What is electric furnace? The electric furnace is a heating device in which heat is formed by turning electrical energy into thermal, as in many heating devices, see for example on the site about the electrocamines.
Such devices are used in the metallurgical and chemical industry, for melting metals. There are resistance furnaces, induction and arc furnaces. In resistance furnaces, the electric current passes through metal or ceramic conductors, due to the resistance of which when the heat is passed and the formation of heat.
Their advantage is in a uniform distribution of heat in the chamber of the furnace. In arc electric traces, an arc electric discharge is used between two electrodes, such furnaces allow you to obtain relatively high temperatures that are difficult to stabilize, besides this, it is difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of heat. In induction furnaces, heating is carried out due to the occurrence of vortex flows in the heated object under the influence of the electromagnetic field created by the solenoid.
The advantage of such furnaces is non-contact heating and what heat is produced in the heated object. Application in everybody of the most popular products offered in household appliances stores is a kitchen electric furnace. Such a furnace is a fairly compact device, sometimes it is also called the oven. It is located extremely simple: metal housing, heating elements that are directly inside the chamber, or separated from it the insulating layer, and a cord with a fork.
The ovens in size and power differ. Electric devices of greater power and having other design features are used to equip the baths and saunas, they are also called electrosenas due to the presence of additional containers for stones. In this capacity, they have a number of advantages over conventional wood-burning furnaces.
Firstly, there is no need for a chimney, wood harvesting, therefore, and the destruction of trees, secondly, disappears the need for additional cleaning and cleaning of the furnace, as well as the need to put firewood during exercise.
Electric equipment, usually equipped with a control panel, can heat the pair to a given temperature and maintained for several hours. In addition, electric furnaces are used to heat the building forms, cabins of various construction equipment, vehicle salons.
