The invention relates to the technical field of metal smelting, in particular to an immersion type furnace heating system. According to the system, a heating unit is immersed to a heating object to heat directly so as to prevent oxidation, efficient heating can be achieved, a whole heating module is in a floating state and not prone to being damaged in an expansion and contraction process, and themaintenance is simple and convenient. A floating island is floated on metal liquid by utilizing the buoyancy of the metal liquid, the floating island is in a floating state and not prone to being damaged in the expansion and contraction process, and the maintenance is simple and convenient. Isolation walls are arranged on two sides of the floating island, the floating island can be effectively prevented from incline or turnover, high temperature resistance soft layers are arranged between the floating island and the isolation walls, an air heat insulation layer is arranged on the upper part of the floating island, so that the floating island and the metal liquid and high temperature located at the lower end can be blocked to transfer a great deal of heat to the upper part of the floatingisland, the atmosphere between the floating island and the metal liquid belongs to an anaerobic atmosphere, meanwhile protective air can be fed, a protective air layer is formed above the metal liquid, and the metal liquid is effectively prevented from oxidation.
