A roll-transport device including: a roll that comes into contact with the base material; a support shaft that rotatably supports the roll; and a bearing that is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the support shaft and has an end surface on one side in an axial direction, which faces an inside of a furnace, and an end surface on the other side in the axial direction, which is positioned on a side of an inner portion (space surrounded by the roll). A purge gas is caused to circulate from the end surface on the other side toward the end surface on the one side of the bearing, and the purge gas is discharged into the furnace from the end surface on the one side of the bearing.

A system for adding molten lithium and inert gas in a molten aluminium or aluminium alloy melt including, a crucible defining a chamber for melting and storing molten metal, in particular molten lithium; the crucible having a sealed lid; an inert gas delivery system for maintaining chamber overpressure using inert gas; a conduit for withdrawing a portion of the molten metal from the crucible. The conduit arranged with respect to the crucible or the sealed lid so the conduit inlet can be moved below and above the molten metal surface level and arranged for feeding molten metal from the crucible to a separate holding furnace with the help of overpressure when the conduit inlet is below the molten metal surface level and arranged for feeding inert gas from the crucible to the separate holding furnace when the conduit inlet is above the molten metal surface level.

Processes and apparatuses for relocating a reforming process heater service into the convection section rely on combining a flue gas recycle quench stream with the radiant section off gases entering the convection section. The uniformity of mixing influences the effectiveness of that quench stream. The more effective the quench stream is, the lower the equipment size required to manage the recycle design.

Provided is a resin curing device capable of improving work efficiency when curing a liquid resin. A controller (2) of a resin curing device (1) controls opening degrees of three valves (51 to 53) so that a gas flow passage becomes a circulation passage (40) when an execution condition of an operation of feeding air to a curing furnace (10) is satisfied, and controls the opening degrees of the three valves (51 to 53) so that the gas flow passage becomes a bypass passage (41) when the execution condition is not satisfied (STEPS 30 to 41).

The present disclosure provides a window device for a furnace. The window device may include a frame placed on a sidewall of the furnace; a window placed on the frame; an air inlet placed on the frame; and a plurality of air outlets. The plurality of air outlets may be connected to the air inlet and an interior of the furnace. Each of two of the plurality of air outlets may connect with an air venting pipeline. Tangential directions of two air venting pipelines connected with two air outlets among the plurality of air outlets may form an angle and the angle may be within an angle range.

A method of providing an inerting atmosphere to the surface of molten aluminum in a vortex charge well of a reverberatory melting furnace is provided. The purpose is to improve aluminum recovery (reduce aluminum oxidation melt loss) by displacing the ambient atmosphere above the molten vortex with an inert gas. The method includes introducing a flow of an inerting gas into an inerting region immediately above the surface of the vortex charge well. The inerting gas may be selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, argon, or a mixture thereof. The inerting gas may be introduced into the charge inlet chute, through a diffuser, or a ring manifold. The vortex charge well may include a lid.

An airflow orifice adjusting device of a package thermal-shrinking oven includes at least one airflow orifice board mounted to an inside surface of a hot airflow box of the package thermal-shrinking oven and formed with series of airflow orifices, at least one track board mounted to an outside of the hot airflow box and formed with a plurality of track holes, a plurality of adjusting levers, and a plurality of airflow-blocking adjusting plates mounted to the airflow orifice board and each formed with a plurality of adjusting orifices. Each of the airflow orifices of the airflow orifice board discharges a hot airflow. The adjusting levers each have two ends that are respectively formed as a connecting portion and an operating portion. The connecting portion extends through the track holes of the track board to connect to one end of the airflow-blocking adjusting plate, so that a leftward or rightward horizontal moving operation of the operating portion of the adjusting levers causes the airflow-blocking adjusting plate to correspondingly perform a reversely directed horizontal movement in a rightward or leftward direction. The adjusting orifices of the airflow-blocking adjusting plates respectively correspond to the airflow orifices of the airflow orifice board, so that each of the adjusting orifices may completely or partially match with or completely un-match with a corresponding one of the airflow orifices of the airflow orifice board to adjust a discharging flowrate of the hot airflow and discharging of the hot airflow or not.

A furnace has a melting chamber with a periphery defined by a surrounding wall structure. The furnace is provided with a purge system configured to direct inert gas to flow downward in the melting chamber in the configuration of a curtain that adjoins the wall structure and reaches only partially around the periphery of the melting chamber.

A gas inerting system and method is provided. This system includes a rotary melting furnace with a furnace barrel, a burner, and a charge of metal to be melted; and an injection manifold with a plurality of injection orifices. The burner is configured to produce a flame directed into the furnace barrel, and the plurality of injection orifices are configured to disperse inert gas streams into the furnace barrel, into an inerting region between the burner flame and the charge of aluminum. The metal to be melted may be aluminum. The method of inerting includes rotating the rotary furnace and introducing heat into the furnace barrel by generating the flame, thereby beginning a melt cycle, then introducing the inert gas streams into an inlet to the injection manifold, thereby directing the inert gas streams through the injection orifices and into the inerting region, after a predetermined condition has been met.
