A galvanizing furnace (1) with a galvanizing vat (6) and a furnace housing (2) surrounding the galvanizing vat (6), which furnace housing has a rectangular cross-section. The furnace housing (2) has two opposite longitudinal sidewalls (4) and two opposite end walls (5) and further comprises burners for heating molten zinc in the galvanizing vat (6). In the areas of two diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2), at least one first receptacle (15) is provided for a burner. In the areas of the other two diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2), a second receptacle (16) is provided for a burner. The burners are arranged optionally either in the first receptacles (15) or in the second receptacles (16). Flames produced by the burners are conducted in the area between a longitudinal sidewall (4) of the furnace housing (2) and the opposite wall of the galvanizing vat (6).
A galvanizing furnace (1) with a galvanizing vat (6) and a furnace housing (2) having a rectangular cross section surrounding the galvanizing vat (6), wherein the furnace housing (2) has two opposite longitudinal sidewalls (4) and two opposite end walls (5), and with burners for heating of molten zinc in the galvanizing vat (6), characterized in that in the areas of two diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2) in each case at least one first receptacle (15) for a burner is provided, that in the areas of the two other diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2) in each case a second receptacle (16) for a burner is provided, and that burners are optionally arranged either in the first receptacles (15) or in the second receptacles (16), wherein flames produced by the burners are conducted in each case in the area between a longitudinal sidewall (4) of the furnace housing (2) and the opposite wall of the galvanizing vat (6).
A method for operating a galvanizing furnace (1) with a galvanizing vat (6) and a furnace housing (2) surrounding the galvanizing vat (6), which furnace housing has a rectangular cross-section, wherein the furnace housing (2) has two opposite longitudinal sidewalls (4) and two opposite end walls (5), and with burners for heating of molten zinc in the galvanizing vat (6), characterized in that in the areas of two diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2) in each case at least one first receptacle (15) for a burner is provided, that in the areas of the two other diagonally opposite corners of the furnace housing (2) in each case a second receptacle (16) for a burner is provided, and that burners are arranged optionally either in the first receptacles (15) or in the second receptacles (16), wherein in each case flames produced by the burners are conducted in the area between a longitudinal sidewall (4) of the furnace housing (2) and the opposite wall of the galvanizing vat (6).
