electric furnace
Powered smelting chamber
An electric furnace is a heating device that uses electricity rather than burning fuel.
In homes, it heats air for distribution through ductwork.
In industry, electric furnaces reach temperatures high enough to melt steel and other metals: The scrap was fed into an electric arc furnace.
They offer precise temperature control and produce no combustion emissions at the point of use.
