  • N .1 11 567 1 PP 0 ABSTRACT A mould of a metal continuous casting machine provided with a Syste for Supplying a d withdrawing a cooling fluid flowing along ducts disposed in the [58] Fleld of Searchw" 1 64/283 l mould walls, the ducts being interconnected serially at 164/128, 283, 297, 348, 165/157, 158, least in pal-m 3 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure COOLING SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS CASTING MOLD
  • the present invention relates to continuous metal casting machines and, more particularly, to molds for such machines.
  • Molds for a continuous casting machine are generally known, such molds being provided with ducts for a cooling fluid and the ducts being disposed in the mold walls and connected with a system for supplying and withdrawing the cooling fluid.
  • the ducts are united by closed circular manifolds.
  • the cooling fluid is supplied through the lower manifold, and withdrawn from the upper one. Therefore, in this known type of mold, the cooling fluid flows in each duct in one direction, and then flows into the manifold, wherefrom it is withdrawn. This characteristic is responsible for a substantial consumption of the cooling fluid and makes its use less efiicient.
  • An object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforenoted disadvantage.
  • a principle object of the present invention is to provide a mold for a continuous metal casting machine and ducts for the cooling fluid connected in such a way that it is possible to efficiently use the cooling fluid and reduce its consumption.
  • This object is achieved by interconnecting serially at least two ducts in pairs for the cooling fluid in the mold of the metal casting machine. It is preferred that a number of ducts be united into banks, the banks being interconnected so that the cooling fluid of one of the banks flows downwards whereas, in the other bank, it flows upwards.
  • One bank of the ducts may be isolated from the other bank in the upper portion and communicated with it in the lower portion.
  • the banks of the ducts may be disposed along the mold perimeter symmetrically with respect to the vertical planes of symmetry.
  • the mold walls are provided with ducts 1 that receive a fluid for cooling the mold walls during the metal casting.
  • ducts 1 are arranged in banks 2, 2, 3 and 3by means of manifolds 4 and 4.
  • manifolds 4 and 4 Connected to manifolds 4 and 4are branch pipes 5 and 5 for supplying the cooling fluid which, after passing through the mold, is drained through branch pipes 6 (the supply and withdrawal of the cooling fluid are shown by arrows).
  • ducts l are also interconnected with the help of manifolds 7 and 7 owing to which fact banks 2 and 2 will become connected serially to banks 3 and 3.
  • the flow of the cooling fluid passes in the opposite direction in said banks 2 and 2, and also 3 and 3.
  • a mold fora continuous metal casting machine comprising a plurality of walls connected to define a vertical opening adapted to accommodate metal casting, and, in at least one of said walls, spaced parallel rows of ducts, each of said rows including a plurality of coaxial independent horizontal duct sections, a plurality of external pipes arranged in manifolds, a plurality of connections between each said manifold and at least one duct section, at least one vertical duct section between duct sections in said rows, two of said walls being opposite end walls and two other of said walls being opposite side walls connecting said end walls, a first pair of said manifolds straddling the end walls at an upper region thereof and a second pair of said manifolds straddling the end walls at a lower region.
  • one of said pairs extending further beyond the other towards the center of the side walls, the other of said pairs including fluid inlets such that cooling fluid can pass from opposite ends of said one wall towards the center of the same, the fluid flowing in succession first in one direction and then in the other.
  • a mold as claimed in claim 1 comprising additional horizontal ducts in at least one additional of said walls.
  • a mold as claimed in claim 1 wherein a further of said manifolds is aligned with and between said other pair of manifolds and includes a fluid outlet.
