Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kühlkörper , insbesondere für die Wände des Oberofens eines Elektrolichtbogenofens oder eines Schachtofens, der der heißen Ofenatmosphäre ausgesetzt ist, mit einer auf der Heißseite den Wärmeübergang bildenden Schicht aus Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung und auf der Kaltseite aus muldenförmigen Produkten gebildeten Kühlkanälen, durch die Kühlmittel geführt sind und die auf der Kaltseite an eine Kühlmittel-Zuführung und eine Kühlmittel-Ableitung angeschlossen sind.The invention relates to a heat sink, in particular for the walls of the upper furnace an electric arc furnace or a shaft furnace, the hot furnace atmosphere is exposed, with a on the hot side forming the heat transfer Layer of copper or copper alloy and on the cold side of trough-shaped Cooling channels formed by the coolant and are guided on the Cold side connected to a coolant supply and a coolant outlet are.

Derartige Kühlkörper ersetzen etwa ab Mitte der 70er - Jahre die früher übliche ff-Ausmauerung und bilden Wandelemente in Kastenform mit Kühlmittel-Leitblechen im Innern und mit verschiedenen Formen von Schlackenhaltern an der Heißseite.Such heatsinks replace the formerly common ff lining from around the mid - 1970s and form wall elements in box shape with coolant baffles in the box Inside and with different forms of slag holders on the hot side.

Später wurden kastenförmige Wandelemente durch Rohrgebilde ersetzt. Hierbei waren die Rohre in einer sog. Rohr-an-Rohr-Bauweise senkrecht angeordnet, die jedoch nach kurzer Zeit allgemein durch eine waagerechte Anordnung abgelöst wurde. Diese Bauweise hatte den Vorteil mechanischer Stabilität, aber auch die Nachteile hoher Druckverluste und das Erfordernis des Anbringens von Schlackenhaltern, die nur eine begrenzte Lebensdauer aufweisen und häufig den Ausgangspunkt für Risse in den Rohren bildeten.Later, box-shaped wall elements were replaced by tubular structures. Here were the tubes arranged vertically in a so-called tube-to-tube construction, however after a short time was generally replaced by a horizontal arrangement. This design had the advantage of mechanical stability, but also the disadvantages high pressure drops and the need to install slag holders, the have only a limited life and often the starting point for cracks in the pipes.

Seit etwa 1990 baut eine Fachfirma ihre Wandelemente in der sog. Rohr-Spalt-Rohr-Bauweise. Die Rohre liegen horizontal und die Strömungsumkehrungen werden durch gegossene Rohrbögen gebildet. Diese Wandelemente haben keine Schlakkenhalter, weil sich das ff-Spritzmaterial in den Spalten zwischen den Rohren fest halten kann. Darüberhinaus ist der Druckverlust in dieser Art Wandelemente erheblich geringer.Since about 1990, a specialist company builds their wall elements in the so-called pipe-gap-pipe construction. The tubes are horizontal and the flow reversals become formed by cast pipe bends. These wall elements have no Schlakkenhalter, because the ff-spray material stuck in the gaps between the pipes can hold. Moreover, the pressure loss in this type of wall elements is significant lower.

Solche der heißen Ofenatmosphäre ausgesetzten Wandelemente besitzen nur eine begrenzte Lebensdauer und sind häufig von Schäden betroffen. Die Schäden können eingeteilt werden in Risse an der Rohroberfläche, Schäden durch Schrottschlag (beim Chargieren eines Elektrolichtbogenofens) Schäden durch Lichtbogenüberschlag und Funkenerosion, Schäden durch Sauerstoff und Schäden an Rückenblechen.Such exposed to the hot furnace atmosphere wall elements have only one limited lifespan and are often affected by damage. The damage can be divided into cracks on the tube surface, damage by scrap (when charging an electric arc furnace) Damage caused by arcing and spark erosion, damage from oxygen and damage to back plates.

Insofern sind die eingangs bezeichneten Kühlkörper vorteilhafter, die auch als Wandplatten in Hochöfen eingesetzt werden können.In this respect, the heat sink described at the beginning are more advantageous as well Wall panels can be used in blast furnaces.

Der eingangs bezeichnete Kühlkörper ist aus der DE 100 00 987 A1 bekannt. Dieser Kühlkörper ist jedoch aus einem geschmiedeten oder gewalzten Rohblock aus Kupfer gefertigt und die Kühlkanäle sind durch muldenförmige Walzprodukte gebildet. Von dieser Ausbildung abgesehen, ist der aus Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung bestehende Rohblock unwirtschaftlich in Anbetracht seiner Werkstoffkosten. Die beständig steigenden Leistungsanforderungen führen zu steigenden Wärmebelastungen der Kühlplatten, die im Inneren durch Zugspannungen und an der Außenwand durch Druckspannungen beansprucht sind. Bei Überschreitung der werkstoffspezifischen Spannungsgrenzen wird der Werkstoff plastisch verformt, wodurch Risse und in schweren Fällen eine Beschädigung des Kühlkörpers entstehen.The initially described heat sink is known from DE 100 00 987 A1. This However, the heat sink is made of a forged or rolled ingot of copper manufactured and the cooling channels are formed by trough-shaped rolled products. Apart from this training, which is made of copper or copper alloy Raw block uneconomical in view of its material costs. The resistant increasing power requirements lead to increasing heat loads of the Cold plates inside by tensile stresses and on the outside wall by Compressive stresses are claimed. When exceeding the material-specific Stress limits, the material is plastically deformed, whereby cracks and in severe cases damage the heat sink.

