Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tube mold for continuously casting metal strands in billet or billet format, which has an internal, exchangeable mold tube with a holding device, surrounding the mold tube Wasserleitmantel and a head flange at the pouring end and a gravitational force at the pouring end.
- the present invention further relates to an operating ⁇ method for continuously casting metal strands in billet or billet format with a tube mold having an internal, exchangeable mold tube with a holding device, surrounding the mold tube Wasserleitmantel and a head flange at the inflow end and a participatedflansch at the pouring end comprising the method steps
- molds comprise an inner mold tube, which forms a mold which is open on both sides, through which the cast metal passes during the casting process and which is surrounded by a water-conducting jacket.
- the mold tube is usually made of a piece of metal - usually made of a copper alloy - with a constant wall thickness. It accordingly has an inner side facing the cast metal strand and an outer side facing the Wasserleitmantel and a pour-in and a pouring end. It forms with its outside the cross-sectional shape of the pre-block material and can either be formed straight along the casting direction or have a slight curvature.
- the so-called water gap is formed, which serves to guide a cooling medium - usually water - along the outer surface of the mold tube and so dissipate sufficient casting heat from the molten metal in the interior of the mold tube, to allow the formation of a strand shell in the molten metal at a given casting speed.
- the heat removal to the cooling medium depends on the extent of the contact surface, the temperature difference between the Kokhl- lenrohrober Assembly and the cooling medium and the heat transfer coefficient, which in turn is influenced by the flow geometry and the flow rate of the cooling medium. Since for practical reasons, the temperature of the cooling medium can not be chosen arbitrarily low - the cooling water at steel-producing plants usually has a temperature of up to 40 ° C - can be ensured sufficient cooling effect only by a correspondingly high flow rate of the cooling medium.
- the Wasserleitmantel can be embedded only as a flow leading part for the cooling liquid in a water tank, the water tank over a larger supply and drainage reservoir with the corresponding connections for the
- a generic continuous casting mold is known from DE 32 07 149 C1, comprising, inter alia, a mold tube, an upper and a lower flange plate, a Wasserleitmantel and a water tank.
- the mold tube, the upper and the lower flange plate and the Wasserleitmantel be connected to form a unit, wherein the Wasserleitmantel is attached via connec ⁇ tion elements on the upper and lower flange plate and centered relative to the inner Kokillenrohr (see FIG. 1).
- a mold of the type described does not have separate means for centering the water jacket relative to the mold tube, so that accurate alignment, which is essential to achieve a uniform cooling effect, is correspondingly time consuming.
- the water box has at its lower end a centering guide for receiving the lower flange plate, so that the unit is centered as a whole in the water tank. Further, the water box is sealed by the lower flange plate in its lower end region and sealed so against cooling water outlet.
- any electromagnetic stirring coils must be mounted in its water-flowed interior space (see Fig. 2), which means an increased design effort for sealing feedthroughs for the electrical connections as well as a corresponding amount of work involved in replacement of the mold tube.
- DE 38 19 492 AI also describes a continuous casting mold for casting billets, which has an inner Kokillenrohr which is connected via a base and a cover plate with a water tank and internally has a Wasserleitmantel, the outer surface of the Kokillenrohres a flow gap for the cooling medium formed.
- a circular ring cylindrical stainless steel housing is installed, which controllable at least two separated, includes one above the other lying ⁇ agitating means for generating a rotating electromagnetic force field. The separate control of the two agitators allows the use of both free-jet casting and immersion tube casting without retooling the mold.
- the Wasserleitmantel has the appropriate connections for the inlet and outlet of the coolant and the mold tube is connected, for example, at the inflow end by a head flange and at the pouring end by a foot flange with the Wasserleitmantel.
- the cooling effect on the surface of the mold tube must be as uniform as possible: for this, the co ⁇ killenrohr must be installed as symmetrical as possible in the surrounding Wasserleitmantel, so that a uniform water gap is formed, including what are generally known Centering screws are used. Since the mold tube - in particular with a small wall thickness - during the casting process due to the pressurization of the cooling medium and due to the thermal stress of the cast metal strand can deform and the centering on the mold tube only a force in the form of compressive stress, but not in the form of tensile stress exercise, the centering of the mold tube can be lost in the water gap, which can lead to uneven growth of the strand shell and thus quality losses.
