Abstract
Abstract A flame guniting lance comprises a water-cooled casing made up of pipes (1 and 2). Arranged concentrically inside the casing are pipes (4) for supplying a mixture of powdered refractory material and fuel, and pipes (3) for supplying oxygen. Each pipe (3 and 4) is respectively fitted with a nozzle (5) for supplying the mixture of refractory material and fuel, and a nozzle (6) for supplying oxygen, the nozzles being arranged in pairs and coaxially in each pair. The outlet cross-section of each nozzle (5) is positioned below the outlet cross-section of each nozzle (6) within a distance of 1 to 5 times the inside diameter of the nozzle (5). The walls of at least one of each pair of the nozzles (5 or 6) are partly or completely other than cylindrical in shape.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A flame guniting lance comprising inner and outer tubes forming a water-cooled casing inside which are concentrically arranged spaced pipes for supplying a powdered mixture of refractory material fuel and for supply oxygen; said pipes having nozzles for delivering said powdered mixture, fuel and said oxygen; said nozzles being arranged in pairs longitudinally and concentrically; said nozzles for delivering said mixture having outlet cross-sections located underneath the outlet cross-sections of the corresponding nozzles for delivering oxygen at a distance equal to 1 to 5 times the inside diameter of said nozzle for delivering said mixture; at least one of said nozzles of each of said pairs being partly or completely other than cylindrical in cross section; said nozzles for supplying oxygen having openings in the bottom part thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A flame guniting lance comprising inner and outer tubes forming a water-cooled casing inside which are concentrically arranged spaced pipes for supplying a powdered mixture of refractory material fuel and for supply oxygen; said pipes having nozzles for delivering said powdered mixture, fuel and said oxygen; said nozzles being arranged in pairs longitudinally and concentrically; said nozzles for delivering said mixture having outlet cross-sections located underneath the outlet cross-sections of the corresponding nozzles for delivering oxygen at a distance equal to 1 to 5 times the inside diameter of said nozzle for delivering said mixture; at least one of said nozzles of each of said pairs being partly or completely other than cylindrical in cross section; said nozzles for supplying oxygen having openings in the bottom part thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A flame guniting lance is claimed in claim 1, wherein each said nozzle for delivering oxygen is elliptical in form.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 2, wherein, the outside surface of each nozzle for delivering said mixture is provided with grooves for a depth equal to between 0.8 and 1.2 times the minimum width of the space between the nozzle for delivering said mixture and said nozzle for delivering oxygen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 1, wherein each nozzle for delivering said mixture is provided with alternatively arranged wedge-shaped, internal grooves and external grooves, flaring longitudinally toward the end of the said nozzle and make an angle of 5° to 25° relative to the central axis of the said nozzle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 1, wherein each nozzle for delivering said mixture is provided with longitudinal slits having a width ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 times the inside diameter of the said nozzle and a height of not less than one inside diameter of the said nozzle, said slits being oriented tangentially to the internal surface of the said nozzle for delivering the powdered mixture of the refractory material and fuel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 1, wherein each nozzle for delivering oxygen is divided in two parts, a bottom part of which is elliptical in cross section; the walls thereof being provided with two openings situated in diametrically opposed quadrants and directed tangentially relative to said nozzle for delivering said mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 6, wherein a conical shell is mounted inside each oxygen-supplying nozzle remotely from the end thereof; said shell having a small base facing inwards of said nozzle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
58 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 7, wherein close to one of said nozzles for delivering said mixture and near each said opening in the bottom part of said nozzle for supplying oxygen there is mounted a wedge-shaped insert arranged in a manner that one of the surfaces thereof continues the surface of a respective opening.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outlet cross-section of said nozzles for delivering said oxygen is star-shaped.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
A flame guniting lance as claimed in claim 1, wherein one of said nozzles for delivering said mixture has longitudinal slits and another of said nozzles for delivering oxygen is cylindrical in cross-section.
