Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pre-warning device for breakthroughs of metal melts on ceramic furnace linings of melting furnaces, in particular induction melting furnaces with electrodes or electrode network to be arranged on the respective furnace lining, in particular on the outside thereof, the electrodes being divided into two groups of different polarity, spaced apart and to determine the electrical, temperature-dependent resistance of the furnace lining between the two electrode groups can be connected to an evaluation unit.
  • the ceramic furnace linings are subject to very hard thermal, chemical and mechanical stresses during operation. This results in washouts and possibly cracks that can penetrate to the inductor in an induction melting furnace. If penetration of the molten metal towards the inductor is not recognized in good time, the induction melting furnace may be seriously damaged and, in extreme cases, even explosive emptying of the melting unit.
  • prewarning devices of the generic type which use the principle of resistance measurement. This is based on the knowledge that the electrical resistance between any two contact points of the ceramic furnace lining, for example on the outside, is dependent on the temperature, in that it drops considerably with increasing temperature, by a few powers of ten in the high-resistance range. If there is a breakthrough in the wall of the furnace lining, a local temperature increase takes place, which can be determined with a suitable distribution of the electrodes on the furnace lining and on its outer wall via the resistance measurement. The problem lies in being able to arrange the electrode network on the outside of the ceramic furnace lining with a sufficiently close mesh in order to be able to achieve a safe early warning of the melt breakthrough that is imminent.
  • the electrode network is arranged in grooves on the outside of a so-called finished crucible, which is inserted into an induction furnace as a prefabricated part and is surrounded there with a ceramic back-ramming compound in order to fill the necessary annular gap towards the inductor wall.
  • the electrode network is at a sufficient distance from the inductor wall in order to be able to signal an impending breakthrough point in good time without the inductor being damaged.
  • the use of ready-made crucibles is very low, because conventional furnace delivery is preferred in which the furnace lining is built up from the ceramic material at the place of use.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pre-warning device of the type mentioned, which allows easy attachment of the electrodes in the outside of the furnace lining and ensures high display security of the entire system.
  • This task is carried out at a pre-warning device
  • Generic type according to the invention solved in that at least one of the electrodes is arranged as an electrode network on one side on a ceramic film.
  • This ceramic film is arranged either with the side provided with the electrode network or with the side facing away from the furnace lining.
  • the film has a lower thermal conductivity and a lower electrical conductivity and in the second case an approximately the same or higher thermal conductivity as well as an approximately the same or higher electrical conductivity compared to the ceramic material of the furnace lining.
  • it does not matter whether only one of the electrodes of the two electrode groups or the electrodes of both groups are formed by the electrode network.
  • the arrangement of the electrode network on the ceramic film is crucial.
  • the ceramic film with the applied electrode network is prefabricated for the respective application and can be used regardless of whether the ceramic furnace lining is built up in a conventional delivery in the melting furnace, such as an induction melting furnace, or is introduced into the furnace as a finished crucible becomes.
  • the ceramic film with the integrated electrode network can easily be attached in an equidistant arrangement to the inductor wall in an induction melting furnace, and it can also take on the role of a thermal barrier coating.
  • a ceramic Foil material is preferably a fine, felt-like non-woven fabric made of ceramic material, as is known per se and roughly comparable in mechanical properties to a stiff, rigid paper or cardboard web.
  • the ceramic foil material has a behavior which does that the furnace lining is similar. If, on the other hand, the electrode network is arranged between the ceramic foil material and the ceramic furnace lining, the thermal resistance and the electrical resistance of the foil material must be higher, expediently much higher than that of the furnace lining.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the invention is to arrange the electrode network between two such ceramic foils, of which the foil to be arranged adjacent to the outside of the furnace lining has approximately the same or higher thermal conductivity and a lower specific resistance and that on the furnace lining foil to be arranged on the opposite side have a lower thermal conductivity and a higher specific resistance than the ceramic material of the furnace lining.
  • the thermal and electrical insulation properties of the ceramic film which has the higher resistance values make it possible it even saves a separate insulation layer, which is usually provided in an induction melting furnace between the inductor wall and the ceramic furnace lining.
  • a melting chamber 1 which, except for an upper opening, is completely surrounded by a furnace lining 2, which consists of a sinterable, ceramic material.
  • a furnace lining 2 which consists of a sinterable, ceramic material.
  • an intermediate layer 3 adjoins the furnace lining 2 radially outward, in which an electrode network 7 is embedded, whereupon will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the intermediate layer is further surrounded on the outside by a coil compensation mass 4, behind which an induction coil 5 and a magnetic conductor 6 in the form of a yoke lie further radially outwards.
