    Conduction heat sensing device and cooling chamber comprising such a device
    The present invention relates to the field of cooling of solid products and their cooling kinetics.
    STATE OF THE ART
    Many industrial processes involve steps of cooling solid products, for example in the field of steel making hot rolling output. The most common method of cooling involves the natural convection heat dissipation between the product to be cooled and the ambient air. This method is relatively long and does not control the cooling rate, particularly because of the variability of the parameters related to the ambient air (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind). However, uncontrolled cooling can harm the product, for example by a non-uniform cooling between the surface and the core of the product which creates a temperature gradient may cause internal tensions in the product. Such tensions can lead to greater fragility of iron and steel products. Cooling speed control and off-heat removal devices have been developed to address this problem. In such devices, the solid products to be cooled pass through a cooling chamber in whose walls a coolant liquid circulates. The heat generated by the products is transmitted by radiation. to the walls of the enclosure and then captured and evacuated by the coolant circulating in the walls. The thermodynamic components of the heat transfer liquid (pressure, flow, temperature) make it possible to influence the rate of cooling of the products. It is also known to reduce the cooling rate by injecting steam into the cooling chamber, which has the effect of reducing the amount of heat - emitted by radiation. Effective for high temperatures, the radiation heat exchange efficiency is rapidly degraded for low and medium temperatures (below 600 ° C) and makes it necessary to extend the residence time of the products in the cooling chamber. bring them to temperatures from which the cooling rate has no impact on the product.
    In the interest of energy efficiency, this heat can usefully be recovered and upgraded to be reinjected into other heat-consuming operations or transformed into electricity. As such, there are known systems using a gas blown on solid products circulating in a cooling chamber. The gas circulates in the cooling chamber, usually by means of a fan, and captures the heat of the solid products by convection. The thus heated gas is directed to a series of heat exchangers for heating water to generate steam which is then directed to an expansion turbine. Convective exchanges require a gas circulation device that consumes a lot of energy and reduces the efficiency of the process. These exchanges also require an extended residence time of the rooms in the enclosure because of a low heat exchange coefficient between the circulating gas and the solid product.
    Thus, the existing devices for capturing the heat emitted by solid products until they reach a temperature close to ambient temperature result in prolonged residence times of the products in the cooling chamber which are often higher than the rates manufacturing of products. The cooling of the products therefore represents a critical point in the manufacturing process. These constraints make it necessary to have several cooling chambers and prevent the entire cooling of the products manufactured from being controlled.
    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    An object of the invention is to improve the control of the cooling conditions of the solid products and their kinetics.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION For this purpose, according to the invention, provision is made for a device for collecting the heat emitted by a solid product in a cooling chamber, the device comprising means for heat recovery by conduction, these means comprising at least one thermally conductive drainage element arranged to be brought into contact with at least one surface of the solid product, the drainage element comprising a hearth on which the solid product rests and the drainage element having a contact surface divided with the solid product.
    Conduction makes it possible to obtain higher heat exchange coefficients than those of the prior art, especially for average temperatures of the order of 600 ° C. The residence times of the products to be cooled, until they reach a temperature close to ambient temperature, are therefore reduced. The drainage element may be a solid element, for example unitary or in the form of a set of solids divided as a powder or grains, an elastically deformable product, or a viscous liquid product. It should be noted that the greater the area of the drainage element in contact with the product, the faster the cooling. The invention also relates to such a device wherein the conductive heat recovery means comprise a coolant circulating in a thermally conductive conduit in contact with the drainage element. This fluid comprises a gas or a liquid and can supply an expansion turbine. This system then makes it possible to transform the heat of the solid product to be cooled into electrical energy. The invention also relates to such a device wherein the coolant feeds a heating circuit. The heat of the solid product to be cooled can then be used for heat-consuming operations. The invention also relates to a device in which the drainage element comprises a sole on which the solid product rests. The hearth may also be provided with at least one thermally conductive conduit for circulating a heat transfer fluid. The invention also relates to a similar device in which the heat recovery means also comprises a thermally conductive structure in contact with an upper surface of the solid product and a device comprising at least one thermal drainage element having a divided surface of contact with the solid product. The invention also relates to such a device, also comprising radiative heat recovery means and a similar device wherein the radiative heat recovery means are associated, by a heat transfer link, to a circulation duct for a coolant. The invention also relates to such a device, wherein the solid product is running in the cooling chamber. The solid product may be a metal product. The invention also comprises a cooling chamber for a solid product in scrolling successively comprising, in the direction of travel of the solid product in the cooling chamber: radiative heat recovery means; a first device for heat recovery by conduction and means for heat recovery by radiation; a second device for heat recovery by conduction.
