OSTI ID:6256442
A continuous Sliding Bed preheater has been developed for preheating secondary aluminum scrap prior to melting in an aluminum melter. A packed bed of scrap is formed and allowed to slide down a stationary hearth composed of overlapping plates. Hot process gases are blown through gaps between the plates to heat the scrap bed. The preheater uses melter exhaust gases as the sole heat source. Preheating scrap prior to melting can increase a melter's production capacity and reduce fuel consumption on a Btu/Lb basis.