- the wall thickness of the mold tube must be chosen ⁇ accordingly large to counteract undesirable deformations.
- tubular molds are often provided with a electromag- netic stirring device in the form of electrical coil with an iron core.
- the coils In order to achieve a sufficiently large Indukti ⁇ ons Koch in the molten metal and to minimize the induced eddy currents in electrically conductive components of the mold, which lead to an undesirable heating and thus represent a power loss in the material of the mold itself, the coils must be as close to the mold tube be introduced, which is a design difficulty because of the intermediate cooling device.
- EP 0117115 Bl describes such a stirring device for continuous casting molds in the pre-block format, wherein the stirring device 8, 9 according to claim 1 and Fig. 4 in a region below the serzuflus s- and water drainage passages 7a and 7b, which are located at the upper Kokillenende positioned is.
- the mold includes a copper plate forming the Gellohöhlung 2, a copper plate connected to the Au ⁇ .schild 3 and a frame 4 which supports the outer shield and the copper plate and to which said agitator is mounted on a flange 15 °.
- the cooling water is passed through various chambers and passages of the outer shield and the frame to the outer surface of the copper plate, which causes a relatively complex structure in the production and maintenance.
- the stirring device is part of the mold itself and thus has to be made separately for each individual mold.
- a tube mold for billet formats which has an electromagnetic stirring device and has at the place of a the mold tube to ⁇ closing Wasserleitmantels cooling ducts inside the wall of the mold tube are placed itself, see Z.25 - 28 S.ll and Figures 2 and 5a. Since no water tank or Wasserleitmantel is present in this construction, which ensures the necessary me ⁇ chanical stability of the Kokillenrohrs, and there further the water channels, which have a diameter of 8 - 16mm according to claim 11 and at a minimum distance of 5 to 20mm from the inside of the mold tube are arranged (see 30 in FIG 5a), the mold wall has a significantly increased wall thickness and thus a higher material requirement.
- the mold tube according to claim 9 along the edges webs for stiffening, see also 27 in FIG 5a. Since the mold tube also has a length of 1050 to 1500mm according to claim 8, the production - in particular the cooling channels in the casting direction and their separate water supply and drainage according to p. 13, Z.24 - 26 - is correspondingly expensive, see also 22a, 23a and 22b, 23b in FIG 2. Together with the increased material requirements, therefore, results for the production of such a mold, a corresponding economic and technical effort.
- Preferential channel S.ll Z.8
- additional reinforcements 27 are provided along the edges (see p.10 Z.25-27) consists predominantly of copper and therefore has only a relatively low mechanical strength, has no mechanical support on the flat surfaces of the outside, an increased wall thickness is necessary to prevent excessive deformation due to the pressure aufschlagung the cooling liquid and due to the thermal stresses during the casting process to avoid. Therefore, this variant is expensive to manufacture or limited to smaller cross- sectional formats, if the wall thickness should not exceed certain economic limits.
- cooling-liquid velocities of up to 28 m / s cited in WO 0041830 A1 to S .12 in S4-5 can only be achieved with very high technical complexity, since the pressure loss during the flow process of a liquid increases quadratically with the flow velocity.
- Wasserleitmantel consists according to the invention disclosed therein in molds with rectangular cross section of four support plates bolted together, which form a narrow gap to the copper pipe and are connected thereto via webs and ribs.
- the water flow via cooling channels, which in the outside of the copper tube or in the inside of the
- Support plates are milled (see claim 2, 3 and FIG 6) or by support ribs or connecting webs are formed (see claim 9 and FIG 4).
- a Kokillenkonstrutation is known, which according to claim 1 and FIG 4 a mold tube ("shape" 202 ) and a cooling jacket 204 to form a narrow comprises flow ⁇ gap 210 for a coolant along the outer surface of the mold tube within an outer housing assembly 208, the cooling jacket via an intermediate tubular structure 206, and special coupling means 216 in a non-rigid type with the housing assembly couples and wherein the cooling jacket via radially acting adjusting means 212 for adjusting the flow gap has to mold tube.
