Diseño, construcción y montaje de un horno tipo crisol con capaciadad de 5kg, para aluminio.

Abstract

The general target of the current grade work is aim to design and construction a prototype furnace for melting nonferrous metals. A crucible of 5kg of capacity and a combustion system with natural gas driven airflow for do melting is used. The knowledge gained in the training career in Mechanical engineering design fields and heat transfers were applied. The construction parameters has been guided to improve of process melting according to operational assurance. Designs, calculations and checks practical prototype operations, as well as projected improvements for future applications were included.
