Cooling plate comprising a reinforcement element

Abstract

A cooling plate with reinforcing part for furnaces which are provided with a refractory lining. Coolant passages are arranged in the interior of the plate, which is provided with at least one additional cooling segment provided with a cooling passage into which a displacement body is inserted.

1 .- 6 . (Canceled)  
     
     
         7 . A cooling plate with a reinforcing part for a furnace having a refractory lining, wherein the cooling plate comprises 
 a plate having an extent along the lining, the plate having an interior;    first coolant passages defined in the interior of the plate,    at least one additional cooling segment of the plate; a second cooling passage defined in the segment, the second cooling passage running substantially horizontially and parallel to the extent of the cooling plate along the refractory lining;    a displacement body inserted into the second cooling passage, the displacement body including a cavity therethrough for routing coolant along the cavity.    
     
     
         8 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first coolant passages in the cooling plate have first diameters, the second cooling passage in the at least one additional cooling segment has a second diameter which is greater than the respective first diameters of the first coolant passages in the cooling plate.  
     
     
         9 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the at least one additional cooling segment is separate from and is secured releasably to the cooling plate.  
     
     
         10 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the at least one additional cooling segment is formed by a bead which is forged out of the cooling plate.  
     
     
         11 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising bores for supplying and discharging cooling water, and the bores opening out into the second cooling passage.  
     
     
         12 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising pipe sections inserted in the bores for supplying and discharging cooling water, and the pipe sections opening out into the displacement body.  
     
     
         13 . The cooling plate as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising a communication between the cavity in the displacement body and the second cooling passage in the at least one additional cooling segment.  
     
     
         14 . A furnace for metal, comprising 
 an interior furnace wall, a refractory material lining inside the interior wall;    a cooling plate having an extent along the lining having and disposed between the interior furnace wall and the lining; the plate having an interior;    first coolant passages defined in the interior of the plate,    at least one additional cooling segment of the plate; a second cooling passage defined in the segment, the second cooling passage running substantially horizontially and parallel to the extent of the cooling plate along the refractory lining;    a displacement body inserted into the second cooling passage, the displacement body including a cavity therethrough for routing coolant along the cavity.
