Continuous flow submerged combustion melter cooling wall panels, submerged combustion melters, and methods of using same
First Claim
1. A continuous flow submerged combustion melter cooling wall panel comprising:
- a primary metal plate having length (L), a width (W), first and second major surfaces, and a perimeter edge;
a plurality (N) of substantially 90 degree metal pieces welded to the primary metal plate in parallel configuration, each of the substantially 90 degree metal pieces comprising first and second metal leg plates configured to form a substantially 90 degree vertex there between, each metal leg plate having an edge distal to the vertex, the distal edge of the first metal leg plate welded to the first major surface of the primary metal plate, the distal edge of the second metal leg plate welded to the vertex of an adjacent substantially 90 degree metal piece;
N−
1 of the plurality of substantially 90 degree metal pieces having a length (1) such that 1<
L, and each welded to the primary metal plate in staggered configuration to form, along with first and second end plates, a seal plate, and one substantially 90 degree metal piece having 1=L, a serpentine continuous flow coolant channel.

Abstract
Continuous flow submerged combustion melter cooling wall panels, including a primary metal plate, and several 90 degree metal pieces welded to the primary metal plate in parallel configuration, each of the 90 degree metal pieces having metal leg plates forming a 90 degree vertex there between. Each metal leg plate has an edge distal to the vertex, the distal edge of the first metal leg plate welded to the first major surface of the primary metal plate, the distal edge of the second metal leg plate welded to the vertex of an adjacent 90 degree metal piece. The plurality of 90 degree metal pieces may have a length (l) such that l<L, each welded to the primary metal plate in staggered configuration to form, along with first and second end plates and a seal plate, a serpentine continuous flow coolant channel.
