Definitions
- the invention relates to a cooling plate for an iron- or steelmaking furnace.
- Such cooling plates are arranged on the inside of the furnace shell and have internal cooling ducts. These cooling plates are connected via connection pieces projecting from their back to a cooling system of the shaft furnace outside the furnace shell. Their surface facing the interior of the furnace is generally lined with a refractory material.
- Copper cooling plates for metallurgical furnaces are known from DE 29611704 U1, according to which prefabricated coolant ducts, consisting of copper pipe sockets, copper pipe lines and copper pipe bends are integrally cast in the cooling plate.
- the complete, prefabricated copper conduit is placed into the casting mould and the molten copper is poured around it.
- An improvement in heat transmission is expected for as a result of a partial fusing of the molten copper and the pipe wall.
- this process also fails to provide any protection from cavities and porosities in the cast copper plate.
- a cooling plate made from a forged or rolled copper ingot is known from DE-A-2907511.
- the cooling ducts in this case are blind holes, which are introduced into the rolled copper ingot by mechanical deep drilling.
- the blind holes are sealed by soldering or welding in threaded plugs.
- Connecting holes to the blind holes are drilled from the back of the plate.
- Connection pieces for coolant feed or return are subsequently inserted in these connecting holes and soldered or welded in.
- pipe connection pieces with a larger diameter are welded or soldered as spacers coaxially with the connection pieces on the back of the plate.
- a plate is cut out of the continuously cast preform by two cuts at right angles to the casting direction, two end faces with a spacing corresponding to the required length of the cooling plate being formed.
- connecting holes terminating in the ducts are drilled into the plate at right angles to the rear surface and the end terminations of the ducts closed. Connection pieces are subsequently inserted in the connection holes, as already described above.
- the invention is based on the task of creating a transition ensuring relatively favorable flow from the connection pieces to the cooling ducts without the need to revert to mould-cast cooling plate bodies or cooling plate bodies with integrally cast cooling pipes with their above-mentioned disadvantages. This problem is solved by a cooling plate according to claim 1 or by a cooling plate according to the process of claim 16 .
- the cooling plate according to the invention comprises a copper cooling plate body (i.e. a cooling plate body made from copper or a copper alloy), with at least one cooling duct, which extends essentially parallel with the back of the cooling plate. At least one connection piece is arranged on the back of the cooling plate body and terminates in the cooling plate body in the at least one cooling duct.
- the cooling plate has a formed piece, which is fitted in a prefabricated, externally accessible recess in the cooling plate body and forms a deflection surface for the cooling medium in the area of the termination of the connection piece in the cooling duct.
- the entry of the cooling medium from the connection piece into the cooling duct or from the cooling duct into the connection piece can be improved from the flow point of view in an extremely simple way by this deflection surface. Consequently, the pressure losses in the cooling plate can be substantially reduced, which of course has a favorable effect on the energy consumption for circulation of the cooling medium. The risk of steam bubble formation by high local pressure losses is likewise greatly reduced. Furthermore, escape of the air during filling of the cooling plates with the cooling medium is simplified by the deflection surface according to the invention. In other words, the deflection surfaces according to the invention prevent air pockets from forming in the cooling ducts and causing so-called “hot spots”.
- cooling plate bodies which are manufactured by the methods, described in DE-A-2907511 and in WO98/30345, with excellent results with regard to reduction of the pressure losses. Consequently these cooling plate bodies can also be used, if low-pressure losses are required, which was so far not possible.
- the formed piece is arranged in an axial extension of the cooling duct, the deflection surface being formed by one of its end faces.
- the cooling duct is formed, for example, by a duct which has an opening in an end face of the cooling plate body
- the formed piece is advantageously a plug, which is inserted in this opening and extends into the cooling duct as far as the opening of the connection piece, where it forms the deflection surface for the cooling medium.
- the deflection surface is formed by a bevelled end of the formed piece. Deflection surfaces optimised from the flow point of view with a concave curvature naturally permit further reduction of the local pressure loss.
- the formed piece may also be a prefabricated transition piece, e.g. a copper mould casting, which is inserted sealed from the outside in a suitably adapted recess in the cooling plate body, into which the cooling duct forms an opening.
- This transition piece has a curved internal transition duct, which forms a first and second opening in the transition piece. The first opening terminates in the connection piece in this case.
