“…The practice was not found to have any influence on the quality of the product. In order to use a cold tundish successfully, an efficient and controlled drying of the tundish is necessary and the thermal heat loss of the steel should be compensated by an increase in the temperature of the first ladle of the tundish (Beraldo Andrade et al, 2003).…”

“…While a Tundish heater-dryer (capital cost $45,000) annually saves approximately 1000 MBtu (1.0 TJ) of natural gas, ladle heaters (capital cost $70,000) save 13,500 MBtu (14 TJ) of natural gas per year (Pruszco et al, 2003) Tundish Heating. Tundishes are heated to reduce the heat loss of the molten steel, to avoid bubbles in the first slab at the beginning of the casting sequence and to avoid degeneration of the refractory due to thermal shocks (Beraldo Andrade et al, 2003).…”

Energy is an important cost factor in the U.S iron and steel industry. Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times of high energy price volatility. There are a variety of opportunities available at individual plants in the U.S. iron and steel industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner. This Energy Guide discusses energy efficiency practices and energy-efficient technologies that can be implemented at the component, process, facility, and organizational levels. A discussion of the structure, production trends, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions of the iron and steel industry is provided along with a description of the major process technologies used within the industry. Next, a wide variety of energy efficiency measures are described. Many measure descriptions include expected savings in energy and energy-related costs, based on case study data from real-world applications in the steel and related industries worldwide. Typical measure payback periods and references to further information in the technical literature are also provided, when available. The information in this Energy Guide is intended to help energy and plant managers in the U.S. iron and steel industry reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the quality of products manufactured. Further research on the economics of all measures-and on their applicability to different production practices-is needed to assess their cost effectiveness at individual plants.
