摘要 A new type of cooling stave with internal ribbed tube was proposed, and the heat transfer performance of the stave was studied by means of thermal test and numerical simulation. The temperature of cooling stave was monitored in the conditions of furnace gas temperature of 200–700 C and cooling water velocity of 0.2–1.0 m/s. The thermal test results show that the internal rib structure can form swirl in the water pipe and improve the cooling capacity of the cooling stave. The higher the furnace temperature or the lower the cooling water flow rate, the more obvious the advantage of the cooling stave with internal ribbed tube. The mathematical model of the cooling stave with internal ribbed tube was established by FLUENT software, and the influence of the internal rib structure parameters on the heat transfer performance of the cooling stave was discussed. It is suggested that the parameters of the internal ribbed tube should be 4 ribs, 1 mm in height, 5–7 mm in width, and 20–30 mm in lead. In the same common working conditions of the cooling stave, the maximum temperature of the newly designed cooling stave with internal ribbed tube is reduced by 5.6% compared with that of common cooling stave with round tube. The water flow rate in the internal ribbed tube only needs 0.9 m/s to reach the cooling effect of 2 m/s in the common tube cooling stave, which can save 55% of water. In case of water shortage accident of cooling stave, the maximum temperature of the cooling stave with internal ribbed tube is decreased by 22.4% compared with that of common round tube, which can effectively reduce the harm of water shortage and protect the cooling stave.
