APP~ U~ FOR COOLING luI~'A~KGICA~ ~URNA~ WAL~
The present invention relates to the m~tallur~y, and particularly is concerned with an apparatus ~or cooling a me-tallurgical furnace wall~
'~he inve~tion is of par-ticular advantage in the case o~ a shaft furnac~.
Although appara~uses ~or cooling the wal~s of metallur-gical furnaces have been known relatively long ago, a~ appara-tus for cooling a metallurgical furnace wall, which would be simple in manufac-ture a~d reliable in operatio~, and also feature a long ~ervice life~ has not been developed so far~
'r`here are known apparatuses for cooling a metallurgical furnace wal~ (cfc USSR Author's Certifica-te ~o 506,466~ pub lished 15 March 1976, and U~SR Author's Certi~icate No 545,676, published 5 Februar~ 1977; Andoniev S.~. Isparitel~oe ohla~h~e nie metallurgiches~ pechei, M., ~ashinostroe~ie, 1970, pp.
132-140) which comprise a cast iron plate and disposed there-in cooling steel pipes. Hereina~tex the term "cooling pipes~' is used to mean the pipes through which a coolant circu~ates and which ar~ adapted to remove heat ~rom the wall o~ a me~
tallurgical ~ur~ace.
~ he plates wi-th the cooling pipes dispos~d therein are mounted around~the pariphery of the furnace wall and secur~d ~o the jacket thereof~ The above apparatus operates under the condition o~ sharpl~ varying thermal stresses arising during operatio~ of ~he ~urnace. ~his ~eadæ to a thermal fatigue o~ the cast iron plate and as a result to the forma~ion o~
cracks -therein, in which craGks graphite deposits, thereby ~3~3~3~

~urthering irac~ure of -the cas-t iron. Furthermore, said cast iron plate has a relatlvely great thickness and during operation of`
the metallur~ical furnace the temperature of ~he exposed sur~ace of said plate varies in the range from 400 to 900~C. '~his cau-ses irreversible expansion o~ the cast iron plate, which impa-irs the mechanical properties of the cast iron and leads~ as a result, ~o a~ increased rate of abrasion weax thereof by -the charge a~d gas f`low con-taining solid particles.
l'he above appa~atus for cooling a metallurgical furnace wall is labour-consuming in man~`actule. Its manu~acture invol-ves making a casting mouldt care~ullg treating the surface oY
the steel pipes be~ore casting molten me-tal (cleani~g, applying aluminium pain~t and quartz powcler) and drying, mounting the pipes in the mould~ etc. Furthermore, a~ter the casting mould with the pipes secured therein is filled wi-th a molten iron there takes place a partial carbonization of the steel base of the pipes and the growth of the grains of said bteel base~
which considerably a~ects the strength and plasticit~ o~ -the cooling pipes.
~ here is also known an apparatus for cooli~g a metallur-gical ~urnace wall which partially removes the above disadvan-ta~es (c~. US Patent ~o 4,154,1759 pu~lished 15 May, 1979).
~his apparatus comprises a two~layer plate eomposed of a low heat conductivity and a high heat conductivity layers~ Into the plate are built at least two coolin~ metal pipe~ so as to ~orm a space therebetween. r~he interface o~ -the plate layer~
intersects the hollow o~ said pipes alon~ their ceh~reline p~ane substantially in parallel ~o the pla-te surface.
Said plate wi~h the cooling pîpes built therein is ~as-tenad on the jacket o~ a furnace so th~t the pipes are loca-ted close to the jacke-t o~ the Eurnace and substantially in parallel to the longitudinal generatri:~ thereo~ `he low heat conductivity layer is located outwardly o~ the furnace cham-ber, i~e. on the side of the furnace jac~et, ~nd the high heat co~duc-tivity l~yer is located i~wardly o~ the ~urnace chamber, i.eO e~posed there-to~
'~he above apparatus was manu~actured in the ~ollowing ma~ner. l'he plate layers were cast separately: the high heat conductivity layer was cast from a cast iron, and the low heat conductivit~ layer was cast from a heat~resistant concrete and provided with reeesses for the cooling pipesO '~he cooling pipes were placed in said recesses and the layers of -the pla~
te with the coolîng metal pipes in said recesses were bo~ded with the use o~ tie bo~-ts.
