Abstract
A panel for use in metallurgical type furnaces comprising a pair of outwardly disposed metal plate members spaced apart and joined together at their edges to provide a fluid transmitting passageway with at least one of the plate members including laterally spaced corrugations defining parallel channels in the passageway for directing fluid flow longitudinally of the panel. Manifold members are disposed at the opposed ends of the plate members and communicate therewith with one of the plate members terminating interiorly of at least one of the manifold members and in laterally off-set relation to the other plate member for uniformly controlling fluid flow for heat transfer exteriorly of the panel.

A panel for use in internal cooling comprising,
- a pair of oppositely disposed metal plate members,
- said plate members being spaced apart and joined at their edges to provide a fluid transmitting passageway therebetween,
- at least one of said plate members including integral laterally spaced continuous corrugations defining generally parallel channels in said passageway for directing fluid flow longitudinally in said panel,
- manifold means disposed adjacent each of the opposed ends of said plate members and communicating with said channels,
- said manifold means is of a box-like construction extending transversely across the width of said plate members,
- said box-like construction defined by an end wall, an inner wall and a top wall,
- said inner wall secured in fluid sealed relation to the confronting surface of said one plate member and axially inwardly of the terminal end edge thereof,
- one of said plate members terminating interiorly of one of said manifold means and in laterally off-set relation to said other plate member for controlling fluid flow interiorly of said manifold means,
- said one plate member includes integral upstanding side walls extending longitudinally thereof and secured in fluid sealed relation to the corresponding opposed sides of said other plate member,
- said side walls extending parallel to each other and interiorly of said manifold means,
- said inner wall being secured in fluid sealed relation at its opposed ends to said side walls axially inwardly of the respective ends thereof,
- a series of plug welds securing said one plate member to said other plate member, and
- said plug welds being disposed in the area of said corrugations between said channels.

A panel for use in internal cooling comprising,
- a pair of outwardly disposed metal plate members spaced laterally apart and joined at their edges to provide a fluid transmitting passageway therebetween,
- at least one of said plate members including integral laterally spaced on interrupted corrugations defining generally parallel channels in said passageway for directing fluid flow longitudinally through said panel,
- manifold means disposed adjacent each of the opposed ends of said plate members and communicating in fluid flow with said channels,
- said manifold means each being of a box-like construction extending transversely across the width of said plate members,
- said box-like construction defined by an end wall, and inner wall and a top wall,
- said inner wall secured in fluid sealed relation to the confronting surface of said one plate member and axially inwardly of the terminal end edge thereof,
- one of said manifold means including an inlet member and the other of said manifold means including an outlet member for directing cooling fluid into said one manifold means, through said passageway and out through said outlet member of said other manifold means,
- said one plate member including integral upstanding side walls extending longitudinally thereof and secured in fluid sealed relation to the corresponding opposed sides of said other plate member,
- said side walls extending parallel to each other and interiorly of said manifold means,
- said inner wall being secured in fluid sealed relation at its opposed end to said side walls axially inwardly of the respective ends thereof,
- said one plate member including a terminal end edge which terminates inwardly of the end wall of said manifold means,
- said end edge extending substantially parallel throughout its length in relation to the end wall of said manifold means, and
- the side walls of said plate members together defining hollow rail members extending lengthwise of said panels and communicating at their opposed ends with the associated manifold means.
