Definitions

  • the lance is designed so that the outermost tubular member is free to expand in an axial direction and carries practically no load.
  • the design is applicable to water-cooled burners, probes and other similar devices.
  • a typical example of such a device is the oxygen lance which is used to introduce gaseous oxygen into a steelmaking converter or furnace.
  • the oxygen lance is normally comprised of a plurality of spaced concentric tubular members some of which are joined at their forward ends by a copper tip or nozzle.
  • the several tubular members not only form a conduit for the gaseous oxygen but also form passages for the circulation of cooling water throughout the lance.
  • the outermost tubular member is subjected to severe temperature and corrosive conditions while the inner tubular members are kept relatively cool and protected by the circulating cooling water. This condition causes the outermost tubular member to expand in length much more than the inner tubular members and unless provision is made for this differential expansion in the construction of the lance, stresses will develop in the lance which will distort the lance and even cause a rupture.
  • the expansion of the outer tubular member in the previously known lance designs causes the lance tip or nozzle and the internal tubular members to move closer to the bath of molten metal in the furnace or converter. Since the spacing of the lance tip relating to the surface of the bath is often critical, this movement may affect the refining process. If the lance, contains instruments this movement may affect their operation.
  • a fluidtight expansion joint such as a slip joint between the outermost tubular member and the lance support so that the outennost tubular member is free to move in an axial direction as it expands and also carries practically no load.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section of an oxygen lance showing a preferred embodiment of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section of an oxygen lance showing another embodiment of this invention.
  • the lance l is comprised of three coaxial concentrically spaced elongated tubular members 2, 3 and 4.
  • the innermost tubular member 2 and the outermost tubular member 4 are connected at their forward ends by a tip or nozzle member 5.
  • the innermost tubular member 2 is connected at its rearward end to a source of gaseous oxygen under pressure by elbow 6.
  • the tubular member 2 serves as a conduit for the gaseous oxygen before it is finally discharged through the nozzle orifices 7 in the nozzle member 5.
  • the intermediate tubular member 3 divides the space between the innermost tubular member 2 and the outermost tubular member 4 into a pair of passages for the circulation of water or other coolant fluid.
  • the cooling water enters lance 1 through the inlet passage 8 at the rearward end of the lance 1.
  • the water flows downwardly in the passageway formed between the innermost tubular member 2 and the intermediate tubular member 3 until it reaches the nozzle member 5 at which point it is then deflected upwardly in the passageway formed between the intermediate tubular member 3 and the outermost tubular member 4 and finally is discharged through outlet passage 9 at the rearward end of lance l.
  • the tubular members 2, 3 and 4 are preferably made of steel.
  • the tip or nozzle member 5 is preferably made of copper or a copper alloy.
  • a steel collar assembly 11 surrounds the rearward end of lance 1 just below the water inlet passage 8 and water outlet passage 9.
  • the collar assembly 11 rests upon or is upon or is otherwise secured to a lance support assembly 12 which not only supports the lance l but may also be a carriage to move the lance in and out of the furnace and to hold it in a fixed position relative to the furnace. It is important to note that by securing the inner tubular member 2 to the collar assembly 11, the collar assembly 11 then transmits the entire load of lance l to the lance support assembly 12 thereby placing practically no load on the outermost tubular member 4.
  • the rearward end of the outermost tubular member 4 terminates within the collar assembly 11 and is immediately adjacent thereto.
  • Grooves 13 are machined in the outer wall of the rearward end of tubular member 4 to accommodate rubber O-rings H which form a fluidtight slip joint between the collar assembly I l and the outermost tubular member 4.
  • the outermost tubular member 4 floats freely and is free to move in an axial direction relative to the collar assembly 11 as it expands while in the heated furnace.
  • the inner tubular member 2 is the load carrying member of the lance l and will carry practically the entire load of the lance and the cooling water.
  • the inner tubular member 2 remains fixed.
  • While the innermost tubular member 2 may be secured to collar assembly 11 by welding, I prefer to use a threaded coupling 15 which screws into the to plate 17 of collar assembly l2 and a lock nut 16 on the rearward end of innermost tubular member 2 in order to permit an easy disassembly of the lance l for repair.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of this invention in which a bellows type of expansion joint 18 joins the rearward end of the outermost tubular member 4 with the collar assembly l l.
  • a flange 19 is welded horizontally to the outer wall of tubular member 4 below the joint 18 to protect the bellows from the heat of the furnace.
  • Apparatus for introducing materials into the heated interior of a chamber comprising:
  • a fluidtight expansion means sealing the space between the rearward end of said first tubular member and said collar assembly and permitting movement of said first tubular member in an axial direction without movement of the second and third tubular members and said collar assembly surrounding said expansion means and being positioned to substantially reduce the effect of any harmful environment on the expansion means.
