[0037] Example
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a hydrogen-rich gas-fired self-preheating material injection blast furnace of this embodiment comprises a blast furnace body (1), an air intake main pipe (2), an air intake surrounding pipe (3), an air intake branch pipe (4), a heat exchange cooling wall (5), an inter-wall connecting pipe (6), an air outlet branch pipe (7), an air outlet surrounding pipe (8), and an injection branch pipe (9).
[0039] The blast furnace body (1) is the service object of the utility model and has universality and generality.
[0040] The heat exchange cooling wall (5) comprises a heat exchange coil (501), a cooling water pipe (502), a wall body (503), and a cooling wall groove (504).
[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the hydrogen-rich gas fuel for blast furnace injection enters the air intake pipe (3) through the air intake main pipe (2); the air intake pipe (3) is arranged along the circumference of the blast furnace and has a plurality of air intake branch pipes (4) evenly distributed thereon; the hydrogen-rich gas fuel enters the heat exchange cooling wall (5) inside the blast furnace body (1) evenly through the air intake branch pipes (4) in the air intake pipe (3); the heat exchange cooling wall (5) is provided with a heat exchange coil (501); the hydrogen-rich gas fuel is preheated to a set temperature through the series connection of the plurality of heat exchange coils (501); the hydrogen-rich gas fuel preheated to a specific temperature is enriched in the air outlet pipe (8) through the air outlet branch pipe (7); and the high-temperature hydrogen-rich gas fuel is sprayed into the furnace through the injection branch pipes (9) evenly distributed on the air outlet pipe (8).
[0042] As an improvement of the above embodiment, a temperature sensor is used to monitor the outlet water temperature of the cooling water pipe in real time, and the temperature of the wall (503) can be adjusted by adjusting the water volume in the cooling water pipe (502) to reach the preheating temperature of the adjusted gas. That is, when the outlet water temperature of the cooling water pipe is greater than the first predetermined temperature, the outlet water volume of the cooling water pipe is increased; when the outlet water temperature of the cooling water pipe is less than the second predetermined temperature, the outlet water volume of the cooling water pipe is reduced.
[0043] As an improvement of the above embodiment, the heat exchange coil is located on the hot surface of the heat exchange cooling wall, adopts a serpentine tube structure, and is spirally placed inside the cooling wall groove. The hot surface is integrally cast with high thermal conductivity and wear-resistant castable.
[0044] As an improvement of the above embodiment, the cooling water pipe is provided with a bypass water pipe, which adjusts and balances the preheating temperature of the hydrogen-rich fuel gas and the temperature of the wall by adjusting the cooling water volume inside the cooling water pipe, thereby protecting the wall from damage while preheating the gas.
[0045] As an improvement of the above embodiment, the hydrogen-rich fuel gas can be sprayed into the blast furnace through the tuyere, or can be sprayed into the blast furnace through re-opening holes in the furnace belly or the furnace waist.
[0046] As an improvement of the above embodiment, the heat exchange coil adopts a thick-walled metal tube with high thermal conductivity, wear resistance and pressure resistance, and is flexibly fixed to the inside of the groove of the heat exchange cooling wall by means of a buckle.
[0047] The embedding depth of the heat exchange coil in the groove can be adjusted according to the design requirements. While preheating the hydrogen-rich fuel gas, the heat exchange coil also reduces the overall temperature of the cooling wall, provides certain protection for the cooling wall, and prolongs the service life of the heat exchange cooling wall. The self-preheating process of the hydrogen-rich gas fuel injection blast furnace body utilizes the harmful waste heat inside the blast furnace, which improves the utilization efficiency of the blast furnace waste heat.
[0048] In summary, the utility model reduces the carbon consumption of the blast furnace by increasing the temperature of the hydrogen-rich gas fuel injected into the blast furnace and increasing the injection amount of the hydrogen-rich gas fuel. At the same time, the preheating heat comes from the waste heat of the blast furnace itself, which improves the waste heat utilization efficiency of the blast furnace and further reduces the carbon consumption of the blast furnace.
[0049] The utility model is described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the field without departing from the purpose of the utility model. Many other changes and modifications that do not depart from the concept and scope of the utility model should be considered as the protection scope of the utility model.
[0050] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0051] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
