Abstract:
The cast copper elements for water cooling non-ferrous metallurgical furnaces are presented in this paper. The cooling elements fabricated by SXSG Machinery are installed in many non-ferrous metal smelters for flash smelting and flash converting furnaces, Isa furnaces, Ausmelt furnaces, and electric slag cleaning furnaces. The cooling channels are formed by submerged copper pipes and the dovetail grooves on the surface are formed in casting in one step. The cooling elements are featured by high thermal conductivity for cooling, high working pressure with no leakage risk and low water flow resistance due to seamless contact at the interface between the pipe and cast copper. The liquid copper partially melts submerged copper pipe, forming an integrated block with very high contacting ratio. The shape of the cooling elements is flexible and is easy to fit the furnace configuration, thus used as not only the flat furnace walls but also complicated components in difficult areas. With high quality, SXSG's copper cooling elements guarantee the furnaces safe and reliable performance .
