Abstract
A postal survey was undertaken during December 1989 and January 1990 to collect energy consumption data relating to electric furnaces employed in the iron foundry industry. The results of the study are presented in the Energy Consumption Guide. Replies were received from foundries accounting for approximately 40% of the iron produced by electric melting in the UK in 1989. The analysis examines specific energy consumption which varies between 527 kWh/t and 1,076 kWh/t of metal melted. The majority of installations use between 500 and 800 kWh/t. The wide scatter of specific energy consumption values and the achievement of levels of 500-550 kWh/t by some installations indicates that there is considerable scope for improvement in the majority of foundries using coreless induction furnaces.
