When a water-cooled pipe or the like is installed in a steel shell to perform water cooling, when the refractory wears out and disappears, there is a risk that the molten metal rapidly melts the steel shell and comes into contact with water. Or, by monitoring the temperature of the refractory material or the temperature of the steel shell, it is conventional to detect the sign. However, even if the signs can be detected and the cooling water can be stopped, the water still remains in the water cooling pipe and the like, and the danger that the molten metal rapidly melts the iron shell and comes into contact with the water cannot be avoided. On the other hand, there is a method of urgently replacing the inside of the water-cooled panel with an inert gas by detecting breakage water leakage from the water-cooled panel or the like. However, detection after water leakage is less urgent. It is considered that the time required for the molten metal to melt the iron shell and come into contact with water after the refractory has been worn out is relatively short, and it is necessary to remove water from the cooling system within a short time even during operation. There is.

The temperature sensor and the temperature measuring system used in the present invention are capable of detecting a temperature change of a steel bar which is a precursor of the steel bar damage within a range where the steel bar may be damaged, without any omission.
There is no particular limitation. For example, thermocouples may be installed all over a steel shell to monitor temperature changes. However, in order to more easily monitor the temperature at an arbitrary position, it is preferable to use an optical fiber in the present invention. Specifically, by arranging the optical fiber wire around the steel shell along the water cooling pipe or gas cooling pipe, or the steel shell where these parts are not installed, the temperature of the optical fiber line at any position can be monitored. Becomes possible. For example, if the signal line 11 for the temperature sensor 10 as shown in FIG. 3 is replaced with an optical fiber, there is an effect that an infinite number of the temperature sensors 10 are installed at arbitrary positions on the optical fiber.

In the present invention, it is also possible to use a valve having a temperature detecting means in the on-off valve 1 itself and having a mechanism for automatically opening when the temperature reaches a predetermined temperature or higher. By controlling the on-off valve by the temperature monitoring, when the temperature monitoring system is inoperative, for example, when a thermocouple or an optical fiber is broken, safe cooling can be performed even in a short time until recovery. There is a risk of disappearing. Therefore, safer cooling can be achieved by using, for example, a shape memory material or a bimetal for the on-off valve itself in response to a temperature rise. By using a shape memory material or the like, a mechanism for automatically opening the on-off valve at the same time can be realized.

On the other hand, a gap is often formed between the steel shell 8 and the refractory 7, and the above structure is sufficient in extending the service life of the steel shell. It is more effective to directly cool the refractory 7.

The cooling water supply / drainage device 6 supplies water from one side of the water cooling pipe 3 and drains from the other, and the cooling water flow direction control valve 9 is open toward the cooling water supply / drainage device 6. These are all turned off, and the emergency drainage system is turned on when the temperature sensor 10 detects a predetermined temperature rise. In conjunction with the detection of the temperature sensor, first, the cooling water supply / drainage device 6 stops the operation of supplying / draining water to / from the water cooling pipe 3 and subsequently opens the cooling water flow direction control valve 9 to the emergency drainage tank 4 side. Next, the cooling gas supply / exhaust device 5 operates all the supply ports and exhaust ports of the cooling gas pipe 2 as supply ports, and finally opens the on-off valve 1 closest to the temperature sensor 10 that has detected a temperature rise, Emergency drainage of cooling water with cooling gas.

[Example 1] In a laboratory, water-cooled pipes and gas-cooled pipes were welded and installed in parallel at intervals of 30 cm outside of a 3 m x 3 m virtual steel shell, and each pipe was connected at a ratio of 1 m per pipe. A virtual molten metal container equipped with an electromagnetic on-off valve was prepared. In addition, a metal conduit through an optical fiber was installed adjacent to the water cooling pipe. The water cooling pipe and the gas cooling pipe each have a cooling water supply / drainage device,
A cooling gas supply / exhaust device was connected, and a water cooling pipe and a cooling water supply / drainage device were connected via an electromagnetic cooling water flow direction control valve so that the water could be drained to an emergency drainage tank. A sequence control system was assembled by using an optical fiber type temperature distribution measuring device, an electromagnetic on-off valve, a cooling water supply / drainage device, a cooling gas supply / exhaust device, and an electromagnetic cooling water flow direction control valve to obtain a cooling device of the present invention. Next, water was passed through the water cooling pipe and air was passed through the gas cooling pipe, and the cooling device was operated. Emergency drainage temperature is 90 ° C.
Set to. In this state, the temperature detected by the optical fiber showed almost the water temperature at every position. Therefore, when heating was performed locally using a gas burner from the inside of any steel shell, the emergency drainage system was activated when the temperature of the steel shell detected by the optical fiber near the heated part exceeded 90 ° C,
The cooling water was completely discharged from the water cooling pipe. At this time, the air is flowing through both the water cooling pipe and the gas cooling pipe, and the steel shell is in the air cooling state, but the cooling capacity is reduced,
If the heating was continued, the steel skin glowed red and showed signs of breakage, so the test was terminated.

From the time when the temperature became 0 mm or less, the cooling device was operated while measuring the steel shell temperature with an optical fiber. The emergency drainage temperature was set at 90 ° C. In the actual furnace test, the repair was performed by the refractory residue thickness management, and thus the cooling device of the present invention did not reach the state of emergency drainage at least once during use.
