Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for a split spray-cooled roof for a tilting metallurgical furnace. The split spray-cooled roof has a center, a first hollow metal roof section and a second hollow metal roof section. The first and second hollow roof sections are attached together along a prescription split line. The prescription split line having a first split line and a second split line, wherein the first split line is not aligned with the second split line and wherein the first and second split line are not aligned with the center.
Claims19
A split spray-cooled roof for a metallurgical furnace, the split spray-cooled roof comprising:
- a first hollow metal roof section;
- a second hollow metal roof section mating with the first hollow metal roof section to bound at least a portion of a central opening of the roof;
- and
- wherein the first and second hollow roof sections are attached together along a prescription split line passing through the central opening, the prescription split line comprising:
- a first split line;
- and
- a second split line, wherein the first split line is not aligned with the second split line, and wherein the first and second split line are not radially aligned with a center.
A split spray-cooled roof for a metallurgical furnace, the split spray-cooled roof comprising:
- a first hollow metal roof section;
- a second hollow metal roof section attached to the first hollow roof section along a prescription split line, wherein the prescription split line comprises:
- a first split line;
- and a second split line, wherein the first split line is not aligned with the second split line, and wherein the first and second split line are not radially aligned with a center of the central opening;
- and
- a first interconnecting cross-over drain coupling to an enclosed space of the first hollow metal roof section to an enclosed space of the second hollow metal roof section in an orientation that allows gravitational fluid passage between the enclosed spaces in response to the roof being in a tilted orientation.
