Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Haubenofen, insbesondere zum Glühen von Stahlblechbunden unter Schutzgas mit einer Schutzhaube, die die Stahlblechbunde umgibt, mit einer Kühlhaube, die unter Bildung eines Zwischenraumes die Schutzhaube konzentrisch umgibt und die einen Kühlhaubenmantel und eine Kühlhaubendecke aufweist, wobei die Kühlhaube mit einer Vielzahl von Luftdüsen versehen ist, derart, daß Kühlluft in Form von Prallstrahlen auf die Schutzhaube auftritt und mit mindestens einem Ventilator zur Erzeugung einer Kühlluft-Strömung im Zwischenraum.The invention relates to a hood furnace, in particular for annealing steel sheet coils under protective gas with a protective hood that surrounds the steel sheet bundles with a cooling hood which concentrically forms the protective hood to form a space surrounds and which has a cooling hood jacket and a cooling hood ceiling, wherein the cooling hood is provided with a plurality of air nozzles such that cooling air occurs in the form of impact beams on the protective hood and with at least one fan to generate a cooling air flow in the space.

Derartige Haubenöfen werden insbesondere zum Blankglühen kaltgewalzter Stahlbleche in Form von Bunden sog. Coils in Schutzgasatmosphäre verwendet.Such hood furnaces are used in particular for bright annealing cold-rolled steel sheets used in the form of coils in a protective gas atmosphere.

Während des Glühprozesses befindet sich über der Schutzhaube eine Heizhaube. Nach dem Glühen wird die Heizhaube entfernt und durch eine Kühlhaube ersetzt.During the annealing process, there is a heating hood over the protective hood. After the annealing, the heating hood is removed and replaced by a cooling hood.

Ein Haubenofen der eingangs genannten Art ist in der AT-B-396 525 beschrieben. Über die ganze Höhe der Kühlhaube sind Luftdurchtrittsöffnungen für gegen die Schutzhaube gerichtete Prallstrahlen verteilt. Die Coils stehen üblicherweise durch Konvektorplatten getrennt übereinander. Die Volumenströme durch die Konvektorkanäle sind für die unteren Coils im Stapel deutlich größer als für die obersten Coils. Daraus erfolgt, daß unterliegende Coils beim Kühlen bevorzugt und oberliegende Coils benachteiligt werden. Der Kühlprozess kann erst beendet werden, wenn im Kern des obersten Coils die für das Kühlende festgelegte max. Temperatur unterschritten wird, so daß der Kühlprozess relativ lange dauert.A hood furnace of the type mentioned is described in AT-B-396 525. about the entire height of the cooling hood are air passage openings for against the Protective hood directed impact beams distributed. The coils usually endure Convector panels separated one above the other. The volume flows through the Convector channels are significantly larger for the lower coils in the stack than for the uppermost ones Coils. It follows that underlying coils are preferred for cooling and overlying ones Coils are disadvantaged. The cooling process can only be ended when the Core of the uppermost coil the max. temperature is fallen short of, so that the cooling process takes a relatively long time.

Aus der WO 95/20058 ist eine Kühlhaube bekannt, bei der ausschließlich im unteren Höhendrittel Luftdüsen angeordnet sind. Die Kühlwirkung ist nicht optimal, da nur im unteren Bereich eine Kühlung stattfindet.A cooling hood is known from WO 95/20058, in which only the lower Three-thirds of the air jets are arranged. The cooling effect is not optimal, since only in cooling takes place in the lower area.

Die Aufgabe besteht demgemäß darin, einen Haubenofen der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Kühlung verbessert, insbesondere die Kühldauer verringert wird.The task is accordingly a hood oven of the type mentioned to develop so that the cooling improves, in particular reduces the cooling time becomes.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß sich der Düsenabstand der Luftdüsen von unten nach oben vergrößert, wobei der Düsenabstand im Kühlhaubenmantel das 4- bis 12fache des Düsendurchmessers beträgt und daß der Düsenabstand der Luftdüsen in der Kühlhaubendecke das 4- bis 7fache des Düsendurchmessers beträgt. Es ist konstruktiv besonders einfach, wenn sich der Düsenabstand der Luftdüsen des Kühlhaubenmantels von unten nach oben kontinuierlich vergrößert.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the nozzle spacing of the air nozzles enlarged from bottom to top, the nozzle spacing in Cooling hood jacket is 4 to 12 times the nozzle diameter and that the Nozzle spacing of the air nozzles in the cooling hood ceiling is 4 to 7 times the nozzle diameter is. It is structurally particularly simple if the nozzle spacing changes of the cooling hood jacket air nozzles is continuously enlarged from bottom to top.

Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Düsendurchmesser von unten nach oben zu verkleinern. Allerdings ist diese Lösung konstruktiv aufwendig.There is also the option of reducing the nozzle diameter from bottom to top. However, this solution is structurally complex.