Aus der DE 29 07 511 C2 ist ein ebenfalls voll aus Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung gearbeiteter Kühlkörper mit vertikal verlaufenden Sackbohrungen durch mechanisches Tiefbohren hergestellt. Die Werkstoffkosten und die Bearbeitung sind entsprechend unwirtschaftlich. From DE 29 07 511 C2 is also a full copper or a copper alloy machined heat sink with vertical blind holes by mechanical Deep drilling made. The material costs and processing are corresponding uneconomical.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine beanspruchungsfähige Bauform mit wirtschaftlich kostengünstig herstellbaren Bauteilen zu schaffen, dabei an Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung zu sparen und eine hohe Standzeit zu erreichen.The invention is based on the object, a claimable design with to create economically inexpensive to produce components, while copper or to save copper alloy and achieve a long service life.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass eine der Heißseite zugeordnete, in ihrer Dicke bestimmbare Platte oder Rahmenplatte aus Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung, mittels einer dauerhaft elastischen Abdichtung verschlossen ist, wobei eine Vielzahl von muldenförmigen, parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Längsprofile entweder in der Dicke der Platte oder der Rahmenplatte oder in der dauerhaft elastischen Abdichtung als Kühlkanäle vorgesehen sind und dass die Platte oder Rahmenplatte mit einer aus Eisen- oder Stahlwerkstoffen bestehenden, die Kaltseite bildenden Abdeckplatte dicht verbindbar ist. Dadurch wird nur ein geringer Anteil am Werkstoff Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung benötigt und der wesentlich geringer beanspruchte Teil auf der Kaltseite kann aus kostengünstigem Werkstoff hergestellt werden. Die Vielzahl der muldenförmigen Längsprofile bewirkt eine flächenhaft gleichmäßigere Ableitung der Wärme an das Kühlmedium. Die Beanspruchungsfähigkeit des Kühlkörpers ist insgesamt höher.The stated object is achieved in that one of the hot side assigned, in its thickness determinable plate or frame plate made of copper or Copper alloy, closed by a permanently elastic seal, wherein a plurality of trough-shaped, arranged parallel to each other Longitudinal profiles either in the thickness of the plate or the frame plate or in the permanently elastic sealing are provided as cooling channels and that the Plate or frame plate with one of iron or steel materials, the cold side forming cover plate is tightly connected. This will only be a minor Share of copper or copper alloy material needed and the much lower stressed part on the cold side can be made of inexpensive material become. The variety of trough-shaped longitudinal profiles causes a planar more uniform dissipation of heat to the cooling medium. The load capacity of the heat sink is higher overall.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die elastische Abdichtung aus wärmeleitendem Kunststoff, wärmebeständigem Gummi oder aus einer Metallmembrane. Die Abdichtung begrenzt erfindungsgemäß den Kühlkanal oder mehrere Kühlkanäle und wird dadurch mittels des Kühlmittels selbst gekühlt. Aus diesem Grund besteht ein Schutz gegen Wärmebelastung, so dass derartig elastische Materiallen dauerhaft eingesetzt werden können.In an embodiment of the invention, the elastic seal consists of thermally conductive Plastic, heat-resistant rubber or a metal membrane. The Sealing limited according to the invention the cooling channel or more cooling channels and is thereby cooled by the coolant itself. For this reason, there is one Protection against heat stress, so that such elastic materials permanently can be used.

Eine Weiterbildung besteht darin, dass das Verhältnis der Wanddicken der Abdeckplatte zu der Platte aus Kupfer oder Kupferlegierung gleich oder kleiner 1 ist. A further development is that the ratio of the wall thicknesses of the cover plate to the plate of copper or copper alloy is equal to or less than 1.

Eine relativ dünne Abdeckplatte oder eine entsprechend beanspruchungsfähige Abdeckplatte entsteht dadurch, dass die Abdeckplatte mittels nach außen vorstehenden Rippen verstärkt ist.A relatively thin cover plate or a corresponding claimable cover plate arises from the fact that the cover plate by means of outwardly projecting Ribs is reinforced.

Weitere Merkmale sind dadurch gegeben, dass die Abdeckplatte mit der Platte oder der Rahmenplatte aus Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung am Außenumfang verschweißt sind.Other features are given by the fact that the cover plate with the plate or the frame plate made of copper or a copper alloy welded to the outer circumference are.

