Charging installation of a metallurgical reactor

A cooling assembly for a charging installation of a metallurgical reactor, said cooling assembly disposable for cooling a reactor side of the charging installation and comprising:

• a plurality of cooling panels, each cooling panel comprising a base plate in which at least one coolant channel is formed,
• wherein the coolant channel is formed as a groove in the base plate, said groove being covered by a cover plate mounted on and elevated on top of the base plate, and
• wherein the coolant channel has a meandering structure and the cover plate has a meandering structure following the meandering structure of the coolant channel, the meandering structure being configured to reduce the risk of a weld disposed between the cover plate and the base plate from breaking whereby the cover plate follows the movement of the coolant channel, and
• wherein a plurality of eyelets are disposed on an upper side of the base plate, such that the cooling panel is configured to be removable.
