The invention provides a self-sealing 
nitrogen circulating cooling method which comprises the following steps: a. 
nitrogen discharged after 
oxygen generation through the absorption 
oxygen-generation technology in a steel 
plant is delivered to a blower header 
pipe through a pressure pump and a delivery pipeline, and the 
nitrogen in the blower header 
pipe is mixed with a recycle gas after 
recovery of heat; b. after pressure is applied to the 
mixed gas by a blast blower, the 
mixed gas is delivered to an air inlet 
pipe of a cooler, enters a material layer zone of a self-cooler through the air inlet pipe, and then is output through a large 
flue after heat exchange with a high temperature 
mass at the temperature of 1000 DEGC; and c. the temperature of 
waste gas in the large 
flue reaches up to 500-600 DEG C, and then is reduced to 180-230 DEG C after 
recovery of heat, and the 
waste gas is again led to the blower header pipe as a recycle gas for mixed cycle utilization with supplementary nitrogen. The technology can realize continuity, stability, 
recovery of high temperature 
waste gas and metallization rate of products in production, meet the national policy requirements for 
energy conservation, emission reduction and cyclic economy, and provide space for reducing production cost.