While manufacturing such cooling apparatus the strength and ~lasticity o~ the cooling pipes are no-t a~ected~ since due to such construction of the apparatus -the conditions which may cause carbonization o~ the steel base o~ the pipe and the growth o~ the grains o~ said steel during the ma~u~act~re are rul~d out. I~ addition, the manu~acturing prOC2SS of the appar~tus has also been simplified to some e~tent.
~ Iowever, in most cases, when the appax~tus is assembled, a ti~ht adjoining o~ the p~ate layers ~nd cooling pipes in the plane o~ their co~tact ~ailed to be obtained, u~hich re-$~

sults in a lower e~`ficiency of` coo`ling -the f'urnace wa~l~
~ i'urthermore~ the high heat conduc~~ivi-ty laye~ (o~ cast iron) has a rela-tlvel~ large -thicKness~which under the conditions o~
sharp~y var~ing temperature may lead -to the forrnation of cracks and ~racture of said layer~ Because -the inter~'ace Q~ the pla-te ~yers coincides wi-th the longitudinal centre-line plane of' the cooling pipes the plate collapses in the end ixrespec-tive of the presence of' the tie bol-ts. After frac-turing and breaking-o~ o~
the high hea-t conduc-tivity layer ~he 'blast-furnace ~as under pressura begins to escape through the cracks in the low heat ,conduc-tivit~ layer and coming~ in con~tact with Ghe aacket of' the furnace heats the latter,thereby causing the de~`ormation thereof.
~ hus9 the above apparatus for cooling a metallurgical ~urna-ce wal~ features a relatively short service ~ife~ low gas tight-ness and doe~ not provide a high e~iciency in cooling a ~urnace wall.
The principal object of the inven~io~ is to increase the service li~e of the ~ppara-tus.
Anothar object of the invention is ,to improve the gas tight ness o~ the appara-tus and i~prove the ef~icienc~ o~ cooling a , ~urnace wall.
Still arlother objec-t of the invention is ~o improve the re liability of fastening o~ -the pl~te layers to one another.
Yet another object of the invention is to lower a labour consumption and production cost of the apparatus.
These a~d other objects of the invention are attained in that an apparatus for cooling a metallurgical fur~ace wall, comprising a two-layer pla-te composed of a `low hea-t conductivity layer and a hi~h heat conductivit~
'layer, at least two cooling metal pipes bui~t in said , ~2~

pla-te in spacad relationship so that inter~ace of the pla~e layers intersects -the hollow o~ said pipes in the longitudinal direction substantially in parallel to bhe plane of the plate, according -to the invention the interface of the plate layers is displaced reLative the longitudinal centre-llne plane towards the low heat conductivity layer~
Such structural arrangement of the pla~e layers allows the high heat conductivi-tg layer to be reliably secured on -the surface of the cooling pipe and the presence of an air space between -the plate layers and the surfaces of the cooling pipes to be eliminated, which considerably improves the efficienc~
of cooling of the furnace wall. ~ll this resu`lts in a longer service life o~ the apparatus. In addition, less metal is re-quired ~or manufacturing such apparatuses since the sur~ace of the hi~h heat conductivity layer at leas~ does not extend beyond the generatxi~ of the cooling pipe. r~hus, the thick-ness o~ the hi~h heat conductivit~ layer is considerablg de-creased and the temperature of said layer under the condiGions of sh~r~ly varying temper~tures is decreased (to ~50C) and cracks do not ~orm, r~his considerably improves ~he ~as tight-ness of -the a~paratus, and also permits the dimensions and w~igh-t thereof to be decreased? thereby imp~ovin~ the effici-encg of cooling.
