Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a control device for controlling the heat removal q in the case of a mould 200 for the casting of metal. By suitable variation of the flow V of a cooling medium 300 through the side plate of a mould, heat removal from the side plate is adjusted to a predetermined setpoint value q Soll. In order not to have to adapt the control of the heat removal to different thicknesses or coatings of the side plates every time that different moulds are used or to changed adjustments of the side plates during the casting operation or to different grades of steel that may be cast, it is proposed according to the invention to calculate in real time the actual value for the heat removal q during stationary casting operation suitably for the cooling medium in each case, inter alia from the difference between the temperature of the cooling medium 300 at the coolant outlet and at the coolant inlet of the side plate 200 and also from material constants.
Description
METHOD AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE HEAT
REMOVAL FROM A SIDE PLATE OF A MOULD
The invention concerns a method and a control device for automatically controlling the heat dissipation of a side plate of a mold in a continuous casting installation for casting metal in slabs, thin slabs, blooms, billets, or preliminary sections. The method of the invention is preferably used in standard slab casting installations and molds, which are operated at a much lower casting speed than thin-slab casting installations.
A method for controlling the heat dissipation in a side plate of a mold is known, for example, from European Patent EP
1 070 560 Bl, in which the specific heat dissipation, also known as heat flux density, is controlled in a wide-side plate by suitable variation of the flow rate of the cooling water through the wide-side plate. The control occurs according to the thickness of the side plate, which is made of copper. A
definite threshold value for the heat flux density is defined as a function of the grade of steel that is to be cast and of the casting flux that is used. This prior art is aimed solely at limiting the heat dissipation of the during the relatively short start-up period in a thin-slab installation with high casting speed.
Proceeding on the basis of this prior art, the objective of the invention is to provide a method and a control device for automatically controlling the heat dissipation in a side plate of a mold, which are characterized by automatic adaptation to a current or changed state of the side plates, especially during a steady-state casting operation.
The objective with respect to a method is achieved by the method claimed in Claim 1.
The cooling behavior of a mold and especially its side plates is a critical factor in determining the quality of the cast metal. The claimed method offers the great advantage over the prior art that it does not require the coolant circulation and especially the amount of coolant to be adapted dr adjusted to the material, the thickness or the coating of a specifically used side plate, or its altered setting during a steady-state casting operation. In this respect, the claimed method and the claimed control of the heat dissipation automatically adapt to the given current state of the side plate used.

The objective with respect to a method is achieved by the method claimed in Claim 1.
The cooling behavior of a mold and especially its side plates is a critical factor in determining the quality of the cast metal. The claimed method offers the great advantage over the prior art that it does not require the coolant circulation and especially the amount of coolant to be adapted dr adjusted to the material, the thickness or the coating of a specifically used side plate, or its altered setting during a steady-state casting operation. In this respect, the claimed method and the claimed control of the heat dissipation automatically adapt to the given current state of the side plate used.
Y
Another advantage is that the claimed control system does not require any presetting in regard to the particular grade of steel that is being cast.
An advantage of the claimed method is that it makes it possible to adjust the cooling behavior of the side plate and thus the quality of the cast metal as a function of only a single variable to be preset, namely, the quantity of heat to be dissipated.
Control of the heat dissipation during the casting start-up operation, in abnormal casting situations, as, for example, those caused by a change in the casting speed, or at the end of a casting operation is achieved by conventional control of the amounts of water; therefore, the method of the invention is expressly not applied to these types of operations and situations.
In accordance with two alternative embodiments, the method of the invention advantageously provides either automatic control of the specific heat dissipation (with respect to the active cooling surface of the side plate) or automatic control of the absolute heat dissipation (without reference to the active cooling surface of the side plate).
The measured values entering into the computation of the actual value for the heat dissipation, for example, the f temperature of the coolant at the coolant inlet and outlet of the side plate and, optionally, the volume flow rate of coolant through the side plate, are advantageously averaged or filtered or buffered before they are introduced into the computation of the actual value for the heat dissipation.
This has the advantage that the dynamic properties/components of the measured actual values are adapted to the, by comparison, relatively slow control of the heat dissipation by variations of the volume flow rate of the coolant.
The control of the heat dissipation on the narrow side of a mold in accordance with the method of the invention offers the advantage that the control also automatically adapts to states specific to the narrow side and automatically simultaneously compensates effects on the casting process caused by their variation. For example, changed settings in the width and/or the conicity of the side plate during the casting operation are automatically simultaneously compensated by the claimed method during the automatic control of the heat dissipation, without it being necessary to determine these states separately and then to supply them to the control device.
Simultaneous application of the method of the invention to two or more side plates of the mold guarantees that the heat dissipation is separately controlled for each of the side plates, but at the same time it advantageously allows the adjustment of a desired ratio for the heat dissipation values between the individual side plates. Adjustment of the desired ratio can be easily realized by predetermining the set points for the heat dissipation values for the individual side plates in the desired way. For example, it can be desirable for the heat dissipation values in the two opposite narrow-side plates of a mold to be the same or for the heat dissipation of the two wide sides together to be in a definite ratio to the heat dissipation of the two narrow sides together.
