O/i2/73/DYktKEGg.jpeg Hello Dear Friends

We produce Lifting Electromagnet for Steel Scrap charging of Induction furnace, bottom plate of

electromagnet is made of Stainless steel .

my question :

Can We use AL OR SILVER Spray for Spraying bottom plate that Radiation heat is reflected ?
Is this method useful ?

OR Can We use material that absorb radiation heat ?

Our purpose : We need a way that radiation heat , reflect or absorb

by this way , amount of heat transfer by radiation to Lifting Electromagnet is decrease

and Life of Lifting Electromagnet insulation increased.

Thank Youhttp://lookpic.com/O/i2/943/LJEUNM4z.jpeg

Ferrous scrap melting temperature is high enough that "reflection/absorbtion" of radiant energy is "problematic;" can you sell your customers an inert gas "door/portal" through which to charge? There are such things limiting escape/exchange of "heated/cooled" air at entrances to high foot traffic buildings. The object of the exercise is to lengthen the lifetime of electrical insulation for the magnet?

Thank You Dear for your opinion , unfortunately we can't use inert gas , because for Extreme conditions of lifting magnet , welding of bottom plate was cracking .(impacts in high temperature , weight of lifting magnet approximately : 3 to 4 ton) , when crack : inert gas was exited .

For reduce convection heat transfer , We use double bottom plate(similar to Double glazed window) . minimum space between plates is 50 mm . Is it useful for decrease radiation heat ? (I guess is not useful :( )

Yes The object is to lengthen the lifetime of electrical insulation for Lifting magnet

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