- the second opening in the cooling plate body is opposite the opening of the cooling duct.
- the curved transition duct which may be integrally, cast in a mould casting, for example, forms a transition substantially more favorable from the flow point of view from the connection piece to the cooling duct than a pipe connection welded or soldered directly into a hole in the cooling plate body.
- transition pieces likewise have the advantage that the transition between the connection piece and the cooling duct is always formed identically by a standardized prefabricated transition piece, so that the pressure losses in the individual cooling circuits can be predetermined and coordinated far more easily.
- the transition pieces are also preferable from the mechanical point of view to direct welding or soldering in of a connection piece into a hole in the cooling plate body.
- Reduction of the pressure loss by the transition piece according to the invention is particularly pronounced for cooling plate bodies with cooling ducts, which have an oblong cross-section.
- cooling plate bodies with cooling ducts which have an oblong cross-section.
- the transition from the oblong cross-section of the cooling duct to a circular cross-section in the coolant connection is in fact effected progressively in the curved transition duct of the transition piece, so that discontinuities in the flow pattern are avoided.
- the transition piece advantageously has a solid shoulder, which forms a spacer which projects from the back of the cooling plate. In the assembled cooling plate these shoulders simultaneously press a seal into the bushing of the connection pieces in the furnace shell. It is thus unnecessary to weld or solder an additional element around the connection piece to the back of the cooling plate, so that the cooling plate production process is simplified. Furthermore, a relatively solid shoulder on the transition piece facilitates assembly of the connection piece.
- the recess for the transition piece is advantageously cut into the copper cooling plate body from the rear, the depth of the recess being smaller than the thickness of the cooling plate body. With this embodiment the front side of the cooling plate facing the furnace interior remains intact.
- the recess for the transition piece advantageously terminates in one end of the cooling plate body. Consequently it can be manufactured more easily and the cooling duct can extend to a point immediately adjacent to the end of the cooling plate body. Furthermore, it should be noted in relation to this embodiment of the invention that the transition piece closes and seals the cooling duct at the end. Consequently the soldering or welding of plugs into the cooling ducts open at the ends described in DE-A-2907511 and WO98/30345 is dispensed with, so that a further operating step is saved.
- the cooling plate body is a forged or rolled copper ingot as described in DE-A-2907511, the cooling ducts being produced as blind holes by mechanical deep drilling.
- the copper cooling plate body is continuously cast as described in WO98/30345, however, the cooling ducts being produced as through ducts in the casting direction during continuous casting.

- the cooling plate 10 shown consists essentially of a cooling plate body 12 made from copper or a copper alloy with a rectangular surface.
- Four straight cooling ducts 14 which extend parallel with the surface through the cooling plate body 12 from one end 16 to the opposite end 18 , are integrated in the cooling plate body 12 .
- This cooling plate body 12 was advantageously manufactured by the method described in the subsequently published patent application WO 98/30345.
- a preform of the cooling plate body 12 was continuously cast in a continuous casting mould, whereby rod-type inserts in the casting duct produced ducts running in the casting direction, which form the cooling ducts 14 .
- the cross-section of the integrally cast ducts 14 has an oblong shape with its smallest dimension at right angles to the plate.
- a plate was cut out of this continuously cast preform by two cuts at right angles to the casting direction, the two end faces 16 and 18 of the cooling plate body 12 being formed. Grooves 19 running at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the plate were subsequently cut into one of the two surfaces of the cooling plate body 12 (see FIG. 2 ). This surface with the cut grooves 24 forms the front side 25 of the cooling plate body 12 , which faces the furnace interior. After assembly of the cooling plate 10 in the blast furnace, the front side 25 of the cooling plate body 12 can be provided with a refractory material, the grooves 19 ensuring better adhesion of the refractory material.
- each cooling duct 14 has a connection piece 20 or 22 at each end.
- connection pieces 20 , 22 are essentially at right angles to the surface of the cooling plate body 12 . They are led through the furnace shell to the outside of the furnace, where they are connected to the connection pieces of an adjacent cooling plate, so that the cooling plate 10 is incorporated in the cooling circuit of the furnace shell.
- the connection pieces 20 serve, for example, as feed connections and the connection pieces 22 as return connections of the cooling plate 10 .
