System and method of electromagnetic influence on electroconducting continuum
View Patent ↗Thus, as shown by an exact electrodynamic computation of EMBF and the estimations described above of the velocity of turbulent flows arising due to their effect, application of amplitude- and frequency-modulated helically traveling (rotating and axially traveling) electromagnetic fields in metallurgical and chemical technologies and foundry can considerably increase the hydraulic efficiency of MHD facilities, intensify the processes of heat and mass transfer in technological plants, significantly increase their productivity, considerably decrease energy consumption for the production of metals, alloys, cast articles, and chemical products, and improve their quality.
1. A method of intensification of melt stirring in induction m-phase furnaces, wherein currents feeding primary windings of an m-phase furnace transformer are hierarchically frequency and amplitude-modulated.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said currents generate a helically traveling magnetic field and said magnetic field is applied after filling a shaft with melt 1/n of the final melt height in the shaft.
3. A method according to claim 2 , wherein the helically traveling rotating magnetic field (RMF) affects a melt produced in electric-arc furnaces and reverberatory furnaces for casting aluminum alloys.
