- An alternative embodiment provides to make the section of the first gas line meandering.
- the affected section of the first gas line to be cooled can be guided through a second gas distribution chamber, into which the second gas line opens and from which the second rinsing zone extends.
- the second gas distribution chamber fulfills a plurality of functions. Firstly, it serves to distribute the gas supplied via the second gas line and thus equalize the pressure conditions before the gas is introduced into the second rinse zone.
- the volume of the gas distribution chamber can be used to receive the section of the first gas line to be cooled, so that this section can be surrounded on all sides with cooling gas.
- the cooling effect and thus the safety of the gas purging device is increased if the second gas distribution chamber has no direct fluidic connection to the first rinsing zone. This can be achieved, for example, by sealing the first gas line, with the exception of the partial section to be cooled, with respect to the second gas distribution chamber.
- the partial section of the first gas line to be cooled can run between sections of the gas line which are aligned with one another.
- a first, more or less rectilinear, gas supply end of the gas line said subsection joins, for example, in a design that is similar to a ring portion or meandering and opens into another, gas outlet side portion of the gas line, which is aligned with the gas inlet side End of the gas line runs.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gasspüleinrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise in metallurgischen Schmelzgefäßen (wie Konverter, Pfanne, Tundish) verwendet wird, um ein Gas, gegebenenfalls in Kombination mit fein verteilten Feststoffen, in eine metallurgische Schmelze einzublasen.The invention relates to a gas purging device, as used for example in metallurgical melting vessels (such as converter, pan, Tundish) to inject a gas, optionally in combination with finely divided solids in a metallurgical melt.

Beim Fugenspüler erfolgt die Gaszufuhr beispielsweise über einen Ringspalt zwischen einem dichten keramischen Körper und einem umfangsseitigen Blechmantel.When Fugenspüler the gas supply takes place for example via an annular gap between a dense ceramic body and a peripheral metal jacket.
Gasspüleinrichtungen (Gasspülsteine) mit so genannter "gerichteter Porosität" bestehen üblicherweise aus einem feuerfesten keramischen Körper, in dem mehrere Kanäle (mit geringem Strömungsquerschnitt) in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung verlaufen. Das Gas wird an einem Ende zugeführt, durch die Kanäle geleitet und am anderen Ende aus den Kanälen in die Metallschmelze abgegeben. Der Weg des Gases durch einen Gasspülstein mit gerichteter Porosität ist weitestgehend linear und häufig in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung, wenngleich Ausführungsformen bekannt sind, bei denen die Kanäle im Verhältnis zur Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung schräg und/oder gewendelt verlaufen.Gas purging devices (gas purging bricks) with so-called "directed porosity" usually consist of a refractory ceramic body, in which several channels (with a small flow cross-section) run in the axial direction of the gas purging device. The gas is supplied at one end, passed through the channels and discharged at the other end from the channels into the molten metal. The path of the gas through a gas purging plug of directional porosity is largely linear and often in the axial direction of the gas purging device, although embodiments are known in which the passages are oblique and / or coiled relative to the axial direction of the gas purging device.
Bei Gasspülsteinen mit so genannter "ungerichteter Porosität" weist der feuerfeste keramische Körper eine hohe offene Porosität auf. Das Gas durchströmt diesen Körper also nicht entlang definierter Kanäle, sondern strömt von Pore zu Pore vom gaseinlassseitigen Ende zum gasauslassseitigen Ende, wobei aber auch dieser Strömungsweg im Wesentlichen in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung erfolgt.In gas purging bricks with so-called "undirected porosity", the refractory ceramic body has a high open porosity. The gas thus does not flow through this body along defined channels, but flows from pore to pore from the gas inlet side end to the gas outlet side end, but also this flow path takes place substantially in the axial direction of the gas purging device.
Sofern nachstehend von "Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung" gesprochen wird, so ist damit die Hauptrichtung gemeint, in der das Gas die Spüleinrichtung durchströmt. Bei einem zylinderförmigen beziehungsweise kegelstumpfförmigen Gasspülstein ist die Axialrichtung identisch mit der Mittenlängsachse der Gasspüleinrichtung.If it is referred to below as the "axial direction of the gas purging device", this means the main direction in which the gas flows through the purging device. In the case of a cylindrical or truncated conical gas purging plug, the axial direction is identical to the central longitudinal axis of the gas purging device.