- FIG. 3 shows a transition piece 24 , which is used for this connection according to the invention. It is advantageously a copper or copper alloy mould casting. As the thermal conductivity of the material used for manufacture of the transition piece 24 is not significant, a copper alloy suitable for mould casting, for example, and with higher mechanical strength than the copper alloy of the cooling plate body can be selected. The latter should in fact be characterized mainly by good thermal conductivity.

- the inside diameter of this hole corresponds essentially to the outside diameter of the connection piece 22 .
- a curved transition duct 34 is internally cast in the mould casting 24 . This duct forms an opening 36 into the connection piece 22 in the shoulder 32 , the opening having essentially the same circular free cross-section as the connection piece 22 .
- a second opening 38 in the transition duct 26 is arranged in a lateral area 40 of the prismatic base 26 . This second opening 38 has essentially the same oblong cross-section as the cooling ducts 14 in the cooling plate body.
- the integrally cast transition duct 34 is designed in such a way that the transition from the oblong to the circular cross-section takes place progressively, i.e. without significant discontinuities, which would produce local vortices and thus pressure losses in the flowing cooling medium.
- a mould casting 24 is inserted with its base 26 in a suitable recess in the copper cooling plate body 12 at each end of a cooling duct 14 .
- These recesses are advantageously cut from the rear into the copper cooling plate body, the rounded corners 28 and 30 on the base 26 substantially simplifying this work.
- each of the recesses terminates laterally in the respective end 16 , 18 of the cooling plate body 12 , the depth of the recesses being smaller than the thickness of the cooling plate body 12 , so that the front of the cooling plate body 12 with its cut grooves 19 remains intact (see also FIG. 4 ).
- the second opening 38 of the transition duct 34 in the mould casting 24 is exactly opposite the opening of the cooling duct 14 into this recess.
- the remaining gap between the cooling plate body and the base 26 inserted in the recess is welded or soldered all round the surface, so that no cooling medium can escape through this gap.
- FIGS. 2 and 4 show that this seam has a relatively simple course, so that it can also easily be applied mechanically.
- the shoulders 32 project from the cooling plate body 12 as pressing elements, which press a seal into the connection piece bushing in the furnace shell when the cooling plate is assembled.
- the curved transition duct 34 integrally cast in the mould casting 24 forms a transition substantially more favorable from the flow point of view from the connection piece 20 , 22 to the cooling duct 14 than a pipe connection piece welded or soldered directly into a hole in the cooling plate body.
- the pressure losses in the cooling plate 10 are thus substantially reduced, which, of course, has a favorable effect on the energy consumption for circulation of the cooling medium. Furthermore the risk of steam bubble formation due to high local pressure losses at the transition from cooling duct to connection piece is greatly reduced.

- the cooling plate body of a cooling plate according to the invention could also be manufactured by the method with blind holes described in DE-A-2907511.
- production by continuous casting as described above is far simpler and therefore also preferable.
- the cross-section of the integrally cast ducts may have an oblong shape with its smallest dimension at right angles to the cooling plate. Consequently the continuously cast cooling plates can be manufactured with a smaller plate thickness than cooling plates with drilled ducts, with the result that copper is saved and the useful volume of the furnace is increased.
- the present invention advantageously reduces the higher pressure losses which occur with transition to the connection piece 20 , 22 with a circular free cross-section.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the cross-section of the duct 14 above the opening of the connection piece 20 is slightly larger than the cross-section of the actual cooling duct 14 . This forms a shoulder area 130 in the duct 14 , on which a corresponding shoulder area 132 of the plug 124 rests, so that the deflection surface 134 is positioned exactly below the opening of the connection piece 20 into the cooling duct 14 .
- the cooling duct 14 and plug 124 have an oblong cross-section. However, both could, of course, have a circular cross-section.

Abstract
A cooling plate for an iron and steelmaking furnace includes a copper cooling plate body having at least one cooling duct for a cooling medium extending essentially parallel with the back of the cooling plate body. The cooling plate body further includes a preformed, externally accessible recess into which the cooling duct opens. A connection piece is utilized as a cooling medium connection on the back of the cooling plate body, while a formed piece fitted within the externally accessible recess forms a deflection surface for the cooling medium flowing from the connection piece into the cooling duct, or from the cooling duct into the connection piece.
