Abstract: A cooling system for the distribution and collection of a fluid coolant in a metallurgical vessel used in the processing of molten materials. The cooling system comprises a distribution system including an intake manifold, a plurality of headers attached to the intake manifold, and a plurality of distribution dispensers positioned along each header. A collection system, including a collection manifold, is positioned to collect the fluid coolant. The distribution dispensers are positioned to direct the fluid coolant towards the collection manifold and utilize the majority of the kinetic energy contained within the coolant to direct the coolant towards the collection manifold.

Abstract: Spray cooled side wall and tap hole cover for an eccentric bottom tap (EBT) electric furnace which is unitary, i.e. one-piece, and has an inter-connected coolant supply and inter-connected spent coolant drain.

Abstract: Jet nozzle for providing a solid cone jet having a housing with a cylindrical bore with different sized removeable caps at each end, one cap having an outwardly flaring nozzle portion and the other cap having an inner surface with discrete raised portions. A washer with an integral key is provided to engage a notch as the fluid inlet means for the nozzle to lock the nozzle in a pre-determined orientation.

Abstract: Spray cooled roof assembly for a metallurgical vessel, e.g. an electric arc furnace, comprising two spray cooled components, one of which covers a major portion of the furnace, and the other component of the roof assembly having an integral spray cooled extension for the removal of heated gases from the furnace.

Abstract: Spray cooled roof for a metallurgical furnace in the form of an assembly of separate hollow metal sections, each of which has a separate spray cooling system.

Abstract: Two component spray cooled roof for electric furnaces to accommodate off-center electrode positions.
