BESS for Foundry Induction Furnaces and Metal Stamping: Preventing Frozen Charges, Surviving Harmonics and Shaving Peak Demand
When a regional utility grid trips while 15 tonnes of ductile iron sits at 1,550°C inside a medium-frequency coreless induction furnace, the melting supply drops out immediately along with the closed-loop cooling water pumps and the hydraulic tilting unit. Only a few inches of rammed silica or alumina refractory separate the liquid metal bath from the hollow water-cooled copper induction coil. With the circulation pumps stopped, heat from the bath conducts outward through the lining into stagnant coil water.
