Flat panel coolers in smelter furnace roofs are simpler to hang than traditional roofs as only one suspension system is required. Vertical and horizontal installation and operability issues associated with brick-cooler systems and brick supported by coolers are eliminated. Flat panel coolers offer a cost-effective alternative to alternating brick and cooler designs. Minor gas leaks between panels are relatively easy to re-seal using castable applied to the cold face.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
