Air-Cooled Compensation Capacitor for Medium Frequency Furnaces

Air-Cooled Capacitor

Air-cooled RFM capacitors are used where a water circuit is not wanted on the capacitor itself. They serve the same tank-circuit duty on small and medium furnaces.

Every figure in these tables is taken from the factory sheets in the product folder and is written in English. 1 metric ton = 1.102 US short tons. Power-supply ratings can still be negotiated to the customer requirement, as the sheet itself states. American standards are the US specifications normally requested with this equipment.

Key features

  • No capacitor cooling-water circuit
  • Same RFM electrical series as the water-cooled units
  • Selected by voltage, kvar and frequency
  • Used in racks beside the power supply

Construction

  • Case, bushings and natural or forced-air cooling. No water nozzles.

Working principle

Electrically the same as a water-cooled capacitor: it resonates with the coil. Heat leaves through the case instead of a water passage.

Applications

Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals.

Complete system integration

This equipment sits in the same line as the power supply, the capacitor bank, the induction coil, the magnetic yoke, the furnace body and the cooling system. A quotation can cover one item or the full line.

Customization

Capacity, voltage, frequency, dimensions and connection layout can be made to the furnace design. Send the drawing or the duty data below.

Questions before a quotation

Can the rating be customized?

Yes. Capacity, voltage, frequency, tube size and connection layout follow the furnace drawing and the metal.

What do you need for a quotation?

Furnace capacity, metal, melting temperature, melting rate, working hours, input voltage, frequency if known, tilting method and cooling-water conditions. A drawing helps.

Do you supply a single machine or the complete system?

Both. A spare coil, yoke, capacitor or cooling tower can be quoted alone. A new foundry line is quoted as a complete system.

Which metals can be melted?

Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals. The lining and the frequency follow the alloy.

Will you confirm the catalog numbers before manufacture?

Yes. The sheets on this page are the factory catalog for selection. The quotation states the rating that will be built.