- the mold tube experiences no mechanical support except at the upper and lower end, it must be made correspondingly solid to counteract the thermal stresses during the casting process. Because therefore on the one hand, the wall thickness must be chosen to be correspondingly large for larger cross sections, but on the other hand, on the other hand, the temperature load on the inside of the mold tube increases and for the
- Moldings used copper alloys are limited in this regard, this configuration of a continuous casting mold on smaller cross-sections, primarily billet formats, be ⁇ limits.
- a tube mold of the type mentioned is configured by
- a tube mold as main components be an internal one
- Mold tube with a holding device, an outer Wasserleitmantel, a pouring-side head flange and a pour-out foot flange comprises.
- the mold tube and the Wasserleitmantel are shaped so that a uniform, annular water gap is formed between them in the assembled state of the tube mold, is passed through the cooling ⁇ liquid for dissipating heat from the cast metal strand. Since the local heat dissipation through thedeflüs ⁇ stechnik is significantly influenced by the geometry of this gap and should be as uniformly along the circumference of Ko ⁇ killenrohres, according to the invention extends in a cross section through the tube mold perpendicular to the casting direction, the inside of the water jacket substantially concentric with the outside of the mold tube.
- the Wasserleitmantel is formed with a suffi ⁇ cal wall thickness, so that it forms a uniform water gap for the circulation of cooling fluid with the outside of the mold tube and at the same time mechanical support for the inner mold tube is used: this is given a design that allows to move ⁇ electromagnetic stirring coils as close as possible to the molten metal and to achieve a corresponding efficiency.
- the Wasserleitmantel according to the invention consists of non-magnetic material, which minimizes unwanted, caused by the stirring coils eddy currents in the mold material itself.
- the material of the water jacket is preferably austenitic stainless steel, such as chromium-nickel steel of the type 1.4301.
- the mold tube near its feed end has a holding device which serves as a mechanical stop when introduced into the Wasserleitmantel, wherein the mold tube penetrates simultaneously with its pouring end mounted on the pouring end of the Wasserleitmantels foot ⁇ flange.
- the holding device can be embodied, for example, as a retaining ring which is fastened in a groove of the mold tube and comes to rest on a corresponding step-shaped cutout along the inside at the inflowing end of the water-conducting jacket.
- the holding device can be embodied, for example, as a retaining ring which is fastened in a groove of the mold tube and comes to rest on a corresponding step-shaped cutout along the inside at the inflowing end of the water-conducting jacket.
- the top flange and the foot flange are each firmly connected to the Wasserleitmantel, which can be done for example by means of suitable screw and the connection between Wasserleitmantel and constitutionalflansch must not be solved in a possible exchange of the mold tube.
- the mold tube is thus connected via the head flange, the base flange and the holding device with the Wasserleitmantel.
- the thus configured connection between die tube and Wasserleitmantel also has targeted mechanical tolerances and is therefore flexible, which on the one hand, the centering of the Kokillenrohres allowed in Wasserleitmantel and on the other hand allowed the thermal expansion of the mold tube in the casting direction. This is of importance because the mold tube is heated much stronger than the Wasserleitmantel during the casting operation and therefore has a greater thermal expansion than this, which would lead to unwanted mechanical stresses and deformations of the mold tube in a rigid connection.
- the mold tube When introducing the mold tube into the water jacket, it must be ensured that the mold tube is symmetrically positioned in the water jacket, so that a uniform water gap to the inside of the water jacket occurs in a cross section through the tube mold perpendicular to the casting direction: this can be achieved, for example, by additional holes in the water jacket with suitable measuring means be checked, the holes after checking the correct centering again with appropriate means, such as Blanking screws or blanking plugs must be closed to seal the cooling liquid circuit.
- the said holding device between Kokillenrohr and Wasserleitmantel is designed as a retaining ring, which is mounted in an outer groove of the Kokillenrohres at the eing cord workedem end and comes to rest on a corresponding cutout along the inner edge at the inflow-side end of the Wasserleitmantels.
- this ring has a rectangular cross section in the radial direction and has in the radial and vertical directions said tolerances in the range of 0.2-2mm, preferably 0.5mm in the radial direction and 1mm in the vertical direction.
- the invention provides that the Wasserleitmantel is made of one piece, in which the mold tube can be introduced as a whole: this must be solved or produced when changing the Kokillenrohres only the mechanical connections between Kokillenrohr, Wasserleitmantel, head flange and additionallyflansch
- the Wasserleitmantel can be permanently assembled from several items - it can be welded together, for example, from several plates or mold pipe parts.
