The invention provides a method for cooling an air leaking
flange of a supporting plate of a
hot blast valve. The method comprises the following steps: winding an air leaking position by using a thin
copper wire strand at first, and fastening and stressing through bolts of the
flange;
welding a cooling water tank to the lower part of the
hot blast valve, and enabling the upper edge of the cooling water tank to be higher than the air leaking
flange; respectively
welding a water replenishing tube and a water
draining tube to the upper part of the cooling water tank; connecting the water replenishing tube to a water tube through a
ball valve and a cloth inserted hose, and meanwhile
welding an overflow tube to the upper edge of the cooling water tank; then opening the
ball valve on the water replenishing tube to carry out water replenishing; after water flows out from the water
draining tube, adjusting the open degree of the
ball valve, enabling water replenishing and water draining amount to be balanced, and cooling the flange submerged in cooling water through the flowing cooling water. The problem of rising of temperature caused by air leakage of the supporting plate of the
hot blast valve can be controlled effectively, burn-through of the supporting plate is prevented, blast stopping accidents of a
blast furnace are avoided, consumption of spare parts is reduced, repair costs are reduced, yield loss is avoided, and smooth production of the
blast furnace is guaranteed.
