Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regelung des Durchflusses durch einen Bodenausguss eines metallurgischen Gefäßes mit einer im Boden des metallurgischen Gefäßes angeordneten oberen Düse und einer unterhalb der oberen Düse angeordneten unteren Düse, mit mindestens einer Inertgaseinlassöffnung und mit an oder in der unteren Düse angeordnetem Sensor zur Bestimmung der Schichtdicke von Festsetzungen (clogging) in der Düse, wobei die Inertgaszufuhr in den Bodenausguss geregelt wird anhand der Messsignale des Sensors. Sie betrifft weiterhin einen Bodenausguss für ein metallurgisches Gefäß mit einer im Boden eines metallurgischen Gefäßes angeordneten oberen Düse und einer unterhalb der oberen Düse angeordneten unteren Düse, wobei die Wand der Durchflussöffnung durch die Düsen zumindest metallschmelzflussdicht ausgebildet ist, wobei die Düsen zumindest teilweise von einem gasdichten Gehäuse umgeben sind, das Gehäuse an seinem unteren Ende die untere Düse an ihrem Umfang gasdicht umschließt, wobei es mit einem Teil seiner Innenseite an der Außenseite der Düse anliegt und zwischen der Wand der Durchflussöffnung und dem Gehäuse ein thermisch isolierender Feststoff angeordnet ist.
