Cooling Technology

METTOP FIS provides comprehensive solutions, enabling the maximum benefits from cooling to be attained, through the correct integration into the refractory lining. When installing cooling elements, the surrounding brickwork and the general furnace situation always have to be considered.

 

Modern lining designs require new technologies to reduce operational costs and increase the furnace availability. Cooling element technology, which has been gradually introduced over the years, provides considerable benefits in different furnace lining areas.

Furthermore, METTOP FIS focuses on optimum solutions for cooling element implementation in the brickwork.

To improve cooling performance and overcome the disadvantages that are inherently associated with the use of water as a cooling medium, METTOP FIS offers a patented, new cooling solution using ionic liquids as the cooling media.

Ionic liquids provide significant advantages compared to water: Higher cooling medium temperatures are possible, which minimizes the risk of hydration during heat-up and avoids corrosion during operations. Additionally, there is no danger of explosions. This increase in furnace availability and safety makes cooling with ionic liquids a revolutionary development in cooling technology. more