    A device for collecting heat emitted by solid products is thus obtained which makes it possible to adjust the cooling parameters of the solid products and which makes it possible to recover the heat emitted by these, for example in the form of a hot source. for other operations or in the form of electricity. Conduction makes it possible to recover the heat more quickly at medium and low temperatures and thus to accelerate the cooling of the parts. Other features and advantages will become apparent on reading the following description of particular non-limiting embodiments of the invention.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AT LEAST ONE EMBODIMENT
    THE INVENTION
    Referring to Figures 1 to 6, the device according to the invention comprises a cooling chamber, generally designated 1, defining an interior volume 2. The chamber 1 is optionally arranged to thermally isolate the interior volume 2 of the ambient air . This enclosure 1 is substantially parallelepipedal and comprises, on two opposite faces, a loading inlet 3 and an outlet 4 between which metal slabs 5 are moving in a longitudinal direction of scrolling oriented from the loading inlet 3 to the outlet 4 and shown by an arrow in Figure 1. The inlet 3 - and the outlet 4 * are optionally provided with thermally insulating doors. The slabs 5 enter the cooling chamber 1 at a temperature generally between 900 ° C. and 1400 ° C. and rest here on two supports, shown schematically in 6.1 and 6.2, belonging to a conveyor, schematized at 6, which extends from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4 of the cooling chamber 1. The supports of the conveyor are for example spars- extending parallel to the slabs and at least some of which are movable in a vertical plane in a step of pilgrim to move the slabs. The conveyor may be of another type and, for example, the supports, of known type, are rollers spaced in such a way that each slab rests on at least two rollers. These rollers can be motorized or not, the slabs being pushed by each other in the latter case. In another variant, the supports, of known type, are slides on which the slabs are resting which are pushed by each other.
    The internal volume 2 of the cooling chamber 1 comprises heat recovery means implanted above and below the supports 6.1, 6.2 and thus slabs 5 scrolling. These heat recovery means are of two types: radiative heat recovery means 20 and conductive heat recovery means 30. The cooling chamber 1 comprises three successive cooling zones A, B and C according to FIG. 5, the first zone A comprises radiative heat recovery means 20 implanted above and below the supports 6.1, 6.2 slabs 5 scrolling. With reference to FIG. 4, the second zone B comprises radiative heat recovery means 20 implanted above the supports 6.1, 6.2 and therefore slabs 5 running and implanted heat recovery means 30. below the supports 6.1, 6.2 and thus slabs 5 scrolling. Finally, with reference to FIG. 5, the last zone C comprises conductive heat recovery means 30 implanted above and below the supports 6.1, 6.2 and thus slabs 5 running.
    The radiation and conduction heat recovery means 30 are now detailed with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
    The radiation heat recovery means 20 comprise ducts 21 made of thermally conductive material. Thermally conductive means a material whose thermal conductivity is here between 5 and 500 W / mK. These thermally conductive ducts 21 are arranged in the internal volume 2 of the enclosure 1 and extend between the two longitudinal walls of the cooling chamber 1. The ends of each of these thermally conductive ducts 21 are connected to a control circuit. radiant heat capture 50 in which circulates a heat transfer fluid 22 through inlet 23 and outlet 24 taps which pass through the longitudinal walls of the cooling chamber 1. The thermally conductive conduits 21 implanted above the supports 6.1 , 6.2 and thus slabs 5 are suspended from the ceiling of the cooling chamber 1 by supports 25 and the thermally conductive conduits 21 implanted under the supports 6.1, 6.2 rest on the floor of the cooling chamber 1 via supports 26.
