Abstract
Provided is a cyclonic plasma melting furnace. A melting furnace chamber body includes an inlet through which waste is input and an outlet through which air or gas is discharged. The outlet is provided in a direction opposite to the inlet. At least one plasma torch is provided on the melting furnace chamber body so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a direction in which the air or the gas is discharged through the outlet.
Claims10
A cyclonic plasma melting furnace comprising:
- a melting furnace chamber body comprising an inlet through which waste is input and an outlet through which air or gas is discharged, the outlet being provided in a direction opposite to the inlet;
- and
- a plurality of plasma torches provided on the melting furnace chamber body so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle in a direction away from the inlet and outlet directions with respect to a direction in which the air or the gas is discharged through the outlet, but formed at a portion adjacent to the outlet of the melting furnace main body,
- wherein a direction perpendicular to a ground surface is defined as a z axis direction, a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the outlet is provided is defined as an x axis direction, and a direction perpendicular to the x axis direction is defined as a y axis direction,
- wherein the plurality of plasma torches are formed on the facing portions of the melting furnace chamber body centered on the outlet, and are asymmetrically arranged so that the flames of the plasma torches do not directly contact each other,
- wherein the plurality of plasma torches are inclined at predetermined angles to deviate from the direction of the inlet and the direction of the outlet,
- wherein the plurality of plasma torches are provided on the facing portions of the melting furnace chamber body so as to be inclined asymmetrically to each other.
