Abstract

The invention relates to a metallurgical furnace, comprising a furnace body (1), a trunnion ring (2), and a pedestal structure (3). The furnace body (1) is arranged in the trunnion ring (2) rotatably about a rotation axis (A) by means of a supporting arrangement (4) comprising a bearing arrangement (5) between the trunnion ring (2) and the furnace body (1). The supporting arrangement (4) comprises a first connection frame means (7) between the furnace body (1) and the bearing arrangement (5), and a second connection frame means (8) between the bearing arrangement (5) and the trunnion ring (2). The second connection frame means (8) is connected to the trunnion ring (2) by a first attachment (9) providing for movements between the second connection frame means (8) and the trunnion ring (2).
