The described embodiments relate to systems and methods for acoustic monitoring of metallurgical furnace cooling elements. Some metallurgical furnaces have a tapblock that is blocked during operation of the furnace. The tapblock may be opened by lancing, drilling, tapping or by other means to release metal from the furnace. By monitoring acoustic emissions during the opening process, feedback may be provided to improve the opening process and to avoid excessive damage to the tapblock, the cooling elements, a refractory lining of the tapblock or other elements of the metallurgical furnace.

Les modes de réalisation décrits concernent des systèmes et des procédés pour la surveillance acoustique d'éléments de refroidissement de four métallurgique. Certains fours métallurgiques ont un bloc de coulée qui est bloqué pendant le fonctionnement du four. Le bloc de coulée peut être ouvert par perçage, forage, drainage ou par d'autres moyens pour libérer du métal à partir du four. En surveillant les émissions acoustiques pendant le procédé d'ouverture, on peut fournir une rétroaction pour améliorer le procédé d'ouverture et pour éviter un endommagement excessif au bloc de coulée, aux éléments de refroidissement, à une gaine protectrice réfractaire du bloc de coulée ou à d'autres éléments du four métallurgique.
