English

Subject field(s)
  • Furnaces and Ovens (Metallurgy)
DEF

A heating apparatus in which the heat energy is generated by the flow of electricity through resistance material within the furnace.

CONT

The term is probably more appropriately used in those cases where the furnace charge constitutes the resistance, and resistor furnace would then be the term to apply to those instances in which resistance alloys, developing high temperatures, were used to convey the current. In the latter case the resistances (resistors) are generally not in contact with the charge, but are located in the furnace walls.

  • resistor furnace
  • electric resistance furnace
  • electric resistor furnace