- the wall thickness of the mold tube is essentially a ⁇ uniformly and for example, 20mm
- the gap between the outer surface of the mold tube and the inner surface of the What ⁇ serleitmantels is in the range of a few millimeters, for example 4 - 5 mm
- the pressure of the liquid cooling medium is typically of several bars, for example, 6 bar and the
- Flow rate of the cooling medium is typically in a range of 6 - 10m / s, wherein the flow of the cooling medium is from the lower, strand outlet end of the mold upwards, in the direction of the pouring end.
- the present invention enables billet and billet formats having a cross-sectional area between 0.01 and 0.36 m 2 , preferably between 0.05 and 0.1 m 2 .
- the inventive design of the mold provides connections by means of pressure screws and lag screws between Wasserleitmantel and mold tube before: while preventing the
- the thermal expansion of the mold tube can thus take place only small spaces between the fastening points of the pull and Druckschraubtagenen, but this has no significant impact on the global flow behavior of the cooling liquid; however, a large-scale adjustment of the centering of the mold tube in Wasserleitmantel, as may occur in known constructions under casting conditions in which the mold tube is attached only at the top and bottom in the water box and is centered therebetween only by pressure screws in Wasserleitmantel effectively prevented.
- the mold tube in particular for larger casting formats, can be configured such that no material-removing production steps, such as the milling of supporting webs or cooling grooves, on its outside are made. must be performed.
- simplified and the manufacturing cheaper compared to a method as 1468760 Bl is set forth for example in the invention in EP since according to the pre lying invention between Wasserleitmantel and mold tube to the tensile and Druckschraubeuren no support ⁇ ELEMENTS or grooves for guiding the cooling medium are provided.
- the present invention a higher manufacturing accuracy in terms of the shape and tolerances of Kokillenrohres possible because the mold tube is usually pulled in the production of one piece and then has very high internal material stresses that can lead to effective bending, if subsequently large area material is removed.
- the thread for the lag screws of the screw according to the invention without additional measures, such as the application of a reinforcing web to install directly in the wall of the mold tube.
- the inventive tube mold for metal strands with rectangular cross section is located along the center line in the casting direction of each of the four cast strand cross-section replicating outer surfaces of the mold tube a web on which the pressure ⁇ screw connections act or in which the threads are for the Switzerlandschraubtagenen :
- This variant is particularly suitable for smaller rectangular formats up to 200 x 200mm with high casting speed.
- a support of the mold tube by arranging the tension and compression
- the wall thickness of the Ko ⁇ killenrohres - apart from the said webs - are reduced, whereby the casting heat of the molten metal can be dissipated more quickly to the cooling medium.
- the mold tube, the holding device, the Wasserleitmantel, the head flange and the base flange are designed so that the mold tube is automatically centered in Wasserleitmantel during assembly of the mold. This can be done, for example, in that the openings of the head flange and of the base flange which receive the mold tube and the corresponding pouring-side or outflow-side portions on the outer surface of the mold tube are designed as clearance fits to one another. The tolerance of the fits is usually fractions of a millimeter.
- the mold tube is positioned in the water jacket with an accuracy that corresponds to ⁇ least the fit tolerance when inserting the mold tube in the Wasserleitmantel to which the rigorousflansch is already attached, and in the fixation of the Kokillenrohrs in Wasserleitmantel through the head flange.
- the sealing rings which seal the water gap against coolant leaks, increase ⁇ due to their form-locking position between the mold tube and the head flange and the foot flange the accuracy of the centering, in addition, so at a fit tolerance of preferably 0.5mm the mold tube with a deviation of less than 0.2mm is centered in the water jacket.
- the fit tolerances can also be further reduced if necessary.
- the cross section of the cast billet material is rectangular, the side lengths of the
- smaller formats are also conceivable, for example with rectangular cross sections of 100 ⁇ 150 mm.
- the outer surface - that is the surface facing the Wasserleitmantel - of Kokillenrohres has an approximately uniform wall thickness and thus includes four even or approximately flat partial surfaces that emulate the rectangular cross-section of the cast metal strands. Between these partial surfaces, rounded edge regions extend whose vertices in the casting direction form an edge line.
