COOLING PLATE FOR A METALLURGICAL FURNACE AND ITS METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

A cooling plate (10) for a metallurgical furnace comprises a body (12) with a front face (14), an opposite rear face (16), four side edges (18, 18', 20, 20') and at least one coolant channel (30) extending from the region of one side edge (20) to the region of the opposite side edge (20'). A bent connection pipe (26, 28) connects at least one extremity of each coolant channel (30) for coolant fluid feed or return. The bent connection pipe (26, 28) is sealingly connected with the extremity of the associated coolant channel (30) within a respective recess (32) in the body (12) that is opened toward the rear side (16), wherein the coolant channel (34) opens in said recess in a connection surface (34) beveled towards the rear side (16); and the bent connection pipe (26, 28) does not extend laterally beyond the corresponding side edge (20, 20').
