Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for operating Li arc melting furnace and / or
  • Resistance melting furnaces / with a melting vessel for holding the melt, the lid and upper side wall of which are cooled to or including the area of the slag zone by a cooling medium, preferably water.
  • Such cooled furnaces are known in a versatile design.
  • the base of the hearth is the only uncooled area with a tendency to increased wear of the refractory lining and increased repair work on the construction elements.
  • the measure of the invention likewise to cool the lower region of the furnace, the hearth floor and the lower part of the side walls, has an overall beneficial effect on the service life of the refractory delivery and on the further structural elements of the furnace. Furthermore, the measure of the invention also exerts an advantageous cooling effect on the floor electrode
  • the cooling according to the invention takes place by means of a cooling device, which surrounds the area of the lower furnace to be cooled and through which the cooling medium flows.
  • a gaseous substance for example air or a liquid substance, for example water, can be used as the cooling medium.
  • the convection flow can be used to maintain the flow of the cooling medium within the cooling device; in the case of air cooling, the convection flow can be reinforced by a chimney which is connected to the drain opening of the cooling device. This chimney also advantageously prevents flames from entering the cooling device when the furnace is tapped.
  • cooling medium can be conveyed through the cooling device with the aid of a delivery device arranged outside the cooling device, for example a pump or a blower.
  • a delivery device arranged outside the cooling device, for example a pump or a blower.
  • the coolant can be conveyed through the cooling device in a closed circuit.
  • the heated cooling medium can then advantageously be cooled in such a way that heat recovery is possible.
  • the flow rate and the temperature of the cooling medium determine the cooling capacity of the cooling device, which is why, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cooling capacity can be adapted to the operating temperature of the furnace by changing these parameters by changing these parameters.
  • the cooling device enveloping the lower part of the furnace is designed in a simple manner according to the invention. Through a plate that corresponds to the furnace contour -. -
  • a jacket-shaped cavity is created through which the cooling medium flows.
  • the cavity has at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for the cooling medium, whereby in the case of convection flow the inlet opening is expediently to be arranged in the center at the bottom of the stove bottom and the outlet opening at the top on the side walls.
  • the inlet and outlet openings can also be arranged differently.
  • cooling fins are located within the cavity of the cooling device and are attached to the furnace wall, for example by welding. These cooling fins are designed in such a way that they ensure an optimum cooling effect without, however, significantly increasing the flow resistance of the cooling device, which is why they are expediently bent in the direction of flow.
  • a heat recovery device is arranged in the cooling circuit lines next to the conveyor for maintaining the circuit flow, in which the heated cooling medium is cooled and the heat released is used or stored.
  • a measuring and control system into which measured values of the operating temperatures of the furnace are incorporated, with this heat recovery device and connected to the conveying device in order in this way to be able to influence the temperature and the amount of the cooling medium flowing into the cooling device.
  • Fig. 2 is a Blockdi agramra a Kreislaufkü treatment.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a furnace 1 with a furnace bottom 2, lower side walls 3 on the melting vessel 4, upper side walls 5 and a lid 6.
  • the upper side walls 5 extend down to about the melting vessel 4 containing the melt and are up to this Provide area like cover 6 with water cooling 5 1 .
  • the melting vessel 4 has a fireproof lining 8 identified by the hatching and is formed by the furnace bottom 2 and the lower side walls 3.
  • the melting vessel 4 is preferably surrounded by a jacket 9 made of sheet steel, which corresponds to the contour of the outer furnace wall 7 is shaped.
  • the resulting bowl-shaped cavity forms the cooling device 10 through which the cooling medium 14 flows.
  • the coolant enters in the illustrated embodiment in the middle of the bottom of the furnace 2 via the inlet opening 12, flows in the direction of the arrow to the side walls 3 and then leaves the cooling device 10 at the upper end of the side walls 3 through the outlet openings 13.
  • Inside the cooling device 10 are for better heat transfer and arranged for the swirling of the cooling medium 14 on the furnace wall 7 in accordance with the direction of flow of the cooling medium 14 cooling fins 11.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a circuit cooling in the form of a block diagram.
  • the cooling device 10 of the furnace 1 or of the melting vessel 4 is connected at its outlet opening 13 via the outlet line 16 to a heat recovery device 18.
  • the cooling medium 14 heated during the cooling of the melting vessel 4 is cooled with heat recovery.
  • the heat recovery device 18 and the conveying device 17 are connected via control lines 21 to a measuring and regulating device 19, by means of which the conveying capacity of the conveying device 17 and the temperature of the cooling medium 14 in the heat recovery device 18 are regulated as a function of the operating state of the furnace 1 .
  • the measuring and control device 19 via a measurement data line 20 with corresponding measuring devices on the furnace (the measuring devices are not shown) connected.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing figures, which, for better clarity, have been shown with an oversized cooling device.
  • the shape and size of the cooling device, the number and arrangement of the inlet and outlet openings and the linking of the cooling device with other devices can be designed variably if the basic principle of the invention, with as little construction and cost as possible in a simple manner to bring about optimal cooling of the entire melting vessel, is observed.
