Abstract

In a converter plant including a tiltable converter surrounded by a casing to whose ceiling a principal discharge conduit for conducting away refining gases is connected, part of the casing is fastened to a charging device and is displaceable with the same. The charging device is designed as a portal crane displaceable in the direction of the tilting axis of the tiltable converter. A cellular casing part is fastened to the portal crane, is open towards the tiltable converter and has a gas-discharge opening in the ceiling. The remaining casing part is closed, and the cellular part, in the charging position and, if desired, also in the pouring-off position, closes the casing and the discharge opening lies below an additional discharge conduit for conducting away secondary emissions.
