[0043] Next, an electric furnace is introduced. The electric furnace includes a return water supply system 13, a furnace body 17, and the above-mentioned gas-water composite spray cooling electric furnace cover.

[0048] The unpressurized high-temperature cooling water discharged from the drain port 701 can enter the return water tank 1302 after passing through the Venturi pump 1301. The Venturi pump 1301 uses the pressurized return water (0.3MPa) as the drainage medium to form a vacuum state in the pipe, and can guide the unpressurized water after spraying into the return water tank 1302. After entering the return water tank 1302, the unpressurized water is pressurized by the return water pump connected to the return water tank 1302, and a small part of it is supplied to the Venturi pump 1301 as a drainage medium, and most of it is returned to the cooling tower 1303 for cooling. The cooled cooling water is then pressurized to 0.3MPa by the water supply pump and re-supplied to the furnace cover for use. Figure 5 shown.
