Referring to the operation of the present invention having the configuration as described above are as follows.

Generally, the steelmaking, casting, cold rolling or hot rolling processes in the steelmaking and steelmaking fields require the supply of cooling water to cool the hot slabs. In order to prevent clogging of the cooling water nozzles due to the pipe scale (oxides and contaminants) after filtering in the supply process of the cooling water, the present invention provides a cooling water filtering device installed in the secondary cooling water supply line of the continuous casting machine in steel mill facilities. Providing.

That is, the zone filtering unit according to the present invention is close to the branch zone 13 of the cooling water supply line 11 for supplying the cooling water filtered by the main filter unit 10 which primarily filters the cooling water as shown in FIG. 2. The secondary filtering means 40 is provided at the position to allow the cooling water to be filtered secondly.

Cooling water filtering process according to the present invention is as follows.

First, the primary filtered coolant from the main filter unit 10 flows into the first pipe line unit 14 of the zone filtering unit according to the present invention along a cooling water supply line, wherein the first pipe line unit 14 The coolant water pressure flowing through the pipe is measured by the first hydraulic pressure gauge 25 provided in the first pipe line portion 14.

The coolant that has passed through the first pipe line portion 14 immediately flows into the inlet of the coolant filter part 20 and is filled in the filter housing 16. In this case, a mesh fitted inside the outlet of the coolant filter part 20 is provided. Cooling water is secondarily filtered by the filter 19.

In this case, since the filter housing 16 is made of a cylindrical transparent acrylic, the administrator can easily check the state of the mesh filter 19 with the naked eye, and thus after the first filtering on the mesh filter 19, If pipe scales (oxides and other contaminants) accumulate, they can be replaced immediately by an administrator.

The secondary filtered coolant from the mesh filter 19 of the coolant filter unit 20 is discharged to the outlet 18 and then directed to the branch zone 13 through the second pipe line unit 15. The water pressure of the coolant passing through the coolant filter unit 20 is measured by the second hydraulic pressure gauge unit 26 provided in the second pipe line unit 15.

Therefore, the manager visually checks the hydraulic pressure value indicated by the instructions of the first hydraulic pressure gauge 25 and the second hydraulic pressure gauge 26 so that the hydraulic pressure value of the second hydraulic pressure gauge 26 is equal to the first hydraulic pressure gauge. When it is less than the water pressure value of 25, it can be estimated that a lot of contaminants accumulated in the mesh filter 19 of the cooling water filter unit 20.

For reference, as shown in FIG. 3, first and second pressure transducers 33 and 34 are further provided at one side of the first and second pressure gauges 25 and 26, respectively, and each of the hydraulic pressures measured as analog signals. When the value data is converted into a digital signal and sent to the control means, the control means may compare the two measured values to determine whether or not there is a contaminant.

As described above, when a large amount of contaminants accumulates in the mesh filter 19 of the coolant filter unit 20 and a difference occurs in the measured water pressure of the first and second hydraulic pressure gauges 25 and 26, the mesh filter 19 is immediately replaced. In order to replace the mesh filter 19, the manager first opens the ball valve, which is the third opening and closing means 24, which is closed in the normal state, and then opens the first and second opening and closing means in the open state sequentially. Just close (22, 23).

When the manager opens the drain valve 30 provided at the bottom of the coolant filter unit 20 after the series of operations as described above, the coolant discharged from the filter housing 16 of the coolant filter unit 20 is discharged. Will be.

When all the coolant filled in the filter housing 16 is discharged, the manager separates the filter housing 16 by using a predetermined extension, and then removes the mesh filter 19 inserted into the lower outlet of the coolant filter unit 20. Then, the filter housing 16, which has been inserted and removed from the new mesh filter, may be reassembled.

For reference, the first and second opening and closing means 22 and 23 may selectively use a ball valve or a butterfly valve according to the space of the first and second pipe line parts 14 and 15. That is, a ball valve may be used when the length of the pipeline is a certain length, for example, 900 mm or more, and a butterfly valve may be used when the length of the pipeline is less than 900 mm.

Of course, in the case of the third opening and closing means 24, since the length of the pipeline is always 900 mm or more, the ball valve is used.

On the other hand, when the contamination of the coolant filter unit 20 can be used as a warning light for a more rapid warning, such a warning light 32 may be installed as shown in FIG.

That is, in order to install the warning lamp 32, the contact type pressure gauge 31 may be provided at the outlet side second pipe line part 15 of the cooling water filter part 20. The guideline is set at a constant pressure so that it will only move if the current pressure is below the set pressure. The water pressure set here represents the water pressure in a steady state.

Therefore, if the water pressure of the cooling water passing through the second pipe line part 15 through the coolant filter part 20 currently measured by the contact pressure gauge 31 falls short of the normal pressure set by the contact type. The warning lamp 32 provided on one side of the pressure gauge 31 is turned on so that the manager can quickly know when to replace the mesh filter 19.

As can be seen from the above description, the present invention, the main filter unit 10 for filtering the coolant first, the coolant supply pipe 11 for supplying the coolant filtered primarily in the main filter unit 10, In the cooling water treatment device comprising a branch zone 13 for branching to supply the cooling water supplied from the cooling water supply pipe 11 to the plurality of nozzles (12),

Secondary filtering means 40 for re-filtering the cooling water supplied from the main filter unit 10 at a position proximate to the branch zone 13 of the cooling water supply line 11 removes impurities in the cooling water to remove the cooling water. Clogging of the nozzle portion 12 can be prevented.

In addition, according to the present invention, clogging of the coolant nozzle part 12 due to the coolant pressure difference can be predicted by using the first and second hydraulic pressure gauges 25 and 26 provided at the inlet and the outlet of the coolant filter unit 20. have.

In addition, the filter housing 16 according to the present invention may be made of cylindrical transparent acrylic, and the degree of contamination of the mesh filter 19 provided in the filter housing 16 may be visually replaced by an administrator.
