Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19730250C1] A steelworks converter has a cone cooling system with sinuous ducts for carrying the cooling medium which open into at least one groove-like collector in the top and bottom regions of the converter head, as well as at least one cooling medium supply and discharge. According to the invention, a collecting pipe (24) is arranged in the region of the lower collector (22), the collecting pipe (24) is spaced apart from at least one of the side walls of the lower collector, the collecting pipe (24) has at least one closable discharge (27) and is in communication with the lower collector (22) so that the cooling medium (W) inside the collector (22) can flow into the collecting pipe (24).
