Abstract
A device achieves thermal protection and cooling of the poles of an electromagnetic inductor, in particular for an induction furnace. The furnace comprises a plurality of tubes, arranged side by side and substantially coplanar, through which a coolant fluid flows. The connection of the tubes to the inlet and outlet pipes for the coolant fluid is made by a combination of socket and O-rings designed to ensure both electrical discontinuity and leaktightness between each tube and the pipes.
Claims10
A device for thermally protecting and cooling the poles of an electromagnetic inductor for an induction furnace comprising:
- a plurality of tubes positioned in parallel spaced coplanar relation through which cooling fluid flows;
- an inlet pipe connected to first ends of the tubes;
- an outlet pipe connected to the second ends of the tubes;
- and
- means connecting each of said first and second ends of the tubes to the pipes to allow free expansion-contraction of the tubes relative to the pipes, for ensuring electrical isolation and fluid leaktightness therebetween.
