Abstract

A device for evaporative cooling of metallurgical furnaces, wherein cooling members are interconnected and each member has at least two rows of coils for passing the coolant arranged in parallel relationship to the working surface of the cooling member and along the width of the cooling member.

Claims

1. A device for evaporative cooling of metallurgical furnaces, preferably of blast furnaces, comprising cooling members with pipes for passing the coolant interconnected in series and facing the furnace with its working surface, said pipes being made as coils arranged in at least two rows in each cooling member so that their longitudinal axes lie in planes parallel to the working surface of the cooling member, the loops of the coils being arranged along the width of the cooling member transversely to the longitudinal axis thereof.

2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein in each said cooling member the loops of the coil disposed in one row are mutually shifted relative to the loops of the coil of the other row.

3. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the coils of the cooling members in the rows equally spaced from their working surface are interconnected.

4. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the coil of the preceding cooling member which is disposed nearer to its working surface is connected to the coil of the successive cooling member which is disposed farther away from its working surface, and the coil of the preceding cooling member which is disposed farther away from its working surface is connected with the coil of the successive cooling member which is disposed nearer to its working surface.
