The heat transfer analysis was performed for an industrial ladle furnace (LF) with a capacity of 55-57 t in Turkey. The heat losses by conduction, convection and radiation from outer and bottom surfaces, top and electrodes of LF were determined in detail. Finally, some suggestions about decreasing heat losses were presented. © 2006 Central Iron and Steel Research Institute.
