A DEVICE IN CONNECTION WITH A THERMALLY COMPENSATED STRUCTURAL ELEMENT AND ITS APPLICATION

摘要

A thermally compensated structural element (1) comprising an upper element ( 2) and a lower element (3). The upper element consists of an angle section with a mainly horizontal part (15) and a mainly vertical part (16). The lower eleme nt (3) is designed with a base part (17) and a vertical part (18). The upper element (2) and the lower element (3) are both connected to connection elements (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) in such a way that thermally induced expansion/contraction is compensated for. The solution comprises further features which will contribute to preventing distortion of the structural element. Structural elements of the above type may be used in a base frame f or covers which are used in thermal processes such as section covers for use in furnaces for calcining of carbon bodies.