Eine andere Verbesserung der Erfindung wird dadurch geschaffen, dass die dauerhaft elastische Abdichtung mittels Rippen versehen ist, die der Platte oder der Rahmenplatte aus Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung zugewandt, die Kühlkanäle aus den Langprofilen bilden. Dadurch kann die Abdichtung selbst versteift werden und die Elastizität der Abdichtung bleibt dauerhaft erhalten.Another improvement of the invention is provided by the permanent elastic seal is provided by ribs, that of the plate or the frame plate made of copper or a copper alloy, the cooling channels from the Form long profiles. As a result, the seal itself can be stiffened and the Elasticity of the seal is permanently maintained.

Die Kühlkanäle in der Abdeckplatte und / oder der Abdichtung können als Rippen im Querschnitt eine Dreiecksform, eine Halbkreisform oder eine Trapezform bilden. Im allgemeinen sind hier polygonale oder runde Querschnitts- oder Querschnittsmischformen vorteilhaft.The cooling channels in the cover plate and / or the seal can be used as ribs in the Cross section form a triangular shape, a semicircular shape or a trapezoidal shape. in the general are here polygonal or round cross-sectional or cross-sectional mixing forms advantageous.

Dabei kann vorteilhafterweise eine weitere Ausgestaltung derart vorgenommen sein, dass entweder der Hohlraum innerhalb der Dreiecksform, der Halbkreisform oder der Trapezform die Kühlkanäle bilden oder die jeweils zwischen zwei Rippen liegenden Nebenräume.In this case, advantageously, a further embodiment be made such that either the cavity within the triangular shape, the semicircular shape or the Trapezoidal form the cooling channels or each lying between two ribs Outbuildings.

The plate 9 or the frame plate 9a carries the heat to the individual cooling channels 4, which consist of the plurality of trough-shaped, parallel juxtaposed long sections 4a.
In this case, as a cooling channel 4, either a cavity 19 (FIG. 3A) of the long profile 4a or an auxiliary space 20 formed by two adjacent long profiles 4a can be used as flow channels.

Die Platte 9 oder die Rahmenplatte 9a werden durch eine dauerhaft elastische Abdichtung 10 verschlossen, wobei auf der Kaltseite 6 eine aus Eisen- oder Stahlwerkstoffen 11 bestehende Abdeckplatte 12 fest mit der Platte 9 oder der Rahmenplatte 9a bspw. am Außenumfang 9b durch Schweißen oder wie gezeichnet mittels Schrauben 12a verbunden sind.

Diese Ausführungsform sieht hohle Längsprofile 4a vor, so dass zwischen jeweils zwei Längsprofilen 4a Kühlmittel durch einen Nebenraum 20 vorwärts und durch den Hohlraum 19 der Langprofile 4a zurück strömen kann.FIG. 3A shows a second alternative embodiment of the heat sink 1, being on the hot side 2 within the layer 3 of copper or copper alloy in Form of the frame plate 9 a recess is provided, in turn as Matt the permanently elastic seal 10 with a variety of long products 4a inserted and by means of the cover plate 12 made of iron or steel materials 11th and screws 12 is attached. This embodiment sees hollow longitudinal profiles 4a before, so that between each two longitudinal profiles 4a coolant through an adjoining room 20 forward and back flow through the cavity 19 of the long sections 4a can.

Gemäß Fig. 4A befinden sich Längsprofile 4a in der Ausnehmung der Rahmenplatte 9a mit einer Halbkreisform 17 im Querschnitt und bilden zwischen jeweils zwei Langprofilen 4a einen Kühlkanal 15. Die Langprofile 4a bilden über verbindende Stege wiederum die dauerhaft elastische Abdichtung als Matte. In Fig. 4B sind die Grundflächen der Strömungskanäle 15 ersichtlich.According to FIG. 4A, longitudinal profiles 4a are located in the recess of the frame plate 9a with a semicircular shape 17 in cross section and form between two long profiles 4a a cooling channel 15. The long sections 4a form connecting webs again the permanently elastic sealing as a mat. In Fig. 4B, the bases are the flow channels 15 can be seen.

Eine vierte Alternative geht aus den Fig. 5A und 5B hervor: Die Langprofile 4a besitzen Trapezform 18 im Querschnitt, wobei wiederum zwischen jeweils zwei Langprofilen 4a ein Kühlkanal 15 für den Vorlauf und das Innere der Trapezform 18 für den Rücklauf des Kühlmittels (oder umgekehrt) verbunden werden kann.A fourth alternative is shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B: the long profiles 4a have Trapezoidal shape 18 in cross section, again between each two long profiles 4a a cooling channel 15 for the flow and the interior of the trapezoidal mold 18 for the Return of the coolant (or vice versa) can be connected.

In allen Ausführungsformen entsteht ein flacher, rechteckförmiger und kompakter Kühlkörper 1, der wenig Raum beansprucht und leicht einzubauen ist. In all embodiments, a flat, rectangular and compact arises Heatsink 1, which takes up little space and easy to install.
