Definitions
- the invention relates to a heating furnace for elongated goods, such as bars, blocks, bars or the like. , made of metal, in particular aluminum or aluminum alloys, with a hearth tunnel formed from continuous or segment-wise refractory, in particular thin-walled shells, which passes through the shell walls and heating elements, such as burners, hot gas nozzles or the like, which can be heated to that in the hearth tunnel longitudinally used material is directed to its direct application, as well as with an exhaust gas duct arranged in the upper furnace area.
- a heating furnace for elongated goods such as bars, blocks, bars or the like.
- the thin-walled hearth shells are inserted into the furnace structure without heat insulation. This leads to heat losses, in particular due to radiation from the outer walls of the hearth shells.
- the exhaust gas is extracted into the exhaust duct through a gap at the top of the hearth tunnel. Heat is lost when the gas travels between the hearth tunnel and the exhaust duct. Therefore, the efficiency of the known furnace is low.
- the known construction is complicated and high due to the separate arrangement of the exhaust gas duct above the hearth tunnel.
- the invention has for its object to provide a heating furnace of the type mentioned so that the energy supplied for heating is used more effectively with a simple, compact construction.
- the invention provides that the hearth tunnel is integrated in a heat insulation having 'exhaust passage.
- the thermal insulation of the exhaust gas duct covers the hearth shells of the hearth tunnel from the outside at least in their central area, so that the lower areas of the hearth shells remain free for assembly and maintenance purposes.
- a significantly improved energy efficiency e is due to the fact that the exhaust gas without any heat loss from the hearth tunnel, for example through the upper gap between the. vertical cooker halves into which the exhaust duct is transferred. Due to the construction according to the invention, the middle and upper area of the hearth tunnel is through the exhaust duct itself, ie. H. sufficient thermal insulation without any additional measures. Thermal insulation of the lower part of the tunnel is deliberately dispensed with in favor of better accessibility for assembly and maintenance purposes. According to the inventor's knowledge, the losses of radiant heat in the lower areas of the cooker shells are relatively small. The omission of heat insulation in these lower areas is very advantageous because of the space for the reception and access! Safety of units, such as burners, support frames for the cooker trays, and the conveyor for the goods to be heated remains.
- the isolating parts can protrude vertically from the support parts or nestle against the upper areas of the hob shells.
- a further development of the invention which is particularly advantageous with regard to simple assembly and disassembly is characterized in that the heat insulation is supported by support parts which are fixedly attached to a support frame of the oven and has removable insulating parts arranged above it, the lower ones of which the side of the hearth shells support and isolate.
- the burners of the upper burner rows penetrate removable insulating parts, while the burners of the lower burner rows e > are provided in the lower, non-heat-insulated area of the hob shells, and that each insulating part penetrated by burners has the same * length as the corresponding segments of the hob shells.
- the invention provides that all burner rows open into the hearth tunnel below the heat insulation and that the exhaust duct is designed as a removable assembly unit.
- This version is in terms of a simple assembly 'maintenance and training 10 exchange the oven trays particularly favorable, because the exhaust duct as a whole can be removed so that an exchange of individual or' oven trays is easily possible.
- the hot exhaust gas 15 is conducted from the flue gas duct into a preheating zone of the preheating furnace or another furnace for preheating the material (DE-OS 2637646.L, which ensures particularly economical fuel utilization.
- a preheating zone of the preheating furnace or another furnace for preheating the material DE-OS 2637646.L, which ensures particularly economical fuel utilization.
- Advantageous in this context is one Qfen embark., in which the 'Anchenrmofen with its exhaust gases a pre scarf eten beAlb precalciner 20 of the exhaust gas via at least one fan to at least one of he Rei ⁇ along the Good arranged Schl.itzriüsen leads and deflected onto the product through this.
- the construction according to the invention is particularly advantageous if the furnace space of the heating furnace is subdivided into a plurality of heating and control zones which are connected via the common flue gas duct. If individual zones are switched off when the target temperature is reached, they will be switched through the other zones despite the connection
- the flue gases only flow longitudinally in the upper p. 30 area in the common flue gas duct, advantageously in a preheating zone or for preheating the material in an upstream preheating furnace 3 in this way in a group of furnaces from the preheating furnace and the preheating furnace connected in series the 'heat - :. nhalt optimum use of the fuel.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section along the line I-I in Figure 3 by a first embodiment of a heating furnace according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a partially sectioned side view through a furnace group comprising a preheating furnace and an upstream preheating furnace according to an embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3 by a
- Preheating furnace of the furnace group which is connected upstream of a heating furnace according to FIGS. 1 or 2.
