GAS POWDER FOR METALLURGICAL PHASES WITH CLOSING POWDER PRESENTED BY SCRAW-USE FEEDS

摘要

This invention relates to a gas bubbler stone for metallurgical vessels having a porous, gas-permeable molded stone (1) made of a refractory material, a partial sheathing enclosing it in a gastight manner, the sheathing being made of a metal casing (2), which extends around the lateral peripheral surface of the molded stone, and a sheet metal cover (3) which covers the outer end face of the molded stone, and a gas delivery pipe (6) which extends from the under side of the sheet metal cover and is joined to the sheet metal cover in the area of a gas inlet opening (7) formed in the sheet metal cover, and which has a narrowed cross section (9) at a distance from the gas inlet opening of the sheet metal cover, and a closing body (10), which is movable at least in the axial direction of the gas delivery pipe, is situated in the pipe section between the sheet metal cover (3) and the narrowed cross section (9), its cross section being smaller than the inside diameter of the gas delivery pipe (6) and greater than the narrowed cross section, and which, like a non-return valve, is loaded in the direction of the narrowed cross section which defines a valve seat (11) by a helical compression spring (12) which is supported on the sheet metal cover. To guarantee a reliable gas supply even at a high gas pressure, the gas inlet opening (7) is situated at least partially outside the partial circle of the helical compression spring (12).
