Definitions
- the invention relates to a control and closure device for a metallurgical vessel, in which a rotor is rotatably mounted in a stator arranged in a vessel wall, the stator and the rotor having flow openings which can be brought to congruence by rotation, and in the rotor there is a flow channel for the melt .
- Such a device is described in EP 0 361 052 B1. Heating of the melt in the area of this device is not provided. In borderline cases, the melt can assume a temperature that is too low for undisturbed operation. For example, the melt can freeze between sealing surfaces that exist in the vicinity of the flow openings.
- DE 44 05 082 A1 describes an electromagnetic flow control device (EMC) with a nozzle in combination with an on / off valve, namely a slide closure. Since the nozzle consists of electrically non-conductive material, the melt in it couples, but the nozzle itself to the electromagnetic one Field of the coil does not appear. In the slide closure, the electromagnetic field for melting should couple to the melt which may have solidified there. Since the slide is located far outside the field of the coil, this is hardly possible, at best very delayed.
- EMC electromagnetic flow control device
- the coupling of the melt for the purpose of flow regulation is always associated with an increase in the temperature of the melt.
- throttling the melt flow is not possible regardless of the heating of the melt.
- the object of the invention is to propose a control and closure device of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the throttling or control and the closure of a melt flow from a vessel are integrated with a possibility of heating the melt.
- the heating should preferably take place independently of the control or closure function.
- the above object is achieved in a control and closure device of the type mentioned in the introduction in that the rotor is surrounded by an inductor, to the field of which the melt in the flow channel or the rotor can be electromagnetically coupled.
- the melt flow can be throttled and interrupted by rotating the rotor and the melt can be heated so that it does not freeze or can be melted after any freezing or can be reheated if necessary. If the rotor couples to the electromagnetic field, the melt is heated by heat transfer from the rotor. Throttling and closing take place independently of the heating by turning the rotor.
- melt couples itself to the electromagnetic field, it is directly heated by it.
- the closing can be done independently by turning the rotor.
- a throttling function results from the action of the electromagnetic field. This can be reinforced by a displacement body in the flow channel.
- the melt flow can also be controlled by rotating the rotor.
- Figure 1 shows a control and closure device on a metallurgical vessel in section
- Figure 2 is a view corresponding to Figure 1 of another
- a stator (1) made of refractory, ceramic material is inserted into a vessel bottom (2) of a metallurgical vessel.
- the stator (1) has at least one flow opening (3) on the side, which opens into the interior of the vessel.
- a hollow cylindrical rotor (4) is mounted in the stator (1) so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis (A).
- the rotor (4) has at least one flow opening (5) corresponding to the flow opening (3), which opens into a coaxial flow channel (6) existing in the rotor (4).
- the flow openings (3, 5) can be more or less congruent, so that the melt flow from the inside of the vessel into the flow channel (6) can be more or less throttled and interrupted.
- the rotor (4) is enclosed by an inductor (11) which is formed by a cooled electromagnetic coil.
- the inductor (11) is built into the vessel bottom (2), which can have a special perforated brick for this purpose.
- the stator (1) consists of an electrically non-conductive, refractory, ceramic material.
- the rotor (4) is made of an electrically conductive, refractory, ceramic material, for example a resin-bound, high-alumina material. The rotor (4), but not or only insignificantly the melt flowing through the flow channel (6), thereby couples to the electromagnetic field of the inductor (11).
- the mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 is as follows:
- the rotor (4) is rotated about the axis (A) in a manner known per se. Irrespective of this, the melt temperature can be influenced.
- the inductor (11) is switched on, whereby the rotor (4) is heated.
- the heat of the rotor (4) is transferred to the melt in the flow channel (6) and in the flow opening (5) by heat conduction and / or heat radiation.
- the melt temperature can thereby be increased in a desired manner, which among other things also prevents melt from freezing between the sealing surfaces (7). If, in the closed position of the rotor (4), about the melt solidifies between the sealing surfaces (7), it can be melted by switching on the inductor (11).
- the rotor (4) in contrast to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the rotor (4) consists of an electrically non-conductive, refractory, ceramic material, such as zirconium oxide. The rotor (4) does not couple to the electromagnetic field of the inductor (11).
- a central displacement body (12) is installed in the flow channel (6) of the rotor (4). Otherwise, the structure is the same as that of FIG. 1.
- the mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2 is as follows:
- the melt flow can be throttled and shut off by turning the rotor (4).
- the inductor (11) If the inductor (11) is switched on, its electromagnetic field acts directly on the melt in the flow channel (6) and in the flow openings (5, 3). On the one hand, this results in a narrowing of the melt flow cross-section and thus throttling of the melt flow and, on the other hand, in a heating of the melt.
- the throttling effect is increased by the displacement body (12).
- the regulation of the melt flow can thus be achieved here by the electromagnetic field of the inductor (11) alone and, if necessary, additionally by turning the rotor (4).
- the displacement body (12) is not absolutely necessary for this.
- Heating the melt ensures that it cannot freeze.