- the heating furnaces shown have a support frame 10 made of a steel structure.
- a double-strand conveyor chain 13 with attached support devices 12 for the material 1 to be heated such as
- Rods or bars are provided which intermittently transport the material through the cylindrical hearth tunnel 15 formed by half-cylindrical hearth shell halves 14.
- the stove peels 14 are in their lower
- only one burner row with pre-burners 18 arranged in longitudinal rows perpendicular to the plane of the drawing are provided per hearth bowl row 14.
- the burners 1 & have burner nozzles 20 which protrude through openings 21 of the hearth shells into the cylindrical hearth tunnel 15 and act directly on the material.
- the burners 18 are arranged in such a way that when the material 1 of different diameters is warmed up, good use of the surface for heat transfer and rotationally symmetrical temperature distribution over the cross section of the material is achieved.
- the burner nozzles 20 are set in their performance so that the desired temperature distribution is generated.
- hot gas nozzles can also be provided for heating, which act on the material 1, for example with hot air, which can be heated electrically in a known manner.
- the exhaust gases leave the hearth space 15 upwards through a longitudinal gap 30 formed by the hearth shell halves 14 at the spacers 17, from which they pass directly into an exhaust gas channel 32 via a vertical channel 31. From this, the exhaust gas is conveyed into a preheating zone (not shown) for the material 1, which precedes the preheating furnace, for. B. sucked by means of fans, not shown. From the- gas duct has thermal insulation, the lower insulating parts 54 of which extend over the entire length of the furnace, leave a gap for the hearth tunnel 15 and can be placed on the middle regions of the hearth shells 14 from the outside.
- the lower insulating parts 54 are supported by supports 52 which are fixedly attached to the support frame 10.
- the main or upper section of the exhaust duct 32 is formed by two vertical insulating parts 56 and an upper insulating part 58 which is integral therewith.
- the insulating parts 56, 58 of the upper part also extend over the entire length of the furnace.
- the main section 56, 58 can thus be removed as a whole.
- the hearth shells 14 are then held laterally by the lower insulating parts 54, but after removal of the spacers 17 can be removed individually by gently pivoting inward about the respective pivot point on the mounting rails 16 for replacement.
- the heat insulation has e.g. B. two layers, of which the inner consists of good heat-insulating but poorly storing ceramic fibers, while the outer layer, which is in the range of lower temperatures, consists of mineral fibers.
- FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 only in that in addition to the lower row of burners 18, an upper row of burners 19 is provided for each range of stoves.
- An adjustable throttle valve 24 is arranged in the fuel feed line 23 in order to set the upper burners in relation to the lower burners.
- the additional upper rows of burners require the interposition of vertical isolating parts 59, which are divided into segments corresponding to the hearth shells 14, between the lower isolating parts 54 extending over the entire length of the furnace and the main or upper part of the exhaust channel 32, the insulating parts 60, 62, 64, in turn, a composite ⁇ continuous, uniform whole constitute as wegappelbares piece.
- piece 60, 62, 64 must be lifted off.
- the corresponding insulating parts 59 must be removed so that the associated hearths 14 can be replaced after removing the spacers as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- the somewhat more complicated structure in comparison with FIG. 1 is the price for the higher uniformity of the heating of the material achieved.
- Fig. 3 shows in the right half a side view of a preheating furnace designated here by 90 according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 and in the left half a pre-preheating furnace which is heated by the exhaust gases of the preheating furnace.
- the exhaust gas duct 32 opens out via an opening 33 in the right-hand end wall 34 in FIG. 3 of the preheating furnace, which is designated overall by the reference number 40 and is shown in more detail in FIG. 4.
- the material 1 is conveyed through treatment rooms 45 of each circulation zone 4 by means of the double-strand conveyor chain 13 in the transport direction T, which passes through both ovens 40, 90.