It is expedient that the in*erface of the plate layers be displaced to an amount of from 0.180 to 0~318 the external diameter of the coolin~ pipe~ If the i~terface of said layers is displaced to the distance which is less than 0.180 the ex-ternal diarneter, the high heat conductivi-ty layer of the pla-te may in some case~ scale o~f which impairs the reliability of` -the apparatus and decreases the service ~i~e thereofO When the amount of displacemexl-t of said interface exceeds 00~18 the e~ternal di~neter o~ the cooling pipe, the thickness o~ the low heat conductivity layer decreases, which even-tually may lead to overheating of the jacket o~ the ~urnace, thereby causing i-ts deformation and failure.
~ hexefore, a modification o~ the proposed apparatus where in the low heat conductivit~ l~yer of the pla~e is made from a heat-resistant concrete9 and the high he~t conductivity layer is made from a metal material selected ~rom steel, aluminium--co~taining cast iron, or spheroidal gxaphite cast iron, is the most reliable in operatlon a~d shows~he long~est service li~eff ~he use of the heat-resistant concrete in the low heat conductivity layer of the plate ensures that even in case the high heat conduc-ti~ity ~ayer is out of order the jacket of the ~urnace is prevented from being overheated. ~t the same time the use of steel 9 aluminium-co~taining cast iron, a~d spheroi~
dal graphite cast iron in -the high heat conductivity layer allows the coolin~ pipes to be prevented ~rom carbonization during the manu~acture of the proposed apparatus.
~ o ensure a re~iable fas-tening of the layers o~ the pla~
te to each other it is eæpedient that the low hea-t con~uctivity layer of -the plate be jQined with the high heat conductivity ~a~er with the aid of reinforcing inserts~
It is expedient that the reinforcing inserts be made in the form of truncated conical projec~ions on the high heat conductivity layer inserted into through conical holes provi-ded in the low .heat cond~1ctivit~y layex3 wi-th ~he sma~lest diameter ends of said truncated conica~ projections being di-rected to the high heat conductivity layer4 Such connection o~ the layers of the plate enables scaling-off and ~reaking--o~f o~ the high heat conductivity layer to be practically rule~ out, which provides f'or the pro-tection of the cooling pipes f'rom a direct action of the high temperatures arising in ~he melting chamber,of the furnace. All this ensures a high reliability o~ the proposed apparatus in operation and ~onger service life, It is ~urnace expedien-t that the larger diameter of each tru~cated conical projection of the hea-t conductivity la~er be in the range fxom 0O5 to 3.0 -the thickness of the low hea-t-conductivity la~er, and the tapering of said projection be in the range ~rom 1:3 to 1:10. If the larger diameter of the conical projection is less than 0~5 the thickness of the low heat conductivity layer the section size o~ the conical pro-jections is not sufficie.nt to e~sure a reliable fastening o~
the plate layers to one anothe:r. I~ the larger diameter of the conical projections is greater tha~ 3cO the -thickness o~
the low heat conductiYity layer the s~rength o~ the low heat conductivity layer is affected, which eventually ma~ be a reason o~ premature failure of said layer.
In the course of operation of the metallurgical ~urnace the high heat conductivity layer is co~lsta~tly exposed to the -- ~z~

act.ion o~` the charge, causing stresses in the metal o~ the co nical projectio~s along the interface of -the plate ~ayers. In this case a gap is formed betwee~ the surface o~ the conical projections of the high heat conductivity layer and the surface o~ the conical through holes in the low hea-t conductivit~ layer7 and if -the co~icity of the projections is not sufficient (more than 1:10) the bond between two layers oP the plate may be deteriorated, thereby bringing the plate out of' ordexO If the conici-t~ of the projec-tions is too great, (less -than 1:3) the gre~ter difference between the diameter (smaller and larger) may cause a sharp increase in the stresses arising in the metal o~ the high heat conductivity la~er along the inter~ace o~ the plate layers, which may lead to the ~ormatio~ o~ cracks in the conical projections and their breaking awag, thereby deterio-rating the bond between the plate layers.
~ o provide a uni~orm adjoining of the plate layers to one another with a minimum number o~ the conical prQaections it is expedie~t that said conica~ projec-ti.ons be disposed i~ a chequ~r--board order in the spaces betwee~ the cooling pipe~ and equidis-tant ~'rom the axes o~ the adjace~t cooling pipes.
