In electric steel plants the adjustment of liquid steel temperature as required for casting is carried out by EAF or ladle furnace. For an energy efficient process control, a new measuring and control concept was developed. Continuous monitoring of the liquid steel temperature enables optimal control of the electrical energy required to heat the melt. Target temperature is thus can precisely be adjusted.
