Even though a properly sized pouring furnace can compensate for the thermal losses associated with melt distribution and transport operations.
The installation of a pouring furnace should not tempt us to deal carelessly with the
temperature losses identified above.
It is evident from the foregoing that much more attention should be paid to melt
distribution transport and pouring operations if one intends to produce qulity
casting with a low input of energy.
It would not make much sense to optimize the energy efficiency of the melting process at and enormous effort only to let energy go to waste in downstream pouring operations.
To let energy go to waste in downstream pouring operations.
To identify shortcomings and unused potentials in the casthouse, a precise
analysis of the underlying time and temperature flows is needed.
