A method for protecting a crystallizer through nitrogen to reduce loss comprises the following steps that a, nitrogen circulation supply preparation is conducted, specifically, a nitrogen circulation groove is formed in the position, away from an end opening, of the crystallizer, nitrogen inlet holes are evenly distributed in the nitrogen circulation groove, and the nitrogen circulation groove is communicated with the nitrogen inlet holes so that nitrogen can be supplied in a circulation mode; b, cooling water supply preparation: transforming a plurality of water inlets and water outlets of the water jacket into smooth water inlets and water outlets with inclination of 45 degrees and rotating shapes, so that the cooling water flows smoothly and uniformly for cooling; c, the copper sleeve is formed in a liquid-to-solid state, high-pressure cooling water is arranged outside the copper sleeve, and high-temperature copper water is arranged inside the copper sleeve; the inner hole of the high-temperature-resistant graphite gasket of the mold body is reduced, so that the heat insulation area of the copper sleeve at the heat insulation end is increased, the sealing and heat insulation effects are realized, and the copper sleeve is effectively protected to reduce the loss of the crystallizer. The method is high in work efficiency, effectively enlarges the heat insulation area of the copper sleeve at the heat preservation end and effectively protects the copper sleeve; and the cooling is smooth and uniform, the surface of the pipe blank is smooth, the cost is saved, and the quality and casting efficiency are improved.