Kombinationen der genannten Ausführungsformen von Gasspüleinrichtungen gehören ebenfalls zum Stand der Technik (

Die Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Gasspüleinrichtung der gattungsgernäßen Art anzubieten, die einen hohen Sicherheitsstandard schafft und einen Durchbruch von Metallschmelze zuverlässig verhindert.The invention is based on the object to offer a gas purging device of generic type, which creates a high safety standard and reliably prevents a breakthrough of molten metal.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, die Gasspüleinrichtung mit mindestens zwei Spülzonen auszubilden, die zwar unmittelbar nebeneinander verlaufen können, aber getrennt mit Gas versorgt werden. Der weitere Erfindungsgedanke besteht darin, das einer Spülzone zugeführte Spülgas zu nutzen, gleichzeitig eine einer weiteren Spülzone zugeordnete Gasleitung zu kühlen. Diese Kühlung ist im Regelbetrieb der Gasspüleinrichtung nicht notwendig; sie schafft aber die Möglichkeit, im Fall einer Infiltration von Metallschmelze in diese Gasleitung die Metallschmelze einzufrieren und damit ein weiteres Eindringen der Metallschmelze und eine Zerstörung der Gasspüleinrichtung zu verhindern. Die Erfindung hat weiters erkannt, dass dieses Sicherheitsmerkmal nur dann zuverlässig erreicht wird, wenn der gekühlte Teilabschnitt der betroffenen Gasleitung eine Orientierung hat, die von der Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung abweicht, wobei die Orientierung dieses Teilabschnittes im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Hauptrichtung der Gasleitung (= Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung) sein sollte.The basic idea of the invention is to design the gas purging device with at least two rinsing zones which, although they can run directly next to one another, are supplied with gas separately. The further idea of the invention consists in using the purge gas supplied to a purge zone, at the same time cooling a gas conduit associated with a further purge zone. This cooling is in normal operation the gas flushing device not necessary; However, it creates the possibility, in the case of infiltration of molten metal in this gas line to freeze the molten metal and thus further penetration of the molten metal and destruction of the Gas purifier to prevent. The invention has further recognized that this safety feature is reliably achieved only when the cooled section of the gas line concerned has an orientation which deviates from the axial direction of the gas purging device, wherein the orientation of this section substantially perpendicular to the main direction of the gas line (= axial direction of Gas flushing device should be).
In ihrer allgemeinsten Ausführungsform betrifft die Erfindung eine Gasspüleinrichtung mit einer ersten Spülzone, die von einer ersten Gasleitung mit Gas versorgt wird, und eine zweite Spülzone, die von einer zweiten Gasleitung mit Gas versorgt wird, wobei sich erste und zweite Spülzone in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung erstrecken und die erste Gasleitung einen Teilabschnitt aufweist, der unter einem Winkel von 90° ± 45° zur Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung verläuft und so angeordnet ist, dass dieser Teilabschnitt von dem über die zweite Gasleitung zugeführten Gas umspült wird.In its most general embodiment, the invention relates to a gas purging device having a first rinsing zone, which is supplied with gas from a first gas line, and a second rinsing zone, which is supplied with gas by a second gas line, wherein the first and second rinsing zones extend in the axial direction of the gas rinsing device and the first gas conduit has a subsection extending at an angle of 90 ° ± 45 ° to the axial direction of the gas purging device and arranged so as to surround this subsection with the gas supplied via the second gas conduit.
Sofern eine Metallschmelze in die Gasspüleinrichtung eindringt wird die Strömungsrichtung der Metallschmelze grundsätzlich der Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung entsprechen. Spätestens im Bereich des gekühlten Teilabschnitts der ersten Gasleitung erfolgt dann eine Umlenkung und damit eine Verlangsamung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit. Durch die Kühlung dieses Teilabschnitts mit Hilfe des Spülgases lässt sich die Viskosität der eingedrungenen Schmelze rasch erhöhen und der weitere Schmelze-Fluss zum Stillstand bringen.If a molten metal penetrates into the gas purging device, the flow direction of the molten metal will basically correspond to the axial direction of the gas purging device. At the latest in the area of the cooled subsection of the first gas line, a diversion and thus a slowing down of the flow velocity take place. By cooling this section using the purge gas can be the viscosity of the melt penetrate rapidly increase and bring the further melt flow to a standstill.
Die Reduzierung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und die Erhöhung der Kontakt-Oberfläche zwischen dem genannten Teilabschnitt und dem genannten Kühlgas kann optimiert werden, wenn der entsprechende Teilabschnitt mehr oder weniger rechtwinklig (senkrecht) zur Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung verläuft und möglichst lang ist.The reduction of the flow velocity and the increase of the contact surface between said portion and said cooling gas can be optimized if the corresponding portion extends more or less perpendicular (perpendicular) to the axial direction of the gas purging device and is as long as possible.
Zu diesem Zweck kann der Teilabschnitt der ersten Gasleitung eine Ringform oder die Form eines Teils eines Rings aufweisen. Eine alternative Ausführungsform sieht vor, den Teilabschnitt der ersten Gasleitung mäanderförmig zu gestalten.For this purpose, the portion of the first gas conduit may have a ring shape or the shape of a part of a ring. An alternative embodiment provides to make the section of the first gas line meandering.