~ here is possible'modi~ication of the proposed apparatus, wherein the two-layer plate with the cooling pipes built ~herein is p~aced in a metal enclosure closed on the side o~ the low heat conductivity layer and open o~ the side o~ the high heat conduc~ivity ~ayer. Said me-tal enclosure simulta~eously serves as a casting mould wherein the proposed apparatus is ass~mbled.
~his metal enclosure prevents ~racture o~ the low hea~ conduc-tivity layex auring the -transport~tio~ and mounting of the appa~

Refering now to ~igs 1 and 2 of -the accompanying drawings9 an appara-tus f`or cooling a metallurgical f'urnace wall comprises a two~`layer plate 1 composed of a low heat conductivity layer 2 and a high he~-t conductivi-ty layer 3. Built in said pla-te 1 are at least two cooling metal pipes 4. Said pipes 4 are built in the plate 1 so that a space ls provided ~etween the~1 ~he in-ter-face of the ~.ayers 2 and 3 o~ the plate 1, denoted by li.ne 5 (see Fig~ 2) intersec-ts -the cavity of the cooling pipes 4 in the longitudinal direction substantially i.n parallel to the pla~e of ~he pla-te ~nd displaced relative the longitudinal centre-line plane of the cooling pipes towards the low heat conductivi-ty layer by an amount 7'a".
It is advisable that the interface 5 o~ the layers 2 and 3 of the pla-te ~ be displaced by an a~ount "a" constituting from 0.180 to ~31~ of the e~ternal diameter l'D't of the coo~-ing pipe ~, which will ensure more reliable operation of the proposed apparatus~
A modi~ication of the proposed apparatus, wherein the low heat conductivity layer 2 of the pl:ate 1 is rnade from a heat-resistant co~crete, and the high heat conductivity layer is made ~rom a metal material selected from steel, aluminium--containing cast iron, and spheroidal graphite cast iron, has the lo~gest service life.
~ he proposed appara~tus is ma~ufactured with the u e of a preliminarily pro~lded f`ramework at the bottom of' which''the 31~

cooling pipes 4 are secured in spaced relationship~ The f~ame-work was then. fi~led ~i-th a heat-resista~t concrete to for~ the ~ow he~t conductivity layer 2 of a predetermined thickness.
A~ter the co~crete acquires a predetermined streng-th a metal materia~ was cast ovex the layer 2 to form the high heat co~-ductivity layer 3 whose surface did not ex*end at least beyond the generatrix o~ the cooling pipe 4.
~ ter solidifica-tion of the metal layer 3 the two-layer plate ~ with -the cooling pipes ~ bullt therein was removed from the framework? whereafter the apparatus for cooling a metallurgical ~urnace wall was ready ~or mounting and use~
~ he pl~te 1, incorporating the cooling pipes 4 was ~astened-in a conventional m~ner to the jacke-t 6 (see ~ig~2) of the me-tallurgical ~urnace so that the cooling pipes 4 were located close to the jacket 6 substantially in paral`lel to the longitu-dina~ generatrix of the jacket. In this case the low heat con-ductivity layer is located on the side of the jacket 6 and the .
high hear co~ductivity layer on the side o~ the furnace ~elting chambe.r.
Shown in ~igs 3-5 is a modi~ication of the proposed appa~
r~tus wherein the layers 2 and 3 o~ the pla-te 1 are ~astened to one another with the aid o~ rei.n~orcing inse~ts which provide for the most reliable f'astening. ~he reîn~orcing inserts are made in the form o~ truncated conical projections 7 on the high heat conductivity layer 3 o.~ the plate 1~ inserted in-to through conical holes pro~7ided in -the low hea~ conductivity layer 2. ~he smaller diameter en~o~ the -truncated conical projections 7 is directed toward~ the high heat conductivity ~,a~

~ 12 -1ayer 3 o~ the plate 1~
It is to be noted that for convenience the cooling pipes in Fig. ~ are ou-tlined b~ solid lines.
More ~eliable in operation is a modification of the pro~
posed apparatus wherein the lar~er diameter "D" oP each trun-cated conical projection 7 of ~he high heat conduc-tlvity layer of' the plate 1 constitutes ~'rom 0.5 to 3.0 of the thickness "b" of the low heat conductivity layer 2, and the tapering of the projection 7 is in the range ~rom 1:3 to 1:10.
