Ação de eficiência energética em fornos de fusão: Um estudo de caso

Abstract

This paper presents a case study carried out in a metal-mechanic foundry company. It highlights researches related with energy consumption in melting furnaces, focused on electric induction furnaces and its objective is an application of action plan for energy efficiency with immediate term return and proposes of long-term return on investment. It demonstrates savings from reducing energy rates after the enforcement of action plan for energy efficiency.