Description
- This application is entitled to the benefit of International Application No. PCT/EP1999/08735, filed on Nov. 12, 1999, Luxembourg Patent Application No. LU 90328, filed on Dec. 16, 1998 and is a Divisional application of U.S. Non-Provisional Application No. Ser. No. 09/868,117, filed on Aug. 20, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. ______.
- The invention relates to a cooling plate for an iron- or steelmaking furnace.
- Such cooling plates are arranged on the inside of the furnace shell and have internal cooling ducts. These cooling plates are connected via connection pieces projecting from their back to a cooling system of the shaft furnace outside the furnace shell. Their surface facing the interior of the furnace is generally lined with a refractory material.
- Most of these cooling plates are still made from cast iron. As copper has a far better thermal conductivity than cast iron; however, there is a current trend towards the use of cooling plates made from copper or copper alloys. Meanwhile, several production methods have been proposed for copper cooling plates.
- Initially, an attempt was made to manufacture copper cooling plates by mould casting like cast iron cooling plates, the internal cooling ducts being formed by a sand core in the mould. This method has not proved effective in practice; however, because the cast copper plates exhibit cavities and porosity far more frequently than cast iron cooling plates. However, it is well known that such cavities and porosity have an extremely negative effect on the life and thermal conductivity of the plates.
- It is already known from GB-A-1571789 how to replace the sand core by a preformed metallic pipe coil made from copper or high-grade steel in mould casting of the cooling plates. The pipe coil is integrally cast in the cooling plate body in the mould and forms a helical cooling duct. The two ends of the pipe coil project as connection pieces from the cooling plate body. This method has also not proved effective in practice. A high heat transmission resistance exists between the copper cooling plate body and the integrally cast pipe coil, so that relatively poor cooling of the plate results. Furthermore, cavities and porosity in the copper can likewise not be effectively prevented with this method.
- Copper cooling plates for metallurgical furnaces are known from DE 29611704 U1, according to which prefabricated coolant ducts, consisting of copper pipe sockets, copper pipe lines and copper pipe bends are integrally cast in the cooling plate. The complete, prefabricated copper conduit is placed into the casting mould and the molten copper is poured around it. An improvement in heat transmission is expected for as a result of a partial fusing of the molten copper and the pipe wall. However, this process also fails to provide any protection from cavities and porosities in the cast copper plate.
- A cooling plate made from a forged or rolled copper ingot is known from DE-A-2907511. The cooling ducts in this case are blind holes, which are introduced into the rolled copper ingot by mechanical deep drilling. The blind holes are sealed by soldering or welding in threaded plugs. Connecting holes to the blind holes are drilled from the back of the plate. Connection pieces for coolant feed or return are subsequently inserted in these connecting holes and soldered or welded in. Finally, pipe connection pieces with a larger diameter are welded or soldered as spacers coaxially with the connection pieces on the back of the plate.
- The subsequently published WO 98/30345 describes a method in which a preform of the cooling plate is continuously cast. Inserts in the casting duct of the continuous casting mould produce ducts running in the continuous casting direction, which form straight cooling ducts in the finished cooling plate. The cross-section of these integrally cast ducts preferably has an oblong shape with its smallest dimension at right angles to the cooling duct. Consequently cooling plates with a smaller plate thickness than cooling plates with drilled ducts can be manufactured. Copper is thus saved and the useful volume of the furnace increased. A further advantage of the oblong cross-section is that larger exchange areas on the coolant side can be achieved in the cooling plate. A plate is cut out of the continuously cast preform by two cuts at right angles to the casting direction, two end faces with a spacing corresponding to the required length of the cooling plate being formed. In the next production step connecting holes terminating in the ducts are drilled into the plate at right angles to the rear surface and the end terminations of the ducts closed. Connection pieces are subsequently inserted in the connection holes, as already described above.
- The methods described in DE-A-2907511 and WO98/30345 both permit production of high-grade cooling plate bodies from copper or copper alloys, the method described in WO98/30345 being characterized by particularly low production costs. However, a disadvantage of the finished cooling plates of both methods compared to cooling plates with integrally cast pipe coils or mould-cast plates is that they exhibit a relatively high pressure loss in the area of the transitions from the connection pieces to the cooling ducts. This applies in particular, but not exclusively, if the cooling ducts have an oblong cross-section, as described in WO98/30345.
