Abstract (en)

The object of the invention is a system for controlling the solidification process in large-sized castings, and a method for controlling the solidification process in large-sized castings, characterised in that it consists of any number of active cooling segments made of at least two steel plates with a shape matching the casting and known heat capacity, permanently connected to a tube coil (4), whose inlet (13) and outlet (14) nozzles extend outside the casting mould, the inlet nozzle being connected by a flexible hose (5) with a proper cross-section to a compressed air supply module (6), provided with a supply collector (7) connected to a pneumatic network, a proportional air flow regulator (8), and an injector (9), which is connected to a proportional water flow regulator (10), connected to the water mains, while the outlet nozzle is provided with a cooling medium temperature sensor (11), and the proportional air flow regulator, the proportional water flow regulator, and the cooling medium temperature sensor are connected to an automatic solidification process control console (12).