The objective with respect to a device is achieved by a control device for automatically controlling the heat dissipation in a mold. The advantages of this control device are the same as the advantages specified above with reference to the method of the invention.
Additional advantageous embodiments of the method of the invention and the device of the invention are objects of the dependent claims.
The invention is explained below with reference to the example illustrated in the sole drawing.
The drawing shows first of all the circulation of a coolant 300 through the side plate 200 of a mold. The heat produced in the mold during the casting of a metal, especially a steel, is removed from the side plate by means of a coolant 300, which passes through cooling channels or cooling bores (not shown) in the side plate 200. The coolant is typically cooling water that has been treated with a corrosion inhibitor, with glycol, oils, or alcohol. Alternatively, activated water or distilled water can also be used. Each of these coolants is characterized by individual material constants, such as the specific gravity p or the specific heat at constant pressure cP.
After it has passed through the side plate 200, the now heated coolant 300 is cooled by passing it through a heat exchanger 400, which is connected with a cooling tower. After it has been cooled, the coolant 300 is fed to a pump 600, which is driven by a drive unit 650. The pump 600 maintains the circulation of the coolant 300 and pumps the cooled coolant back through the cooling channels of the side plate 200. In addition, the closed coolant circulation can have an expansion tank 700 (gas reservoir), especially for establishing a system pressure. A pump 600 in the system just serves for compensating drops caused by friction.
The present invention concerns a method associated with the coolant circulation described above and an associated control device 100 for automatically controlling the heat dissipation q of the side plate 200 during a steady-state casting operation to a possibly variably predetermined set point qset ' As the drawing shows, the control device 100 of the invention comprises a computing unit 110 for computing an actual value qQctuQr for the heat dissipation. The computing unit 110 computes this actual value by the following physical formula:
R'actual =(P * V* Cp * dv ) l A
where q the heat dissipation [W/mz]
p . the density of the cooling water [kg/m3]
V . the volume flow rate of the cooling water [L/min]
cp the specific heat of the cooling water (at constant pressure) [kJ/(kg-K)]
dv . the temperature difference Tout - Z'in [K]
A . the active mold surface.
The computing unit 110 can be designed to compute the heat dissipation q as a specific physical quantity, i.e., with reference to the active cooling surface of the side plate A, or as an absolute physical quantity, i.e., without reference to the active cooling surface A. The active surface is calculated as the active length of the side plate multiplied by the active width of the side plate or multiplied by the active thickness of the side plate.
The density p of the coolant used in the computation of the actual value for the heat dissipation qactua/f its specific heat cp, and the possibly used active surface are each suitably supplied in advance to the computing unit as constants. By contrast, the temperatures Tin and Tout at the coolant inlet and coolant outlet of the side plate are each determined as current measured values; their difference dv is used as a factor of proportionality in the computation of the heat dissipation. Finally, the volume flow rate V of the coolant per unit time through the side plate is supplied to the computing unit 110 as a current actual value. This can be accomplished either by making current measurements of the volume flow rate V, as shown in the drawing, or by feeding it back to the computing unit 110 as a controlled variable from the output of the controller 130, which is described below.
The drawing shows that the control device 100 has an averaging unit 140 for averaging or buffering the measured actual values with respect to time, especially the measured temperature values, before they are supplied to the computing unit 110. High-frequency spectral components and dynamic components in these measuring signals are filtered out by this averaging or buffering, and in this way these measuring signals are adapted to the otherwise rather slow control mechanism for the heat dissipation in the side plate 200.
As is also apparent from the drawing, the actual value for the heat dissipation qQcruQl produced by the computing unit 110 is supplied to a comparator 120 for computing a control deviation A4 for the heat dissipation. The comparator 120 computes this control deviation by subtracting the supplied actual value for the heat dissipation cjQctuaj from a possibly also variably preset set point for the heat dissipation qsel.
Finally, the control deviation Oqis supplied to the controller 130, which converts the current control deviation to a suitable variation of the volume flow rate V of the coolant 300 through the mold 200. This conversion is carried out in such a way that the current heat dissipation, represented by the actual value qQcruQj, is adapted to the preset set point cjser for the heat dissipation. The volume flow rate V is supplied as a control variable to the control system, in particular to a controlling valve 132 in the coolant circulation, so that said controlling valve 132 can properly adjust the volume flow rate of the coolant 300 through the side plate 200 for the present control variable.
Another advantage is that the claimed control system does not require any presetting in regard to the particular grade of steel that is being cast.
An advantage of the claimed method is that it makes it possible to adjust the cooling behavior of the side plate and thus the quality of the cast metal as a function of only a single variable to be preset, namely, the quantity of heat to be dissipated.
