Patent number: 8658084Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the flow rate and for slowing down melt streams through magnetic fields in the tapping of metallurgical containers such as blast furnaces and melt furnaces. The method is characterized in that the melt stream is routed in a closed routing element using at least two magnetic fields disposed in series one after the other in the flow direction of the melt, said magnetic fields having a constant polarity opposite to one another, in such a way that the magnetic field lines transversally penetrate the melt flow across the entire cross section thereof and such that opposite voltages are induced in the melt stream by the magnetic fields, there being at least three eddy current fields produced thereby in the melt stream that are disposed axially one after the other, and that due to the interactions between the magnetic fields and the eddy currents forces are generated that can be used to reduce the flow rate of the melt stream.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2009Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: TMT Tapping-Measuring-Technology GmbHInventor: Hans-Uwe Morgenstern

Publication number: 20130203335Abstract: The invention relates to a diaphragm device (38) and to a method for protecting an optical observation opening (39), in particular for protecting the observation opening against contaminants from a dirty atmosphere (35) in a blast furnace or the like, having a nozzle unit and a purging gas chamber (43), wherein the nozzle unit forms a diaphragm aperture (26) for the observation opening and is used to form a purging gas flow, wherein the purging gas chamber is formed between an optical surface (41) of the observation opening and the diaphragm aperture. A purging gas is applied to the purging gas chamber and purging gas can be led through the diaphragm aperture into the dirty atmosphere, wherein the nozzle unit has a flow guiding device (31, 49) which effects guidance of the flow of purging gas escaping into the dirty atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: TMT TAPPING-MEASURING-TECHNOLOGY GmbHInventors: Hans-Uwe Morgenstern, Ulrich Oster

Patent number: 8343416Abstract: A regulating device regulates the flow rate of non-ferromagnetic, electrically conducting liquids and melt streams through magnetic fields inducing eddy currents in the melt stream. In a preferred embodiment, the regulating device controls the melt stream using at least one stationary magnetic field with a constant polarity, at least one stationary magnetic alternating field or using a multi-poled magnetic travelling field, in such a way that the magnetic field lines transversally penetrate the melt flow across the entire cross section thereof and such that a voltage is induced in the melt stream by the magnetic fields.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: TMT Tapping-Measuring-Technology GmbHInventor: Hans-Uwe Morgenstern

Patent number: 8343418Abstract: The embodiments of the invention relate to a tap hole plug gun for metallurgical furnaces, having a pressure cylinder for receiving the plugging compound, which has a closable filling opening for the plugging compound, and having a plugging piston for pressing the plugging compound out from a mouthpiece of the pressure cylinder pressed against the tap hole of a furnace. The pivotable safety flap for closing the filling opening of the pressure cylinder for the plugging compound is equipped with a stop, which is pivoted into the cylinder chamber of the pressure cylinder upon opening of the flap to decelerate an unintentional forward stroke of the plugging piston for pre-compression and expulsion of the plugging compound, and is pivoted out of the cylinder chamber upon closing of the safety flap.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: TMT Tapping-Measuring- Technology GmbHInventors: John Paul Vincent, Johannes Jacobus Goosen
