  • COOLING PLATE FOR AN IRON- OR STEELMAKING FURNACE
    Publication number: 20090205543
    Abstract: A cooling plate for an iron and steelmaking furnace includes a copper cooling plate body having at least one cooling duct for a cooling medium extending essentially parallel with the back of the cooling plate body. The cooling plate body further includes a preformed, externally accessible recess into which the cooling duct opens. A connection piece is utilized as a cooling medium connection on the back of the cooling plate body, while a formed piece fitted within the externally accessible recess forms a deflection surface for the cooling medium flowing from the connection piece into the cooling duct, or from the cooling duct into the connection piece.

  • Method of Producing a cooling plate for iron and steel-making furnaces
    Patent number: 6470958
    Abstract: A method for production of a cooling plate (50, 80) with integrated coolant ducts (52, 84) for iron and steel making furnaces, in particular blast furnaces, is described. A preform of the cooling plate (50, 80) is continuously cast by a continuous casting mould (10), wherein rod-shaped inserts (28) in the casting duct (20) of the continuous casting mould (10) produce in this preform ducts (52, 84) running in the continuous casting direction, which form coolant ducts in the finished cooling plate.