- the mold tube is connected to the Wasserleitmantel at least two of the partial surfaces in a central region via tension and compression screws, wherein the central region of a partial surface in the casting direction over the entire length of the Kokil lenrohres and perpendicular to the casting over a region extending from a Edge line of up to five times the wall thickness of the mold tube reaches each edge line.
- the cast metal strand has a round cross-section and the co ⁇ killenrohr has a uniform wall thickness, so that the outer surface of the Kokillenrohres the round cross-section of a cast metal strand.
- the Wasserleitmantel to form a uniform water gap also has a round cross-section and is made of one piece, the tensile and Druckschraubeuren between Wasserleitmantel and mold tube are arranged uniformly along the circumference of Kokillenrohres, which is a uniformly distributed along the circumference radial support of the mold tube guaranteed.
- This promotes symmetrical growth of the strand shell and ensures high quality of the cast metal strand, and allows round bloom formats up to 650mm in diameter.
- tubular mold according to the invention will each have a lag screw and a pressure ⁇ screw combined to form a non-positive traction and Druckschraubharm by the pressure screw between Wasserleitmantel and mold tube is formed as a threaded sleeve with a first thread in the form of an external thread, which in a corresponding internal thread engages in the water jacket , so that the pressure screw on the Wasserleitmantel and the Mold tube acts with compressive force.
- the pressure screw can be locked with a locking nut on the outside of the water jacket.
- the lag screw engages through the interior of the pressure screw with a second thread turn in the form of an external thread in a corresponding internal thread on the outside of the mold tube and acts on the water ⁇ leitmantel and the mold tube with tensile force
- the tension screw is designed as an expansion screw, which tolerates a thermally induced movement of the mold tube transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tension screw.
- the pressure screws have an outer diameter of 16-25 mm, preferably 20 mm
- the lag screws have an outer thread with a diameter of 8 to 16 mm, preferably 12 mm.
- the lag screws and the pressure screws are each formed at their outer ends so that they can be adjusted by means of a suitable tool; Moreover, the tensile and pressure screw connections configured in this way have first sealing rings which seal the water-conducting jacket against the escape of cooling fluid when the screws are locked.
- the pressure screw acts as an adjustable spacer between Wasserleitmantel and mold tube and can be fixed after adjustment with a locking nut on the outside of the water jacket.
- the lag screw is used for subsequent fixation of the mold tube in Wasserleitmantel in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the mold tube, the diameter of the lag screw is significantly smaller than the inner diameter of the pressure screw, so that such a combination of lag screw and pressure screw thermally induced transverse movement of the surface of the mold tube to - lieriert.
- This interlocking construction of lag screws and pressure screws thus offers the advantage that it fixes the Kokillenrohr selectively in a direction perpendicular to the Wasserleitmantel, but without bending the Kokillenrohr itself by their force.
- the lag screw has a second longitudinal bore in the axial direction, through which a sensor, at the tip of which a sensor element for detecting the temperature is guided to the mold tube, so that the sensor element touches the surface of the mold tube and a good heat transfer to the sensor element is ensured ⁇ ge.
- a bimetal ⁇ tallionatgang is used as a sensor element for the probe, wherein the probe is pressed by means of suitable means, such as a compression spring, against the mold tube.
- suitable means such as a compression spring
- this is a common measure to measure the temperature of the mold tube at multiple points to monitor the casting process and to address any problems that may occur, such as Sticker or Strandschalenabitesen to react in time.
- This version has the advantage that in addition to the bushings for the tensile and Druckschrauborganizen through the Wasserleitmantel no separate feedthroughs for temperature sensors are needed.
- the solid strand shell forms due to the heat dissipated from the molten metal, starting at the surface of the metal strand.
- the radius of the roller table is several meters, usually 5 - 15m.
- the metal strand undergoes a corresponding deformation, which leads to stresses in the strand shell, which can lead to cracks and other damage to the strand surface in the sequence. Therefore, in order to keep the effects of the mechanical deflection low, it is advantageous if already the mold itself, preferably close to the strand outlet end, having a curvature facing in the same direction as the roller table.
- the mold tube at least in a partial region, preferably in a zone at the strand outlet end, a curvature along the casting direction, which points in the same direction as the curvature of the roller table arch.