Der betroffene, zu kühlende Teilabschnitt der ersten Gasleitung kann durch eine zweite Gasverteilkammer geführt sein, in die die zweite Gasleitung einmündet und von der sich die zweite Spülzone erstreckt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfüllt die zweite Gasverteilkammer mehrere Funktionen: Zum einen dient sie der Verteilung des über die zweite Gasleitung zugeführten Gases und damit einer Vergleichmäßigung der Druckverhältnisse bevor das Gas in die zweite Spülzone eingeführt wird. Zum anderen kann das Volumen der Gasverteilkammer genutzt werden, den zu kühlenden Teilabschnitt der ersten Gasleitung aufzunehmen, so dass dieser Teilabschnitt allseitig mit Kühlgas umspült werden kann.The affected section of the first gas line to be cooled can be guided through a second gas distribution chamber, into which the second gas line opens and from which the second rinsing zone extends. In this embodiment, the second gas distribution chamber fulfills a plurality of functions. Firstly, it serves to distribute the gas supplied via the second gas line and thus equalize the pressure conditions before the gas is introduced into the second rinse zone. On the other hand, the volume of the gas distribution chamber can be used to receive the section of the first gas line to be cooled, so that this section can be surrounded on all sides with cooling gas.
Die Kühlwirkung und damit die Sicherheit der Gasspüleinrichtung wird erhöht, wenn die zweite Gasverteilkammer keine unmittelbare strömungstechnische Verbindung zur ersten Spülzone hat. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, indem die erste Gasleitung mit Ausnahme des zu kühlenden Teilabschnitts gegenüber der zweiten Gasverteilkammer abgedichtet wird.The cooling effect and thus the safety of the gas purging device is increased if the second gas distribution chamber has no direct fluidic connection to the first rinsing zone. This can be achieved, for example, by sealing the first gas line, with the exception of the partial section to be cooled, with respect to the second gas distribution chamber.
Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, indem zwischen der betroffenen Gasleitung und benachbarten Bauteilen eine oder mehrere Dichtungen vorgesehen werden.This can be achieved, for example, by providing one or more seals between the affected gas line and adjacent components.
Der zu kühlende Teilabschnitt der ersten Gasleitung kann zwischen Abschnitten der Gasleitung verlaufen, die miteinander fluchten. Mit anderen Worten: An ein erstes, mehr oder weniger geradliniges, gaszuführseitiges Ende der Gasleitung schließt sich der genannte Teilabschnitt beispielsweise in einer Bauform an, die einem Ringabschnitt ähnelt oder mäanderförmig ist und in einen weiteren, gasauslassseitigen Abschnitt der Gasleitung einmündet, der fluchtend zum gaseinlassseitigen Ende der Gasleitung verläuft.The partial section of the first gas line to be cooled can run between sections of the gas line which are aligned with one another. In other words, a first, more or less rectilinear, gas supply end of the gas line, said subsection joins, for example, in a design that is similar to a ring portion or meandering and opens into another, gas outlet side portion of the gas line, which is aligned with the gas inlet side End of the gas line runs.
Das über die erste Gasleitung zugeführte Gas kann in eine erste Gasverteilkammer münden, von der sich die erste Spülzone erstreckt. Dies gilt selbstverständlich analog für andere Ausführungsformen der ersten Gasleitung.The gas supplied via the first gas line can open into a first gas distribution chamber from which the first rinsing zone extends. Of course, this applies analogously to other embodiments of the first gas line.
Die erste Spülzone kann ebenso wie die zweite Spülzone aus einem feuerfesten keramischen Werkstoff bestehen und eine gerichtete oder ungerichtete Porosität aufweisen. Es ist auch möglich, eine erste Spülzone mit gerichteter Porosität und eine zweite Spülzone mit ungerichteter Porosität auszubilden. Ebenso können beiden Spülzonen jeweils gerichtete oder ungerichtete Porosität aufweisen. Die Gasspüleinrichtung gemäß der Erfindung kann mit mehr als zwei Spülzonen ausgebildet werden, wobei weitere Spülzonen entweder über die Gasleitungen für die erste und zweite Spülzone mit versorgt werden. Oder ist es möglich, weitere Spülzonen über getrennte Gasleitungen mit Gas und/oder Gas-/Feststoffgemischen zu versorgen.The first rinse zone, like the second rinse zone, may be made of a refractory ceramic material and may have directional or non-directional porosity. It is also possible to form a first purge zone of directional porosity and a second purge zone of undirected porosity. Likewise, both rinse zones may each have directional or non-directional porosity. The gas purging device according to the invention can be formed with more than two rinsing zones, with further rinsing zones either via the gas lines for the first and second rinsing zone are supplied. Or it is possible to provide additional rinse zones via separate gas lines with gas and / or gas / solid mixtures.
