  • the sides and bottom of the casing are made from elongated metal plates 22 and 23, respectively.

  • the trough 12 is rigidly supported within the casing by means of vertical compression supports 32 and horizontal compression supports 34.
  • These supports are in the form of metal rods 35, made for example of stainless steel, extending through the bottom braces 28 and the side braces 27 through holes in the plates 23 and 22, and the thermal insulation material 46 and 47 to contact the trough at the bottom 15 and lower ends of the sides 14.
  • the inner ends of the rods 35 are provided with enlarged metal contact pads 36 that spread the load applied by the rods to the trough 12 to avoid damage to the trough.
  • the vertical compression supports 32 not only support the trough but apply compressive force, which is possible because the top edges 16 of the trough are trapped beneath the top plates 20 of the casing that are held down firmly by bolts 37.
  • the horizontal compression supports 34 also apply compressive force adjacent to the bottom of the trough, with supports being positioned opposite to each other to
  • the compression supports suspend the trough within the casing while leaving spaces 40 and 42 separating the outer surfaces of the trough from the casing at the sides and bottom of the trough, respectively.
  • the compressive supports accommodate any expansion and contraction of the trough, and of the casing, caused by thermal cycling, by virtue of compression washers 44 located below heads 45 of bolts passing through compression supports 32 and 34..
  • layers 46 and 47 of thermal insulating material Positioned within the spaces 40 and 42 are layers 46 and 47 of thermal insulating material. These layers may be made of any suitable heat-resistant thermal insulation, e.g. boards made of refractory ceramics such as alumina.
  • the layers 46 and 47 are narrower than the spaces 40 and 42, at least at the sides of the trough, and thus create unfilled continuous gaps 49 and 50 between the insulating layers and inner surfaces of the casing. These gaps are maintained by spacing bolts 48 which hold the layers of insulation away from the internal surface of the side plates 22. Gaps 51 and 52 are also formed between the insulating layers 46 and 47 and the external surface of the trough 12. However, the outer gaps 49 at the side of the casing are fully vented to the external atmosphere since they communicate with upper openings 54 and lower
  • the lower openings 55 are in fact open channels running the length of the structure formed between side plates 22 and bottom plate 23 of the casing since these plates are held in such a manner that their edges do not meet.
  • the upper openings 54 are slots formed in the top plates 20, as best seen from Fig. 1. There are several such slots on each side of the trough arranged longitudinally along the top plates 20. As indicated by the arrows shown in Fig. 2, the upper and lower openings 54 and 55 allow external air to enter the gaps 49, to pass upwardly through the gaps due to convection caused by heating of the air, and to pass out of the gaps and the casing through the upper openings 54.
  • the gaps and openings thus provide a passive form of cooling that removes heat from the interior of the structure adjacent to the internal surface of the casing, and thus help to lower the temperature of the casing walls, thereby reducing the likelihood of warping, distortion and damage, and reducing the risk of burns to the operators.
  • the gap 50 at the bottom of the casing is also vented to the exterior by virtue of the communication of this gap with the side gaps 49, as shown.
  • the bottom of the casing is thus also reduced in temperature due to this venting.
  • the width of the side gaps 49 and the size of openings 54 and 55 are preferably such that a relatively slow laminar flow of air passes through the gaps 49 without causing turbulence because turbulence may increase heat transfer across the gap.
  • the optimum width of the gap is a function of the height of the trough, the surface characteristics of the insulating layers 46 and 47, and the design of the top plate 20, as well as the pressure, moisture content and temperature of the air, so the optimum width may vary according to such parameters.
  • a gap of less than 0.06 inch (2mm) is difficult to maintain over the length of the structure due to cutting and welding tolerances.
  • the width of the top plate 20 must increase, and this requires the plate to be made of a thicker gauge steel or the provision of supporting ribs to withstand the bending moment caused by the vertical compression of the refractory trough.
  • a gap having a width greater than about 2 inches (5.1cm), or even 1 inch (2.5cm) may be problematic, and gaps wider than about 0.375 inch (1cm), or even 0.25 inch (6mm), may require extra structural support for the top plates.
  • the openings 54 and 55 are made suitable in size and possibly shape to promote the smooth laminar flow of the air through the gaps, and indeed the upper openings 54 may be the most important for controlling the air flow.
  • a suitable ratio of the opening size to that of the gap may be chosen by trial and experimentation or by computer modelling techniques.
  • the gaps 51 and 52 formed on the trough side of the insulation layers 46 and 47 are not vented to the exterior in the illustrated exemplary embodiment so they act as unvented thermal breaks or air gaps, but they may alternatively be vented through the provision of appropriate openings, e.g. small upper and lower openings in the insulating layers 46 and 47 providing communication with gaps 49 and 50, in order to produce further vented cooling of the structure. However, even if such additional venting is not provided, the gaps 51 and 52 provide additional thermal isolation of the trough from the casing.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates how the end compression flanges 30 may be placed under compression to act on the ends of trough 12.
  • the flanges 30 are movable relative to the remainder of the casing and are attached to bolts 60 which pass through an adjacent rib 25.
  • Rotation of bolt heads 61 draw the flange 20 axially inwardly and the flange in turn presses on the longitudinal end of the trough 12 (Fig. 2).
  • Compression washers 62 positioned between the bolt head 61 and the rib 25 allow for slight movements of the trough due to contraction and expansion caused by thermal cycling.
  • insulating layers 46 and 47 may be entirely absent from the structure so that just the passive air ventilation is relied upon to protect the outer metal casing from exposure to high temperatures.
  • the vented gap may be provided on the vessel side of the insulating layers rather than on the casing side as shown, although this may have the effect of withdrawing large amounts of heat from the trough.
  • the gap on the trough side of the insulation may be passively vented by providing holes or slots in the bottom layer 47 of insulation and in the side layers 46 of insulation near the top.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 does not include heating means for the trough within the casing, but the use of such heating means is possible.
  • electrical heating elements may be provided in the gaps 51 at each side of the trough 12.
  • Other examples of trough structures having heating means are disclosed in U.S. patent No. 6,973,955 which issued to Tingey et al. on December 13, 2005 (the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by this reference).
  • the rods 35 of the vertical and horizontal compression supports are desirable to make the rods 35 of the vertical and horizontal compression supports partially or fully out of a refractory ceramic material, e.g. alumina, rather than out of metal. This is because the rods are subjected to higher temperatures when heating means are provided within the casing, and such temperatures may cause metal rods to deform or lose compressive strength.