    The conduction heat recovery means 30 comprise a solid drainage element, made of a thermally conductive material, here a conductive sole 31 made of steel, placed on the floor of the cooling chamber 1 and in which extend in a direction transverse to the direction of travel of the slabs 5, thermally conductive conduits 32 in contact with the conductive sole 31 and in which circulates a coolant 33. The ends of each of these conduits 32 are connected to a conduction heat capture circuit 100 through inlet connections 34 and exit 35 which pass through the longitudinal walls of the cooling chamber 1. The two supports 6.1 and 6.2 of the conveyor 6 extend into grooves 36.1 and 36.2 formed in the hearth, The sole thus arranged is brought into contact with the lower surface of the slabs 5 during the passage thereof in the cooling chamber 1. The supports are here mobile, by their movement in pilgrim steps, between a slightly projecting position of the sole in which the slabs are slightly above the sole and a retracted position in the sole, the slabs then resting on the sole . The cooling chamber 1 also comprises heat recovery means by conduction in the form of a second thermally conductive drainage element 37 implanted above the slabs 5, in the upper part of the cooling chamber 1. This element drainage device 37 has a structure identical to that of the conductive sole 31, and also comprises thermally conductive conduits 32 for circulating the coolant 33, but is in contact with an upper face of the slab 5.
    With reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the radiation heat capture circuit 50 and the conduction heat capture circuit 100 are now detailed. Although, in the figures, only the heat capture circuits located below the moving slabs 5 are shown, the inlet 23 and outlet 24 connections of the radiative heat capture means located above the slabs 5 in scrolling are also connected to the radiation heat capture circuit 50 and the inlet and outlet taps 34 and 35 of the conduction heat sensing means located above the moving slats 5 are also connected to the capture circuit radiation heat 100
    The radiation heat capture circuit 50 is a closed circuit which comprises a duct 51 to which are fluidly connected, in the flow direction of the fluid represented in the duct 51 by arrows, a pump 52 for circulating the coolant 22, a supply feeder 53 of the inlet taps 23, a manifold 54, outlet taps 24 and a heat exchanger 55. The pump 52 thus feeds heat transfer fluid 22, the thermally conductive conduits 21 located in the cooling chamber 1. During its passage in the thermally conductive ducts 21, the coolant 22 stores radiation heat emitted by the slabs 5 running and exits through the outlet taps 24 in the manifold 54. The heat transfer fluid Here pure water can undergo total or partial phase changes during its warming and then include a gas (water vapor) and a fluid (water) or not understand only one of these two phases. The coolant 22 is then directed to the heat exchanger 55 in which it transfers the stored radiation heat to a heating circuit 60. At the outlet of the heat exchanger 55, the coolant 22 returns to the inlet of the heat exchanger 55. the pump 52.
    The conductive heat capture circuit 100 is a closed circuit which comprises a duct 101 to which are connected fluidically, in the direction of flow of the fluid represented by arrows in the duct 101, a pump 102 for circulating the coolant 33, a supply feeder 103 of the inlet taps 34, a manifold 104 of the outlet taps 35, an expansion turbine 105 as well as a condenser 106. The pump 102 thus supplies heat transfer fluid 33, the thermally conductive ducts 32 extending in the conductive sole 31 and the drainage means 37. During its passage in these conduits 32, the heat transfer fluid 33 stores heat conduction and spring heated by the outlet tappings 35 in the manifold 104. The heat transfer fluid In this case pure water may undergo total or partial phase changes during its warming, and then include or not include gas (water vapor) and fluid (water). only one of these two phases. The coolant 33 is then directed to the expansion turbine 105 which converts the vaporized portion of the heat transfer fluid 33 mechanical work and electricity when said turbine drives an electric machine such as an alternator. At the outlet of the expansion turbine 105, the heat transfer fluid 33 is directed towards the condenser 10 6 before passing through the pump 102.
