Vol. XX XIX: No. 25. The Radcliffe Steel-Melting Furnace. Since the first introductien of the Siemens regenerative gas furnaces, attempts have been constantly made to attain the same re- sults by simpler and less expensive methods. These experiments, though sometimes fairly successful for a low degree of heat, have failed at the higher temperature required for heating and melting iron and steel— mainly for want of sufficient regeneration of the air, and also from lack of heat in the SILICA BRICK REFRACTORY BRICK RED BReges os... WROUGHT !RON-- - CAST |RON SY PEF Ny SN SSW : Y gases supplied to produce proper combustion. In certain cases where these conditions have been fairly well fulfilled and high degrees of heat attained, the air regenerators have been 80 complex in construction and so liable to get out of order that the problem has been practically abandoned or at best only par- tially solved. Until recently, outside of the regular Siemens-Martin forms, few efficient gas furnaces for open- hearth steel melting have been developed. Within the last 20 months, however, a new form of furnace has been designed and put into successful operation at the Royal Ar- senal, Woolwich, near London, the inven- tion of Mr. F. Radcliffe, superintendent cf the forge department, whose representative NDOEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS PAGE 18 Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades.

THE RADCLIEFE The accompanying Figs., 1, 2 and 3, rep- resent a furnace constructed upon this prin- ciple, for the manufacture of open-hearth steel. Fig. 1 is a vertical section through the combustion chamber, regenerator and gas producers ; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the line A Bof Fig. 1, looking down on the combustion chamber; Fig. 3 is a cross section through regenerator and bath. The leading advantages claimed of this fur- nace are: I. Simplicity of construction; there being no portion underground, and every part being easily got at for repairs ; 2, economy of space; the gas producers being a portion of the furnace, no inde- pendent and expensive gas plant is re- quired; 3, the current being continuous STEEL-MELTING FURNACE, WOOLWICH ARSENAL, the lever is raised the fuel passes through the valve d e¢ into the gas producer A. The air for the combustion of the fuel in the gas producer is delivered from a blower under ressure, and enters the air-heating cham- rmm. The pipe is fixed at one end to the second junction box and conducts the heated air from the heating apparatus to the ash pits O of the gas producers. The heated air is then forced into the gas producer from below, the gases passing on to meet the air for its combustion from the regenerator. The latter enters the regener- ator at the point v, and is under a pressure. It then passes through regenerator tubes, k, in the direction shown by the arrows, and passes through the flue s g to meet the gas nace, including the gas producers, regen- erator and combustion chamber, is combined ip one structure, and incased in plates bolted together at the flanges, and is strengthened further by strong tie-bolts passing through from one side to the other. It is found preferable to use a forced air supply for the gas producers, 3 inches of water being sufficient, and for the regen erator a pressure of 2 inches is auple. Before the air supply is allowed to pass into the gas producers it is heated to a temperature of between 700° and goo? & The gas produced under such conditions is o such a« high temperature that it needs no regeneration, an intothe combustion or melting chamber.

I[t is used with both lead and wrought-iron pipe; isa neat, reliable coupling, and is easily detached for the purpose of pumping out the pipe. parts of the coupling are tinned, and are furnished wi th all sinks without extra charge. The fact of the great strength and durability of this sink, as it is proctically free from danger of break age in transportation, handling or use, !s a strong point in Its favor, and that its merits are recognized by most competent judges is evident from the fact that leading houses which have been interested in the com mon article have taken up the Wrought Steel Sink. Twenty-five per cent. is saved in fre Steel Sinks. in Orders come from all parts of the United States, Canada, Europe and Anetralia.
