CRYSTALLISER MODEL Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B22D11/04 

FIELD: casting.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to continuous casting of metals and can be used in modeling cooling of the crystalliser. The crystalliser model comprises a body with a heat pipe located therein formed by pipes (1, 2), installed coaxially one inside the other forming a closed space between the pipes for the heat-carrying agent with a boiling point of 40 to 60°C, a condenser (4) associated by steam lines and condensate lines with the heat pipe, forming a closed evaporation-condensation circuit, electric heating elements (8) located outside of the body of the heat pipe, and thermocouples (11 to 13) connected to the automatic cooling control system. A copper tube coil (5) for cooling water is located outside of the condenser. The crystalliser model is made on a scale of M=0.2 to 0.28 relative to the size of an industrial crystalliser. The diameter of the copper tube "d_t", the height of the capacitor "h", the internal "d₁" and the outer "d₂" diameters of the body of the heat pipe, the height of the body "H" are connected by the ratio: d_t/h=0.2 to 0.3 mm; d₁/d₂=0.55 to 0.65; d₁/H=0.3 to 0.4.

EFFECT: reduction in the labour intensity of manufacture of the crystalliser model, reduction in the time of research for the formation of the preform are provided.