Aus der DE-C-3433433 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Erwärmen oder Kühlen von metallischem Gut bekannt, bei der Düsen für ein Medium direkt auf die Gutoberfläche gerichtet sind. Der Gesamtquerschnitt der Düsenöffnungen nimmt in Abströmrichtung des Mediums ab. Damit soll eine gleichmäßige Wärmeübertragung über die gesamte Gutoberfläche erreicht werden.DE-C-3433433 describes a device for heating or cooling known metallic good, with the nozzles for a medium directly on the good surface are directed. The total cross section of the nozzle openings increases in the outflow direction of the medium. This is to ensure even heat transfer across the entire Good surface can be reached.

Der konvektive Wärmeübergang an den Coil-Seitenflächen ist bestimmt durch den Volumenstrom des umgewälzten Schutzgases und dem freien Störmungsquerschnitt des Ringspaltes zwischen Schutzhaube und den Coils. Da ein Teil des Schutzgas-Stromes durch die Konvektorplatten über die Coilkanten strömt, wird die für den Wärmeübergang bestimmende Geschwindigkeit des Schutzgases von unten nach oben immer kleiner. Daher wird erfindungsgemäß auch die Kühlwirkung auf die Schutzhaube durch Vergrößerung des Abstandes der Luftdüsen im Kühlhaubenmantel von unten nach oben verringert.The convective heat transfer on the side of the coil is determined by the volume flow of the circulating protective gas and the free interference cross section of the Annular gap between the protective hood and the coils. Because part of the shielding gas flow flows through the convector plates over the coil edges, which is used for heat transfer determining speed of the protective gas from bottom to top getting smaller. Therefore, according to the invention, the cooling effect on the protective hood is also increased the distance of the air nozzles in the cooling hood jacket from bottom to top reduced.

Die Schutzgas-Strömung ändert an der obersten Stelle der Schutzhauben ihre Richtung, wodurch die Turbulenz und damit der konvektive Wärmeübergang zur Kühlhaubendecke deutlich größer ist als derjenige zwischen Schutzhaube und Kühlhaubenmantel im Bereich des vertikalen Ringspalt zwischen Coil und der Schutzhaube. Zusätzlich findet ein nennenswerter Stahlungswärme-Austausch zwischen Schutzhaube und der obersten Coilkante statt. Daher ist zusätzlich die Kühlhaubendecke mit einer Vielzahl von Luftdüsen zu versehen, um hier eine intensive Kühlung zu erreichen.The protective gas flow changes direction at the top of the protective hood, whereby the turbulence and thus the convective heat transfer to the cooling hood ceiling is significantly larger than that between the protective hood and the cooling hood jacket in the area of the vertical annular gap between the coil and the protective hood. additionally finds a significant exchange of radiation heat between the protective hood and the top coil edge instead. Therefore, the cooling hood ceiling with an additional To provide a variety of air nozzles in order to achieve intensive cooling here.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß die Kühlung der Coils optimiert wird, wodurch sich der Kühlprozeß verkürzt.The solution according to the invention has the advantage that the cooling of the coils is optimized, which shortens the cooling process.

Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin, daß die Antriebsleistung des Ventilators relativ gering sein kann. Dementsprechend ist die Lärmbelastung vergleichsweise klein. It is also advantageous that the drive power of the fan be relatively low can. Accordingly, the noise pollution is comparatively small.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist der Haubenofen dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Länge der Luftdüsen des Kühlhaubenmantels das 5- bis 7-fache des Düsendurchmessers beträgt.According to a further feature of the invention, the hood furnace is characterized in that that the length of the air nozzles of the cooling hood jacket is 5 to 7 times the nozzle diameter is.

Diesem Merkmal liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß ein besonders kühlwirksamer Prallstrahl entsteht, wenn in den Luftdüsen eine voll ausgebildete Rohrströmung entsteht.This characteristic is based on the knowledge that a particularly cooling effect Impact jet occurs when a fully developed tube flow is created in the air nozzles.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Eintrittsöffnung der Luftdüsen abgerundet ist. Dadurch werden Druckverluste verringert.An advantageous embodiment is that the inlet opening of the air nozzles is rounded. This reduces pressure losses.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal beträgt die Geschwindigkeit der Kühlluft in den Luftdüsen zwischen ca. 10 bis 40 m/s, vorzugsweise 15 bis 30 m/s. According to another characteristic the speed of the cooling air in the air nozzles between approx. 10 to 40 m / s, preferably 15 to 30 m / s.

