SIDE WALL COOLING FOR A MELTING FURNACE

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling device for a melting furnace, in particular for cooling a liquid slag (S) in a reduction furnace. The device comprises a lining (3) for laterally shielding a liquid molten metal bath (M) and a liquid slag (S) which is located on said bath, and the device also comprises a metal plate (5) which is arranged on a lining (3) side facing away from the molten metal bath (M) and the slag (S). The metal plate (5) comprises a plurality of slots (13) which are oriented in a substantially vertical manner and which are arranged adjacently to one another, wherein one copper plate (7) extends into the lining (3) through each of the slots (13) substantially perpendicular to the metal plate (5). The device further comprises cooling channels (9) through which coolant can flow and each of which is arranged between two adjacently arranged slots (13) and the copper plates (7) extending through said slots (13) on the metal plate (5) side facing away from the molten metal bath (M) and the slag (S). The invention additionally relates to a furnace comprising the cooling device and to a method for producing such a cooling device or such a furnace.