- the inner surface of the Wasserleitmantels is shaped so that it follows the curvature and over the entire length of the Wasserleitmantels a substantially uniform water gap to the outer surface of Ko ⁇ killenrohrs formed, which is dimensioned so that the mold tube introduced as a whole in the Wasserleitmantel can be.
- the Wasserleitmantel does not have to be mounted in several parts of the mold tube, but can be made as a tube concentric tube for the tube in one piece.
- the heat transfer ⁇ changes to the cooling medium along the casting direction; customary
- the heat flow in the region of the casting mirror is highest and decreases towards the strand outlet end.
- this waste can be relatively abrupt, so that the majority of the cooling capacity of the mold is in a narrow region near the feed end, resulting in irregular wear and therefore shortened life of the tube mold or can affect the product quality adversely. It is thus desirable to modify the heat flow between the cast metal strand and the cooling medium along the casting direction in such a way that the mold tube is worn as uniformly as possible or the properties of the cast metal strand are influenced in the desired manner. Since the cooling capacity depends substantially on the flow velocity of the cooling medium, it can be locally modified by a variable cross-sectional area of the water gap.
- the Wasserleitmantel comprises a first flange at its inflow-side end and a second flange at its pouring end and it circulates during the casting operation cooling liquid in the water gap between the Wasserleitmantel and the outer surface of the Kokillenrohres against the casting direction from the pouring end to the pouring end the tube mold, wherein both the inlet openings for the coolant inlet to the tube mold and the outlet openings for the coolant outlet from the tube mold are located on the first flange.
- first flange on the first inlet channels by means of which the supplied initiated from outside the tubular mold cooling ⁇ liquid is passed through tubes to the outside of the Wasserleitmantels to the second flange. These tubes are not used to cool the cast metal strand but only the
- the tubes are preferably arranged in the vicinity of the longitudinal edges of the tubular mold, so that a substantial part of the outside of the water-conducting jacket remains accessible, which is advantageous for the efficiency of electromagnetic stirring coils, since they can be applied close to the molten metal.
- the second flange has second inlet channels through which cooling liquid is further guided into a first annular groove at the pouring end on the inside of the water jacket, this groove running in the circumferential direction of the water ⁇ Leitmantels and thereby connects the second inlet channels together and moreover to serves to uniformly distribute the supplied cooling liquid along the outside of the Ko killenrohres in order to achieve the most homogeneous cooling ⁇ effect.
- the cooling liquid takes up the casting heat released by the molten metal via the mold tube and is subsequently connected via outlet channels, which run perpendicular to the casting direction in the first flange of the water jacket and are interconnected by the second annular groove, to the outlet ⁇ openings for the coolant outlet passed to the first flange, from where it is supplied, for example, an external heat exchanger.
- This embodiment of the coolant circuit allows a compact construction of the tube mold according to the invention and ensures a uniform cooling effect along the circumference of the Mold tube, so that a high product quality is guaranteed.
- the first flange at the pouring end of the water jacket has at least four first supply channels for the supply of cooling liquid to the tubes and at least four drainage channels for the removal of the cooling liquid from the water gap and it has the second flange on the pouring side End of Wasserleitmantels over at least four second to ⁇ run channels for the supply of cooling liquid to the water ⁇ gap.
- the first and the second inlet channels and the outlet channels are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the tube ⁇ kokille and thus ensure a uniform flow path of the cooling liquid along the mold tube safely.
- the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first inflow channels, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the tubes connecting the first flange to the second flange, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the second inflow channels and the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the flow channels are at least twice the area of the water gap in FIG any cross-section perpendicular to the casting direction of the tube mold.
- This configuration ensures that the first and the second inlet channels, the tubes and the drainage channels do not appreciably increase the pressure loss of the cooling liquid that arises when flowing through the tubular mold, so that the energy expended for maintaining the cooling circuit can be used correspondingly efficiently.
- This is loading Sonder in such tube molds of importance, which should enable a high casting speed and are designed for larger G manformate because in these cases ent ⁇ speaking high cooling capacity is required: by such be ⁇ required configuration of the tube mold can for the Cooling system used to achieve a high We ⁇ ciency, the efficiency of the ratio of the transported away from the cast product amount of heat per Time unit is de ⁇ fined to the power used on the cooling unit.
