[0002] Arc melting is an electrothermal metallurgical method that uses electrical energy to generate an electric arc between electrodes or between an electrode and the material being melted to melt metals. The electric arc can be generated by direct current or alternating current. Fused magnesia is an alkaline refractory raw material made by melting natural magnesite, lightly calcined magnesia, or sintered magnesia in an electric arc furnace. After the fused magnesia is melted by arc melting in the furnace, cooling and heat exchange are required to lower the temperature.

[0003] A search revealed that CN209820119U discloses a cooling and heat exchange device for an electric arc melting magnesia furnace, comprising a hollow cast precast component and an induced draft fan. The hollow cast precast component is connected to the inside of the furnace body. A metal anchor is provided inside the hollow cast precast component, with one part located inside and the other part exposed outside. The metal anchor is connected to the furnace body by welding or bolts. The hollow cast precast component has one or more through holes running from top to bottom. The furnace body is connected to the furnace bottom, and the through holes are connected to the induced draft fan via pipelines. This patent has a simple structure, effectively reduces energy loss in the metal furnace body, is safe and energy-saving, improves energy utilization and the yield of high-grade magnesia, shortens the furnace body's cycle time, and improves the working efficiency of the electric arc melting magnesia furnace.
