Abstract

A converter with a converter hood provided with a plurality of cooling channels, wherein always one single reflux tube is allocated to a plurality of cooling channels and connects them with an upper collector conduit section and the lower distributor conduit section following thereupon; the cooling channels have smaller cross-sections than the reflux tube allocated thereto, and thus the converter hood is provided with an uneven surface.