- For the sake of completeness it should also be mentioned that a cast-iron cooling plate with integrally cast cooling pipes, which has an oval cross-section in its straight section, but a circular cross-section at the inlet and outlet, is described in EP-A-0144578.
- The invention is based on the task of creating a transition ensuring relatively favorable flow from the connection pieces to the cooling ducts without the need to revert to mould-cast cooling plate bodies or cooling plate bodies with integrally cast cooling pipes with their above-mentioned disadvantages. This problem is solved by a cooling plate according to claim 1 or by a cooling plate according to the process of
claim 16. - The cooling plate according to the invention comprises a copper cooling plate body (i.e. a cooling plate body made from copper or a copper alloy), with at least one cooling duct, which extends essentially parallel with the back of the cooling plate. At least one connection piece is arranged on the back of the cooling plate body and terminates in the cooling plate body in the at least one cooling duct. According to the invention, the cooling plate has a formed piece, which is fitted in a prefabricated, externally accessible recess in the cooling plate body and forms a deflection surface for the cooling medium in the area of the termination of the connection piece in the cooling duct. The entry of the cooling medium from the connection piece into the cooling duct or from the cooling duct into the connection piece can be improved from the flow point of view in an extremely simple way by this deflection surface. Consequently, the pressure losses in the cooling plate can be substantially reduced, which of course has a favorable effect on the energy consumption for circulation of the cooling medium. The risk of steam bubble formation by high local pressure losses is likewise greatly reduced. Furthermore, escape of the air during filling of the cooling plates with the cooling medium is simplified by the deflection surface according to the invention. In other words, the deflection surfaces according to the invention prevent air pockets from forming in the cooling ducts and causing so-called “hot spots”. It should also be noted that the invention can be applied to cooling plate bodies, which are manufactured by the methods, described in DE-A-2907511 and in WO98/30345, with excellent results with regard to reduction of the pressure losses. Consequently these cooling plate bodies can also be used, if low-pressure losses are required, which was so far not possible.
- In an extremely simple embodiment of the invention, the formed piece is arranged in an axial extension of the cooling duct, the deflection surface being formed by one of its end faces. If the cooling duct is formed, for example, by a duct which has an opening in an end face of the cooling plate body, the formed piece is advantageously a plug, which is inserted in this opening and extends into the cooling duct as far as the opening of the connection piece, where it forms the deflection surface for the cooling medium. To improve the transition between the connection piece and the cooling duct from the flow point of view, it is already sufficient that the deflection surface is formed by a bevelled end of the formed piece. Deflection surfaces optimised from the flow point of view with a concave curvature naturally permit further reduction of the local pressure loss.
- The formed piece may also be a prefabricated transition piece, e.g. a copper mould casting, which is inserted sealed from the outside in a suitably adapted recess in the cooling plate body, into which the cooling duct forms an opening. This transition piece has a curved internal transition duct, which forms a first and second opening in the transition piece. The first opening terminates in the connection piece in this case. By contrast the second opening in the cooling plate body is opposite the opening of the cooling duct. The curved transition duct, which may be integrally, cast in a mould casting, for example, forms a transition substantially more favorable from the flow point of view from the connection piece to the cooling duct than a pipe connection welded or soldered directly into a hole in the cooling plate body.
- These cooling plates with inserted transition pieces likewise have the advantage that the transition between the connection piece and the cooling duct is always formed identically by a standardized prefabricated transition piece, so that the pressure losses in the individual cooling circuits can be predetermined and coordinated far more easily. The transition pieces are also preferable from the mechanical point of view to direct welding or soldering in of a connection piece into a hole in the cooling plate body.
- Reduction of the pressure loss by the transition piece according to the invention is particularly pronounced for cooling plate bodies with cooling ducts, which have an oblong cross-section. In these cooling plates the transition from the oblong cross-section of the cooling duct to a circular cross-section in the coolant connection is in fact effected progressively in the curved transition duct of the transition piece, so that discontinuities in the flow pattern are avoided.