  • the peculiarity of such an induction melting furnace lies in the formation of the intermediate layer 3 between the ceramic furnace lining 2 and the spool lenausrete 4, because this intermediate layer 3 takes over both an insulation function and has the electrode network 7 mentioned, which to an electrical monitoring system for timely signaling of breakthroughs Metal melting heard through the ceramic furnace lining 2.
  • This electrode network 7 extends over the entire circumference along the outside of the ceramic furnace lining 2, as will be explained below with reference to the processing according to FIG. 4.
  • the intermediate layer 3 consists of one or more pre-assembled components, which is described below with reference to FIG. 3.
  • the intermediate layer 3 is composed of a plurality of prefabricated ceramic mats 8, each of which extends over the height of the furnace lining 2.
  • a ceramic mat 8 is shown in Fig. 3, it is such a prefabricated component that is adapted to the particular type of furnace for which it is to be used. It has an inner Film 9 and an outer film 10, both of which have, for example, a felt-like structure made of ceramic fibers. Both foils 9 and 10 have approximately the strength and the bendability of cardboard, they can therefore be adapted in their composite to the inner curvature of the furnace wall, which is formed without infeed by the coil compensation mass 4 (FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the foils 9 and 10 can also be called a web material because they can be cut to length from longer webs of the ceramic material.
  • the electrical monitoring system is based on the principle of measuring the resistance of the ceramic furnace lining 2 between two electrodes 11, which form the electrode network 7 in a plurality or multiplicity in a special configuration, which is arranged between the two ceramic foils 9 and 10. It must therefore be measured into the ceramic material of the furnace lining 2 from the mat 8 in the installed position on the outside of the furnace lining 2. Therefore, the film 9 lying directly on the furnace lining 2 has electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties which correspond to or are at least similar to those of the furnace lining 2. In contrast, the outer film 10 lying away from the furnace lining 2 in the installed position has insulating properties, that is to say it has a much lower electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity than the inner film 9.
  • the specific resistances of the foils 9 and 10 required in relation to the ceramic material of the furnace lining 2 can be set by suitable supplements, which are added to the ceramic material of the foils 9 and 10.
  • the electrodes 11 of the electrode network 7 consist of a material which has a high resistance to temperature changes, a high heat resistance and good corrosion resistance; austenitic electrode wires are suitable for this.
  • the electrodes 11 are assigned to a first group 12 and a second group 13, the electrodes 11, which are adjacent to one another, belong to the different groups 12 and 13 and are arranged equidistantly relative to one another. Therefore, the electrodes 11 of the two groups 12 and 13 form opposing comb-like structures which interlock in the direction of the comb teeth, so that one electrode 11 of one group 12 is adjacent to electrodes 11 of the other group 13.
  • This entire electrode network 7 is located between the two foils 9 and 10, which are connected to one another in a suitable manner, as a result of which the electrode network 7 is also fixed.
  • leads 14 and 15 are led out at a suitable point, which are connected to one of the electrode groups 12 and 13, which are subjected to different polarities during operation.
  • the mats 8 are arranged circumferentially around the furnace lining 2.
  • the mats 8 are along the through the ceramic Streak 4 formed inner wall of the inductor as an intermediate layer 3 (Fig. 1 and 2) prior to delivery of the furnace lining 2.
  • the height of the furnace lining to be monitored, ie to be covered by the mats 8, is identified by arrow A and the corresponding extent by arrow B. So that breakthrough monitoring is partially possible for each of the mats 8, the respective one supply line 8 had an electrical connection to a separate input of an evaluation unit 16, while the other supply lines of the mats 8 are at a base potential.
  • each of these mats 8 forms a monitoring segment for itself, so that an emerging melt breakthrough along the circumference of the furnace lining can be indicated by the evaluation unit 16 in relation to zones or segments. This makes it possible to localize the impending fault.
  • the mats 8 can also be divided from one another in the vertical direction if it is desired to locate the impending fault location in the vertical direction of the furnace lining.
  • the two groups 12, 13 of the electrode network 7 are acted upon by a sinusoidal AC voltage, the frequency of which is between 20 and 30 Hz.
  • This frequency range has proven to be the one with the least interference due to harmonic effects, stray effects and due to the usual mains frequency of 50 Hz and the frequencies with which the inductor of an induction melting furnace is operated Switching overvoltages occur.
  • This is also related to the complexity of the electrical resistances which lie between the electrodes 11 of the two groups 12 and 13 of the electrode network 7 and which have a capacitive component which is also caused by the respective mat 8 in which the electrode network 7 in question is embedded is. False indications caused by a DC measuring voltage, which are caused by polarization phenomena in the material of the furnace lining, are avoided by the above-mentioned measuring AC voltage.
