Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum smelting, and in particular to a cooling water circulation system and a cooling method for a vacuum suspension smelting furnace. Background Art

[0002] The vacuum suspension melting furnace is an important equipment in modern metallurgical technology. It is mainly used for melting high-purity metal materials. Its working principle is to heat the metal to a molten state in a vacuum environment and achieve efficient melting through suspension technology. In this process, temperature control and cooling systems are crucial because high temperatures are generated during the melting process, and different components have different requirements for cooling water.

[0003] The suspension crucible is the main source of heat. Its operating temperature is extremely high, its structure is complex, and its cooling pipeline is narrow. Therefore, low-temperature pure water is required, which helps to effectively reduce the temperature of the crucible surface and prevent the material from overheating and affecting the smelting effect. The distance between the two electrodes of the coaxial electrode is relatively close. Using pure water for cooling helps to avoid accidental discharge between the electrodes, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the smelting process. The electronic components in the suspension power supply and load cabinet are relatively complex. Excessive humidity or moisture will cause condensation and affect the normal operation of the components. Therefore, room temperature pure water is required for cooling. Since the vacuum tube pump group and the furnace body contain carbon steel components in their structure, there will be rust in the circulation pipeline. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use room temperature muddy water to reduce corrosion to the equipment.

[0004] Traditional cooling systems are mostly independent cooling water cycles, which leads to complex overall equipment design, water resource waste and difficult management. In addition, the mutual influence and mixing of cooling water between components will lead to unstable equipment operation, increase maintenance costs and reduce equipment efficiency.

The cooling method of the vacuum suspension melting furnace according to claim 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1, adding purified water into the normal temperature purified water tank (2), the water filling height being 200 mm from the top of the normal temperature purified water tank (2); S2, opening the solenoid valve of the first refrigeration pipeline (5), and starting the water pumps of the first refrigeration pipeline (5) and the second refrigeration pipeline (6); S3, starting the water chiller (1) to cool the water in the low-temperature pure water tank (3) to 15° C., the top branch circulation of the second refrigeration pipeline (6) connected to the low-temperature pure water tank (3) is opened, the branch circulation connected to the tubular heat exchanger is closed, and the first refrigeration pipeline (5) is closed; S4, start the circulating water pumps of the normal temperature pure water circulation pipeline (7), the low temperature pure water circulation pipeline (8) and the normal temperature muddy water circulation pipeline (9), and check whether each circulation pipeline is normal, including water temperature, water pressure, flow rate and whether there is any blockage; S5, start the smelting procedure, the first step is to open the valve of the room temperature pure water circulation pipeline (7) and start the water pump, the second step is to open the valve of the room temperature muddy water circulation pipeline (9) and start the water pump, the third step is to open the valve of the low temperature pure water circulation pipeline (8) and start the water pump to supply water to the coaxial electrode (14) and the suspension crucible (15), after the water circulation is normal, start the suspension power supply cabinet (17) and start smelting; S6. During the smelting process, the control system of the chiller (1) monitors the temperature of the three water tanks in real time, and promptly adjusts the opening of the electronically controlled flow valves of each refrigeration pipeline, and automatically balances the flow in the refrigeration pipeline according to the design requirements; S6. After the smelting is completed, the normal temperature pure water circulation pipeline (7) and the normal temperature muddy water circulation pipeline (9) stop working, and the low temperature pure water circulation pipeline (8) continues to cool the suspension crucible (15) until the crucible drops to a safe temperature.
