Abstract
One of the present authors, in a paper to the Iron
and Steel Institute in 1954 entitled "The Future of Steel Melting", re-introduced the idea of continuous counterflow steel melting.
In this paper it was stated that a suitable counterflow
furnace, in which the heat of the waste gases from a melt-ing chamber is used to preheat the charge in a counter current system, could attain thermal efficiencies of the order of 70%, compared with the maximum possible effic-iency of 50% for the existing open hearth furnace.