To cause the layers 2 ~ld ~ to be uniforml~ fitted to one another with a minimum number of the conical projection used3 it is expedient that said conical projections 7 be arra~ged in a chequer-board order in -the spaces provided betwee~ the cooling pipes 4 ana equidistant ~rom t~e axes o~ the adjacent pipes 4, as can be seen in ~'ig, ~ of -the accompa~ying drawi~gs.
~ hen manu~`acturing the above modi~ication o~ the propo-sed apparatu~s -through conical holes were made in said layer 2 a~ter a heat resistant concrete has been p'Laced into the fra-mework -to form said low heat conducti~it~ layer 2, whexea~ter a metal was cast to form a high heat conductivity 'Layer 3~ in which case said metal f'illed -the holes in the layer 2 to there-by form conical projections 70 ~ ho~n in ~igs 6 and 7 is a modification of the proposed apparatus which is less labour-consuming in manu~acture and the most reliable in op~ration, mountin~ and transportation.
In this modi~ication the said pLate 1 toge-ther with the cool~
ing pipes 4 is placed into a meta'L encLosure 8, with said .

meta`L enclosure bei.ng c~osed on the side o~ the low heat con-ductivit~ layer 2 and the end ~aces o~ the plate 1, a~d open on the side Q~ the high heat conductivity layer 3.
~ he most compac~ ~ld convenien-t in mounting is a modifi-cation wherein the depth of' the metal enclosure 8 equals a-t least the external diameter "D" of -the cooling pipes 4.
When manuf`acturing this modi~ic~tion of the proposed apparatus the me-tal enclosure 8 is used as a ~ramework, and the cooling pipes 4 are welded to the bottom of said enclosu-re 8.
It shou~d be noted that in each of' the above modlficati-ons o~ the proposed app~ra-tus the cooling pipes 4 are provided with inlet cormection pipes an~ outlet connec~ion pipes 9 and 10 respectively (see ~igs 1.., 3 and 6 o~ -the'accompanying dra wing~ ~he i~let connection pipes 9 are located in the lower portion of the cooling pipes 4, and the outlet connection pipes 10 in the upper poItion thereof'0 'l'he above apparatus oper~tes in the following manner.
~ hrough inlet connection pipes 9 (see Figs 1, 3 and 6) a coolant is delivered under pressure into the cooling~ pipes 4 and then through the ou~let connection pipes is withdrawn outside the ~urnace~ While passing -through the cooling pipQS 4 the coolant is heated b~ -the thermal ~lu~ received through the high he~t conductivit~ layer ~ o~ the plate 1 arld the walls o~ the pipes L~ ~rom the charge and -the gas flow. In thi~ case the coolant cools down the layers 2 a~d 3 o~ the plate 1~ while the low heat conductivity layer 2 in its turn prot~3cts the jacket 6 (see ~igs 2, 4 and 7) of the ~'urnace wall from over-~2~
~ 14 -heatin~
I.n this case o:~ the modi~ication of the appa:ratus sho~m in ~igs 3-5 of the accor~lpanying drawings the cooling pipes 4 and the layers 2 and 3 are heated in accordance with their thermal expansion. This thermal expansion f`avours a tigh-ter adjoining o~ the layers 2 and 3 to one another and to the cooling pipes 4, which improves the heat trans~er~ i.e~ recep-tion of the heat ~lux by the coolantg thereby improving the efEiciency of cool~n~.
In the case o~ the modi~icatio~ o~ the proposed appar~tus shown in ~i~s 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings, the metal enclosure 8 provides for a higher rigidity o~ the whole appara-tus, -thereby bringing down the rate of abrasion wear of the layer 31 caused by the charge and the gas flow~ In the case o~
formation of cracks in the layers 2 and 3 said metal enclosure 8 prevents their failure.
It is to be understood that the invention has been des cribed her~in in terms o~ particular embodiments and that various modi~ications may be ~ade in the invention withou-t de-parting ~'rom the spirit o~ the ~ollowin~ claims.