    In operation, the device drives the slabs 5 through the cooling chamber 1 by means of the supports 6.1 and 6.2 of the conveyor 6. By passing through the cooling zones A and B of the enclosure 1, the slabs 5 yield a portion from their radiant heat to the thermally conductive conduits 21 implanted above and below the slabs 5 running for the zone A and above the slabs 5 running for the zone B. The thermally conductive conduits 21 transfer this heat to the coolant 22 which passes therethrough and then transfers it to the heating circuit 60 in the heat exchanger 55. At the outlet of the zone A, the slabs 5 - whose temperature is substantially reduced by a temperature generally between 900 ° C. and 1400 ° C. up to a temperature generally between 400 and 800 ° C - pass in cooling zone B in which they rest on a conductive sole 31 which captures their heat by conduction and transfer to the heat transfer fluid 33 circulating in the conduits 32 passing through the conductive sole 31. In the cooling zone C, the upper face of the slabs 5 - which j always rest on the conductive sole 31 - comes into contact with the drainage element 37 which also captures their heat by conduction and transmits it to the coolant 33 via the ducts 32 therethrough. When they reach the outlet 4 of the cooling chamber 1, the slabs 5 have transferred most of their heat to the heat recovery means 20 and 30. . .
    During their travel in the cooling chamber 1, the slabs 5 have heated the heat transfer fluids 22 and 33 of the radiation heat capture circuit 50 and the conduction heat capture circuit 100. The fluid 22 then gives way heat in the exchanger 55 to a heating circuit 60 before returning to the pump 52 when the fluid 33 sees its gaseous phase relaxed in the turbine 105 generating electricity. The fluid 33 then passes into a condenser 106 before returning to the circulation pump 102.
    The conditions in which the cooling of the slabs 5 running in the cooling chamber 1 is carried out (such as, for example, the cooling rate) are in particular controlled by the adjustment of the following parameters: respective lengths of the cooling zones A, B and C; speed of movement of the slabs 5; -nature and thermodynamic parameters (among which temperature, flow rate and pressure) of heat transfer fluids 22 and 33.
    This provides a device capable of controlling the cooling of solid products to control their cooling rate and / or reduce the residence time of the products in their cooling chamber.
    Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described but encompasses any variant within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
    In particular: although the drainage elements (conductive sole 31 and drainage element 37) have, here, a solid contact surface with the running slabs, these contact surfaces can be advantageously divided to reduce the surface area. in contact and thus the frictional forces between these surfaces' and slabs 5 scrolling. These surfaces may comprise, for example, a plurality of disjoint cylindrical protrusions 38 as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, metal brushes or a corrugated surface; - Although heat transfer fluids 22 and 33 are here pure water, the invention is also applicable to other types of heat transfer fluids such as sodium, oil or water comprising an additive such as propylene glycol; - Although here, the heat transfer link associating the radiative heat recovery means 20 with the thermally conductive conduits 21 for circulating the heat transfer fluid 22 is confused with said conduits, the invention also applies to recovery means radiant heat distinct from the coolant circulation ducts, for example radially collecting fins and transmitting it by conduction to a duct on which the fins are fixed, by welding for example; - Although here, the radiation heat recovery circuit 50 transfers its heat to a heating circuit 60, the invention also applies to a radiation heat recovery circuit supplying other equipment such as for example an expansion turbine, a heat exchanger with the circuit 100; * - although here, the drainage elements are made of steel, the invention also applies to drainage elements made of another material such as, for example, copper or another metal, glass .. Although the solid products here are moving metal slabs, the invention is also applicable to other solid products such as, for example, continuous rolled products, static solid products or non-metallic products such as glass, plastic, slag, biomass, ore or agri-food products. The invention relates to a drainage element in the form of a solid element, a set of solids divided as a powder or grains, a deformable product for example elastically, or a viscous liquid product.
    The sole can be movable between a first support position of the slabs and a second position in which the slabs rest on the conveyor. In the case of a deformable solid or a viscous liquid, the supports can be fixed in height. *