Vorteilhafterweise beträgt die Geschwindigkeit der Kühlluft in den Luftdüsen mindestens das 3fache der Geschwindigkeit der Strömung der Kühlluft im Zwischenraum. Die Geschwindigkeit der vertikalen Strömung im Zwischenraum muß relativ klein sein, um zu erreichen, daß die Geschwindigkeit der Kühlluft in allen Luftdüsen im Kühlhaubenmantel möglichst gleich groß ist. Die Breite des Zwischenraums wird daher so groß wie möglich gewählt. Der obere Teil der Kühlhaube kann außerdem einen größeren Außendurchmesser aufweisen, als der untere Teil, um die Geschwindigkeit der Strömung zu reduzieren.The speed of the cooling air in the air nozzles is advantageously at least 3 times the speed of the cooling air flow in the space. The Velocity of the vertical flow in the space must be relatively small in order to to achieve that the speed of the cooling air in all air nozzles in the cooling hood jacket is as large as possible. The width of the space is therefore as large as possible chosen. The upper part of the cooling hood can also have a larger outer diameter have than the lower part to the speed of the flow to reduce.

The one put over the protective hood Heater hood is also not shown. After the annealing process is finished, the The heating hood is replaced by a cooling hood 2 which forms a gap 3 surrounds the protective hood 1 concentrically.

    Die Kühlhaube 2 weist einen zylindrischen Kühlhaubenmantel 4 und eine Kühlhaubendecke 5 auf. An dem Kühlhaubenmantel 4 ist seitlich ein Ventilator 6 axialer oder radialer Bauart angeordnet.The cooling hood 2 has a cylindrical cooling hood jacket 4 and a cooling hood cover 5 on. On the cooling hood jacket 4, a fan 6 is laterally axial or radial Design arranged.

    Der Kühlhaubenmantel 4 ist über seine gesamte Höhe mit Luftdüsen 7 versehen. Die unterste Düsenreihe ist 300 - 600 mm über dem Schutzhauben-Flansch angebracht. Der Düsenabstand a von Mitte Luftdüse 7 zur Mitte einer benachbarten Luftdüse 7 vergrößert sich von unten nach oben kontinuierlich. Er beträgt das 4- bis 12-fache des Düsendurchmessers d, der 40 - 100 mm beträgt.The cooling hood jacket 4 is provided with air nozzles 7 over its entire height. The the bottom row of nozzles is located 300 - 600 mm above the protective hood flange. The nozzle distance a from the center of the air nozzle 7 to the center of an adjacent air nozzle 7 increases continuously from bottom to top. It is 4 to 12 times the Nozzle diameter d, which is 40 - 100 mm.

    In Fig. 2 ist dargestellt, daß zusätzlich die Kühlhaubendecke 5 mit einer Vielzahl von Luftdüsen 7 versehen ist, wobei der Düsenabstand a das 4- bis 7-fache des Düsendurchmessers d beträgt. Dadurch wird der als Klöpperboden ausgebildete oberste Teil der Schutzhaube 8 intensiv gekühlt.In Fig. 2 it is shown that in addition the cooling hood ceiling 5 with a variety of Air nozzles 7 is provided, the nozzle spacing a being 4 to 7 times the nozzle diameter d is. As a result, the uppermost part, which is designed as a lace the protective hood 8 cooled intensively.

    Die Luftdüsen 7 ragen von der zylindrischen Kühlmantelfläche 4 aus radial nach innen. Die Länge der Luftdüsen 7 beträgt das 5- bis 7-fache des Düsendurchmessers. in Fig. 3 ist dargestellt, daß die Eintrittsöffnungen der Luftdüsen mit der Außenwand des Kühlhaubenmantels im wesentlichen bündig und abgerundet sind, um Druckverluste zu vermeiden.The air nozzles 7 project radially inwards from the cylindrical cooling jacket surface 4. The length of the air nozzles 7 is 5 to 7 times the nozzle diameter. in Fig. 3 is shown that the inlet openings of the air nozzles with the outer wall of the The cooling hood jacket is essentially flush and rounded in order to reduce pressure losses avoid.

    Die Geschwindigkeit der Kühlluft in den Luftdüsen beträgt zwischen 10 bis 40 m/s, vorzugsweise 15 bis 30 m/s.The speed of the cooling air in the air nozzles is between 10 to 40 m / s, preferably 15 to 30 m / s.

    Der Ventilator 6 saugt Kühlluft durch den Zwischenraum 3 und führt die erwärmte Luft nach oben ab. Die Einlauföffnung 9 zum Ventilator 6 im Zwischenraum 3 zwischen Kühlhaube 2 und Schutzhaube 1 ist abgerundet.

    Die Prallströmung aus den Luftdüsen mit der aus der Umgebung angesaugten kalten Luft ist für die Kühlung hochwirksam, wobei die Kühlwirkung von unten nach oben abnimmt. Die Strömung der Luft von unten nach oben im Zwischenraum trägt kaum zum Kühlprozeß bei, sondern dient lediglich dazu, die sich erwärmende Kühlluft nach oben abzuführen.The baffle flow from the air nozzles with the cold one drawn in from the environment Air is highly effective for cooling, with the cooling effect decreasing from bottom to top. The flow of air from bottom to top in the space hardly contributes to it Cooling process, but only serves to warm the cooling air upwards dissipate.

So kann der obere Teil der Kühlhaube 2 einen größeren Außendurchmesser aufweisen, als der untere Teil.Within the scope of the invention, modification options are readily available.
