Abstract

A sidewall for a metallurgical smelting furnace is disclosed. The sidewall is made from a refractory material; an evaporation cooling panel; and a convection cooling panel. The refractory material faces the interior of the furnace. A slot is formed between the evaporation cooling panel and the refractory material such that the convection cooling panel is positioned therebetween. The evaporation cooling panel and the convection cooling panel work together to cool the sidewall of the metallurgical smelting furnace.