- The transition piece advantageously has a solid shoulder, which forms a spacer which projects from the back of the cooling plate. In the assembled cooling plate these shoulders simultaneously press a seal into the bushing of the connection pieces in the furnace shell. It is thus unnecessary to weld or solder an additional element around the connection piece to the back of the cooling plate, so that the cooling plate production process is simplified. Furthermore, a relatively solid shoulder on the transition piece facilitates assembly of the connection piece.
- The recess for the transition piece is advantageously cut into the copper cooling plate body from the rear, the depth of the recess being smaller than the thickness of the cooling plate body. With this embodiment the front side of the cooling plate facing the furnace interior remains intact.
- The recess for the transition piece advantageously terminates in one end of the cooling plate body. Consequently it can be manufactured more easily and the cooling duct can extend to a point immediately adjacent to the end of the cooling plate body. Furthermore, it should be noted in relation to this embodiment of the invention that the transition piece closes and seals the cooling duct at the end. Consequently the soldering or welding of plugs into the cooling ducts open at the ends described in DE-A-2907511 and WO98/30345 is dispensed with, so that a further operating step is saved.
- In a first embodiment the cooling plate body is a forged or rolled copper ingot as described in DE-A-2907511, the cooling ducts being produced as blind holes by mechanical deep drilling.
- In a preferred embodiment the copper cooling plate body is continuously cast as described in WO98/30345, however, the cooling ducts being produced as through ducts in the casting direction during continuous casting.
- Production of such a cooling plate is particularly simple, but it still has far better mechanical and thermal properties than a cast copper cooling plate.
- For better illustration of the invention and its advantages, an exemplified embodiment will be described in more detail with the aid of the enclosed drawings.

plate 10 shown consists essentially of acooling plate body 12 made from copper or a copper alloy with a rectangular surface. Fourstraight cooling ducts 14, which extend parallel with the surface through thecooling plate body 12 from oneend 16 to theopposite end 18, are integrated in thecooling plate body 12. Thiscooling plate body 12 was advantageously manufactured by the method described in the subsequently published patent application WO 98/30345. A preform of thecooling plate body 12 was continuously cast in a continuous casting mould, whereby rod-type inserts in the casting duct produced ducts running in the casting direction, which form thecooling ducts 14. As shown inFIG. 2 the cross-section of theintegrally cast ducts 14 has an oblong shape with its smallest dimension at right angles to the plate. A plate was cut out of this continuously cast preform by two cuts at right angles to the casting direction, the two end faces 16 and 18 of thecooling plate body 12 being formed.Grooves 19 running at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the plate were subsequently cut into one of the two surfaces of the cooling plate body 12 (seeFIG. 2 ). This surface with thecut grooves 24 forms thefront side 25 of thecooling plate body 12, which faces the furnace interior. After assembly of the coolingplate 10 in the blast furnace, thefront side 25 of thecooling plate body 12 can be provided with a refractory material, thegrooves 19 ensuring better adhesion of the refractory material. - On the back of the cooling
plate 10 each coolingduct 14 has aconnection piece connection pieces cooling plate body 12. They are led through the furnace shell to the outside of the furnace, where they are connected to the connection pieces of an adjacent cooling plate, so that the coolingplate 10 is incorporated in the cooling circuit of the furnace shell. Theconnection pieces 20 serve, for example, as feed connections and theconnection pieces 22 as return connections of the coolingplate 10. - The connection according to the invention of
connection pieces cooling ducts 14 in thecooling plate body 12 is described in more detail with the aid ofFIGS. 2 to 4 .FIG. 3 shows atransition piece 24, which is used for this connection according to the invention. It is advantageously a copper or copper alloy mould casting. As the thermal conductivity of the material used for manufacture of thetransition piece 24 is not significant, a copper alloy suitable for mould casting, for example, and with higher mechanical strength than the copper alloy of the cooling plate body can be selected. The latter should in fact be characterized mainly by good thermal conductivity. The one-piece transition piece consists of aprismatic base 26 with tworounded edges cylindrical shoulder 32. Theconnection piece 22 is welded, soldered or screwed into a hole in theshoulder 32 or cast at the same time and projects at right angles from thefree surface 33 of thisshoulder 32. The inside diameter of this hole corresponds essentially to the outside diameter of theconnection piece 22. Acurved transition duct 34 is internally cast in the mould casting 24. This duct forms anopening 36 into theconnection piece 22 in theshoulder 32, the opening having essentially the same circular free cross-section as theconnection piece 22. Asecond opening 38 in thetransition duct 26 is arranged in alateral area 40 of theprismatic base 26. Thissecond opening 38 has essentially the same oblong cross-section as thecooling ducts 14 in the cooling plate body. The integrally casttransition duct 34 is designed in such a way that the transition from the oblong to the circular cross-section takes place progressively, i.e. without significant discontinuities, which would produce local vortices and thus pressure losses in the flowing cooling medium. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 4, a mould casting 24 is inserted with itsbase 26 in a suitable recess in the coppercooling plate body 12 at each end of a coolingduct 14. These recesses are advantageously cut from the rear into the copper cooling plate body, therounded corners FIG. 4 , each of the recesses terminates laterally in therespective end cooling plate body 12, the depth of the recesses being smaller than the thickness of thecooling plate body 12, so that the front of thecooling plate body 12 with itscut grooves 19 remains intact (see alsoFIG. 4 ). Thesecond opening 38 of thetransition duct 34 in the mould casting 24 is exactly opposite the opening of the coolingduct 14 into this recess. The remaining gap between the cooling plate body and the base 26 inserted in the recess is welded or soldered all round the surface, so that no cooling medium can escape through this gap.FIGS. 2 and 4 show that this seam has a relatively simple course, so that it can also easily be applied mechanically. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 4 , theshoulders 32 project from thecooling plate body 12 as pressing elements, which press a seal into the connection piece bushing in the furnace shell when the cooling plate is assembled. - As already mentioned above, the
curved transition duct 34 integrally cast in the mould casting 24 forms a transition substantially more favorable from the flow point of view from theconnection piece duct 14 than a pipe connection piece welded or soldered directly into a hole in the cooling plate body. The pressure losses in thecooling plate 10 are thus substantially reduced, which, of course, has a favorable effect on the energy consumption for circulation of the cooling medium. Furthermore the risk of steam bubble formation due to high local pressure losses at the transition from cooling duct to connection piece is greatly reduced. The coolingplate 10 according to the invention likewise has the advantage that the transition from theconnection piece duct 14 is always effected identically by astandardized casting 24, so that the pressure losses in the individual cooling circuits can be predetermined and coordinated far more easily. The solution according to the invention is, of course, likewise preferable also from the mechanical point of view to direct welding or soldering of a connection piece into a hole in the cooling plate body. The solid shoulder into which theconnection piece - Finally, it should be noted that the cooling plate body of a cooling plate according to the invention could also be manufactured by the method with blind holes described in DE-A-2907511. However, production by continuous casting as described above is far simpler and therefore also preferable. Furthermore, the cross-section of the integrally cast ducts may have an oblong shape with its smallest dimension at right angles to the cooling plate. Consequently the continuously cast cooling plates can be manufactured with a smaller plate thickness than cooling plates with drilled ducts, with the result that copper is saved and the useful volume of the furnace is increased. The present invention advantageously reduces the higher pressure losses which occur with transition to the
connection piece - A simplified embodiment according to the invention of the transition region between the
connection piece 20 and the coolingduct 14 is shown inFIG. 5 . The connection piece is inserted directly in thecooling plate body 12 and welded to the latter. A formedpiece 124, which is inserted in arecess 126 of thecooling plate body 12 in an axial extension of the coolingduct 14, forms adeflection surface 134 for the cooling medium in the area of the opening of theconnection piece 20 into the coolingduct 14. As shown inFIG. 6 , the formedpiece 124, for example, is a plug, which is inserted in the end opening of the coolingduct 14 and extends to the opening of theconnection piece 20 into the coolingduct 14. Thedeflection surface 134 for the cooling medium is formed by the front surface of itsend 128 bevelled to 45°. As shown inFIG. 5 , the cross-section of theduct 14 above the opening of theconnection piece 20 is slightly larger than the cross-section of theactual cooling duct 14. This forms ashoulder area 130 in theduct 14, on which acorresponding shoulder area 132 of theplug 124 rests, so that thedeflection surface 134 is positioned exactly below the opening of theconnection piece 20 into the coolingduct 14. - In
FIGS. 5 and 6 , the coolingduct 14 and plug 124 have an oblong cross-section. However, both could, of course, have a circular cross-section.
