- insulating 12 for example, mineral wool and / or ceramic plates
- the band 4 is subjected to inert gas.
- Shielding gas is also intended to serve the propagation of zinc vapor
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the oven bowl 2 from FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the oven bowl 2 from FIG. 1.
- the metal strip to be coated 4 is in this section along an axial direction 16 through the furnace trunk 2 and by the blow-suction unit 14 of the
- the blow-suction unit 14 has a plurality of
- the blowing-suction unit 14 also has a plurality of suction openings 22 for extracting protective gas laden with metal vapor and / or metal dust.
- the suction openings 22 form a suction area 24.
- the injection area 20, in which the injection openings 18 are arranged, is seen in the axial direction 16 behind the suction area 24, in which the
- Suction openings 22 are arranged arranged arranged.
- the blowing region 20 and the suction region 24 are arranged without overlapping.
- the blow-suction unit 14 comprises a first blow-suction box 14a, which is arranged on the first side of the metal strip 4 to be coated, and a second blow-suction box 14b, which on the second side of the to be coated
- the blow-suction boxes 14a, 14b each have two blow boxes 26a and 26b for providing the blow-in area 20 and two suction boxes 28a and 28b respectively for providing the suction area 24.
- Blow boxes 26a (or 26b) are mutually separated by a partition wall 42a (or 42b). Also, the suction boxes 28a (or 28b) are mutually separated by a partition wall 44a (or 44b). Also for example, the blow box 26a (or 26b) and the suction box 28a (or 28b) are separated from each other by a partition wall 46a (or 46b).
- the individual blow boxes 26a, 26b each have separate connections 30a, 30b for supplying protective gas.
- the standard volume flow for blowing through the ports 30a is about 150Nm 3 / h.
- the standard flow for blowing through the ports 30b is also about 150 Nm 3 / h.
- the standard volume flow for the suction through the ports 32a is about 200Nm 3 / h.
- Standard volume flow for the suction through the ports 32b is also about 200Nm 3 / h.
- the sealing gas is identical here to the protective gas and is blown in at 300 Nm 3 / h through the barrier gas inlet 3, as also illustrated by the arrows 33 in FIG. 3.
- the sealing gas is advantageously fed between two sealing flaps (see FIG. By the sealing gas, the gas flow in the furnace trunk 2 is shielded by an upstream furnace, so that a
- the pressure decreases from the area of the protective gas inlet 3 over the area of the blow boxes 26a or 26b to the area of the suction boxes 28a or 28b.
- the injection openings 18 are provided such that the protective gas flows essentially transversely to the axial direction 16 out of the injection openings in the direction of the respective side of the metal strip 4. In this case, the protective gas is blown through the injection openings 18 perpendicularly in the direction of the respective side of the metal strip 4. The flow direction of the
- Shielding gas is illustrated by arrows 34.
- the protective gas injected through the injection openings 18 of the injection area 20 is first deliberately entrained with the metal strip 4 conveyed by the device 1 in the axial direction 16 and flows in the axial direction 16.
- the protective gas flows along the surface of the metal strip 4.
- the protective gas flows mixed with zinc vapor and Zinc dust along the wall of the furnace trunk 2 against the axial direction 16 to the suction openings 22 of the suction 24th
- Points 36 illustrate the distribution and concentration of the
- the concentration of zinc dust and zinc vapor decreases noticeably against the axial direction 16.
- the blow-suction unit 14 provides an effective barrier for the zinc vapor and the zinc dust and effective extraction of the zinc vapor and the zinc dust. Assuming, for example from a zinc vapor entry of about 34g / hr through the zinc bath 6 from simulations result in a zinc vapor concentration of about 5 x 10 "5 kg / m 3 in the vicinity of the zinc bath 6 in the lower region of the furnace snout.
- Extraction zone 24 results in only a zinc vapor concentration of about 3 x 10 " 5 kg / m 3 to about 7 x 10 " 6 kg / m 3 .
- the zinc vapor concentration is already lower than 7 x 10 "6 kg / m 3.
- FIG. 4 shows by way of example a plan view of the injection region 20 and the suction region 24 of the blow-suction box 14a from FIG. 1.
- the injection openings 18 of the injection region 20 and the suction openings 22 of the suction region 24 are arranged in a regular grid.
- the shortest distance between adjacent openings 18, 22 in the axial direction 16 is greater than transverse to the axial direction 16.
- the shortest distance 38 of the injection openings 18 or the suction openings 22 in the axial direction is approximately 100 mm here.
- the shortest distance 40 of the injection openings 18 or the suction openings 22 transversely to the axial direction 16 is about 60 mm.
- Injection openings 18 are smaller than the suction openings 22 are formed. Of the Diameter of the injection openings 18 is about 8mm. The diameter of the suction openings 22 is about 10mm.
