Component Specifications

Definition
A cooling jacket is an engineered thermal management component designed for molten metal level control systems. It consists of a hollow casing or sleeve that surrounds specific sections of machinery where heat dissipation is critical. Coolant (typically water or specialized fluids) circulates through internal channels, absorbing excess heat from the molten metal interface to maintain optimal operating temperatures, prevent overheating, and ensure precise level control.
Working Principle
The cooling jacket operates on convective heat transfer principles. Coolant flows through internal passages within the jacket, absorbing thermal energy from the adjacent hot surfaces (e.g., sensor housings or valve bodies in contact with molten metal). This heat exchange lowers the temperature of the protected components, preventing thermal degradation and maintaining dimensional stability for accurate level measurement and control.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 316L or 304 for corrosion resistance), copper alloys (for high thermal conductivity), or specialized ceramics (for extreme temperature applications). Internal surfaces may have protective coatings to resist chemical attack from coolants or molten metal splashes.
Technical Parameters
  • Connection Size DN15 to DN50
  • Coolant Flow Rate 5-20 L/min
  • Temperature Range -10°C to 150°C
  • Operating Pressure 2-6 bar
  • Heat Dissipation Capacity 500-5000 W
Standards
ISO 13709, DIN 2448