Die Anordnung der einzelnen Spülzonen ist grundsätzlich nicht entscheidend. Eine kompakte Ausführungsform ergibt sich jedoch, wenn die zweite Spülzone die erste Spülzone konzentrisch umgibt. Dabei kann beispielsweise die mittig, axial verlaufende erste Spülzone mit gerichteter Porosität ausgebildet sein und von einer mehr oder weniger zylinderförmigen zweiten Spülzone mit ungerichteter Porosität umgeben sein. Beide Spülzonen können am gaseinlassseitigen Ende über eine jeweils zugeordnete Gasverteilkammer mit Gas versorgt werden, wobei erfindungsgemäß eine Gasleitung durch eine Gasverteilkammer läuft und von dem Gas, welches über eine weitere Gasleitung dort eingespült wird, gekühlt wird.The arrangement of the individual rinsing zones is basically not critical. However, a compact embodiment results when the second rinse zone concentrically surrounds the first rinse zone. In this case, for example, the central, axially extending first rinsing zone can be formed with directed porosity and surrounded by a more or less cylindrical second rinsing zone with undirected porosity. Both rinsing zones can be supplied with gas at the gas inlet end via a respectively assigned gas distribution chamber, wherein according to the invention a gas line runs through a gas distribution chamber and is cooled by the gas, which is flushed in via a further gas line there.

In die zweite Gasverteilkammer 24 mündet eine zweite Gasleitung 26, die entsprechend (gasdicht) durch den Boden 32 verläuft und mit Abstand zum unteren Ende 20u der zweiten Spülzone 20 endet, so dass das Gas in der zweiten Gasverteilkammer 24 verteilt und von dort in die offene Porosität der zweiten Spülzone 20 eingeführt werden kann. Das Gas durchströmt dann die zweite Spülzone 20 (in der Figur: von unten nach oben, also in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung), bis es die Gasspüleinrichtung bei 20o verlässt.In the second
Eine erste Gasleitung 16 mündet ebenfalls in die zweite Gasverteilkammer 24, wobei auch sie (gasdicht) den Boden 32 durchgreift, verläuft dann aber kontinuierlich weiter und zwar halbkreisförmig in der zweiten Gasverteilkammer 24, wobei dieser Teilabschnitt das Bezugszeichen 16t trägt, und anschließend mit einem weiteren Abschnitt 16z in Richtung auf die Trennwand 34, durchgreift diese (gasdicht) und mündet dann in der ersten Gasverteilkammer 14 ein.A
Das über die Leitung 16 zugeführte Gas strömt demnach zunächst in Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung, wird dann, bei 16u umgelenkt, strömt im Weiteren im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur bisherigen Strömungsrichtung durch die zweite Gasverteilkammer 24 bevor das Gas in der ersten Gasverteilkammer 14 austritt, sich dort verteilt und durch die Kanäle 12 der ersten Spülzone 10 vom gaseinlassseitigen Ende 10u zum gasauslassseitigen Ende 10o diese Spülzone 10 durchströmt und anschließend verlässt.The gas supplied via the
Aus der beschriebenen Anordnung ergibt sich, dass das über die zweite Gasleitung 26 zugeführte Gas die erste Gasleitung 16, speziell den Teilabschnitt 16t in der zweiten Gasverteilkammer 24 umströmt und damit kühlt.It results from the described arrangement that the gas supplied via the
Dies schafft die Möglichkeit Metallschmelze, die über die Gaskanäle 12 eindringt, im Bereich 16t, 16z mit Hilfe des über die Gasleitung 26 zugeführten Gases zu kühlen und einzufrieren und damit die Metallschmelze-Infiltration zu stoppen. Die Abschnitte 16t, 16z haben die Funktion einer integrierten Durchbruchsicherung.This makes it possible to cool and freeze molten metal entering via the
Das gleiche Prinzip wird bei der in
Wesentlich bei beiden Ausführungsformen ist, dass der zu kühlende Teilabschnitt 16t unter einem Winkel von 90° ± 45° zur Axialrichtung der Gasspüleinrichtung verläuft, wobei die Axialrichtung als die Richtung definiert ist, die der Hauptströmungsrichtung des Gases entspricht, also im Wesentlichen parallel zur Mittenlängsachse M-M der Gasspüleinrichtung, oder anders ausgedrückt: Der Richtung zwischen gaseinlassseitigen Abschnitten 10u, 20u und gasauslassseitigen Abschnitten 10o, 20o der Spülzonen 10, 20.It is essential in both embodiments that the
