Carbon Arc Furnace Cooling Applications for Our Pumps
Centrifugal magnetic drive pumps made by March Pump are ideal for use in carbon arc furnace cooling systems, also known as electric arc furnaces, due to their ability to handle extremes in temperature and internal pressure.
Our American-made seal-less stainless steel magnetic drive pumps can have a maximum flow of 120 gallons per minute at 20 feet, with a maximum head of 90 feet. The maximum internal pressure the pump can tolerate is 200psi, and a maximum liquid temperature of 250 Fahrenheit.

Choosing a Carbon Arc Furnace Cooling Pump
A carbon arc furnace, also called an electric arc furnace or a CAF, is an electric arc that generates heat for the purpose of melting certain materials (usually metal). Needless to say, they get extremely hot. You need a reliable carbon arc cooling system to ensure that the electric arc can adequately handle and come down from the extreme temperatures. When choosing your carbon arc furnace cooling pumps, you should consider the following:
- Liquid temperature – carbon arc furnaces work at high temperatures, so you need a pump that can handle the heat.
- Flow requirements – Ideally, you want pumps that can handle heavy flows of more than 100 gallons per minute
- Pressure requirements – Your pumps should be able to tolerate the internal pressure that is placed upon them.
We strongly recommend speaking with one of our representatives to ensure you get the pumps that are best for your needs. A series of pumps are usually required to ensure an optimal carbon arc furnace cooling system is in place. As mentioned, we recommend centrifugal magnetic drive pumps.
What are Common Carbon Arc Furnace Cooling Uses?
The primary purpose of carbon arc furnaces is to produce carbon steel and alloy steel. The electric arc reduces iron to iron ore through heat generation from an electric arc between electrodes. This is considered to be much more efficient than a blast furnace as it does not require as much fuel for combustion. There is only one primary use for a carbon arc furnace cooling pump, which is to ensure the carbon arc furnace cools properly.
