Abstract:
A method of measuring and regulating temperature and quantity of cooling water of a continuous casting mold flowing per unit of time through water-coolable mold walls composed of copper plates wherein cooling water inlet bores together form a water inlet in cooling ducts of the mold wall, while a sum of discharge bores of the cooling ducts together form a water discharge, the method comprising measuring a cooling water temperature of a mold wall at at least two locations in an area of outlet openings of the mold wall and a corresponding water box, measuring an inlet temperature of the cooling water, determining a difference between inlet and outlet temperature, determining from the cooling water quantity per unit of time a partial and integral heat discharge from at least a mold wall portion, preparing a temperature profile over the width of the mold wall, comparing temperature profiles obtained in time intervals with each other and compensating partial deviations by partial quantity corrections of the cooling water.
