ABSTRACT:
A furnace flow control valve for use within a bath of molten metal. The flow control valve includes a vertically-disposed elongated tubular stator, which is configured to receive flow from a molten metal pump. The valve has a rotor which is sealing rotatable within the stator between: a full re-circulation position, where flow from the pump passes un-hindered through the valve; a full transfer position, where flow from the pump is redirected into the vertically disposed stator and out of the valve; and a partial re-circulation/partial transfer position where flow from the pump both passes through the valve and is transferred up and out of valve through the stator.
