The liquid gas is supplied from a liquefied gas reserving tank 4 into the injection device 2 while controlling the flow rate thereof by a flow rate control valve 5, a flow rate control unit 6, a temperature control unit 7 and the like. An injection device of any other type, which is capable of blowing the liquefied gas against the furnace material effectively, may be employed not limiting to an example shown in a diagram.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In order to repair or replace the above-mentioned furnace materials, it is necessary to temporarily stop the operation of the high-temperature equipment and cool the furnace materials to around room temperature where furnace repair work can be performed. The time required for this cooling is generally very long, and may take several days, especially in the case of large equipment. The reason for this is that a material with good heat insulation performance is used as the furnace material, and this property has an adverse effect during cooling, increasing the time required for cooling.

That is, the method for cooling furnace materials according to the present invention is a method for cooling furnace materials when the operation of a furnace used at high temperatures, such as an electric furnace or a reaction furnace, is stopped. It is characterized by rapidly cooling the furnace material by ejecting liquefied gas.

Assume now that the temperature of the furnace material when the apparatus is stopped is 1000°C, and that air at room temperature is blown into the furnace and the exhaust temperature is 500°C. If the same amount of liquid nitrogen is used instead of air, the enthalpy, or cooling energy, of the gas is approximately twice that of liquid nitrogen as that of air. In other words, the cooling capacity is doubled. In addition, the apparent volume of liquid nitrogen is approximately 700 times smaller than that of air at room temperature, making it possible to feed a large amount of cooling gas into the furnace, thereby significantly shortening the cooling time. .

The liquefied gas, such as liquid nitrogen, is preferably supplied into the furnace in atomized form to avoid the risk of explosion. Temperature of liquid nitrogen (
-196°C) to the exhaust temperature of 500°C, the volume of the gas expands approximately 10 times, which corresponds to approximately 10 atmospheres when converted to pressure. Therefore, if liquid nitrogen or the like is injected into the furnace using a reaction turbine that spouts out liquefied gas while rotating using the expansion energy of this gas, it is possible to cool the entire furnace wall extremely effectively. can.

During cooling, an injection unit 3 having a reaction turbine type injection device 2 at its tip is inserted into the inside of this furnace 1. be done. The reaction turbine type injection device 2 is designed to emit liquefied gas and rotate using the reaction of the ejection, for example, like a rotating sprinkler that sprinkles water on a lawn or the like. The liquefied gas is supplied to the injection device 2 from the liquefied gas storage tank 4 through the flow rate control valve 5. The flow rate is controlled by a flow rate control unit 6, a temperature control unit 7, etc., and the water is supplied. Note that the injection device is not limited to the one shown in the drawings, but may be of any other type as long as it can effectively spray the liquefied gas onto the furnace material.

During actual cooling, when the exhaust gas temperature reaches around 200℃, the use of inert gas such as liquid nitrogen is stopped, and the gas in the furnace is replaced with liquid air or room temperature air. Preferably, it is cooled to a temperature in the vicinity. This is because if liquid air is used for cooling from the beginning, nitrogen, which has a low boiling point, will evaporate first, making the inside of the furnace rich in oxygen and increasing the danger. The reason why the second half of cooling is performed using liquid air or the like is to replace the atmosphere in the furnace so that there is no risk of oxygen deficiency when workers enter the furnace during repair of the furnace material.

Next, this cooling of the furnace material is carried out as a temporary measure for repairing or replacing the furnace material as described above, and once the furnace material has been cooled to about room temperature, the used furnace material is removed. Work will be carried out to dismantle, remove and assemble new furnace materials. This work itself is very labor-intensive and difficult work, but in the past, in order to increase the operating rate of the furnace, it was performed before the furnace material had sufficiently cooled down (for example, to about 50°C). Furthermore, the working conditions were poor.

In the present invention, by spraying ultra-low temperature liquefied gas directly onto the furnace material, a large temperature difference is created between the surface and the inside of the furnace material, which causes the furnace material to become brittle due to thermal strain. Another advantage is that it can be easily crushed. For this purpose, the cooling rate of the furnace material may be controlled to a preferable value.

[Example] Using the cooling device shown in Figure 1, liquid nitrogen was first injected, and in the second half when the exhaust gas temperature reached about 200°C, liquid air was injected to cool a steelmaking electric furnace. However, compared to the conventional forced ventilation method, the cooling time could be reduced to I73 or less.

This makes it possible to shorten the time required and improve operating rates.
