Steel Production & Metallurgy
Heat exchangers are an essential component in steel production. They ensure the transfer and regulation of heat energy with high efficiency in various process steps. In the melting phase, they are indispensable for achieving the correct casting temperature of raw materials such as iron ore and scrap. During forming, heat exchangers are needed to regulate the temperature of the metal. This is the only way to ensure uniform processing. Heat treatment specifically influences the hardness, toughness and strength of steel. In this phase, heat exchangers help to precisely heat or cool the metal and therefore ensure the high quality of the end product.
Cooling systems effectively dissipate excess heat during high-temperature processes to prevent the machines from overheating. As a result, they also considerably improve energy efficiency and minimise operating costs. Adapted to the requirements of metallurgy, Kelvion heat exchangers and cooling systems ensure optimum performance.
The waste heat generated in the blast furnaces and converters of the energy-intensive steel industry can be recovered using heat exchangers and reintroduced into the production process. This enables companies to reduce their energy consumption and cut operating costs. Our cooling systems and heat exchangers contribute to the environmental friendliness of steel production by reducing the CO2 footprint. They are specially tailored to the requirements of industrial processes and meet the high demands of steel production. With our energy-efficient technologies, we accompany you on the way to a greener future of metallurgy.
The selection of suitable cooling and heat exchanger solutions and their integration into existing systems requires precise planning and knowledge of the specific process requirements.
