[0037] like Figure 1 As shown: a combustion-supporting blower 6 is arranged on the air inlet pipeline of the hot blast furnace 8, and the combustion-supporting blower 6 draws external air.

[0038] Specifically, the combustion-supporting blower 6 draws in external air to enable the burner 7 to burn fully.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown: the steam heat exchanger 5 is arranged on the hot air inlet pipeline of the drying tower 12, and a blower 4 is arranged to be connected with the steam heat exchanger 5.

The burner 7 stops supplying gas, the steam control valve 3 is closed to stop supplying steam, the concentrated material pump 17 stops, the induced draft fan 16 stops, and the blower 4 stops in sequence. Other equipment of the air heating system remains in operation, and pay attention to adjusting the motor frequency of the combustion-supporting fan 6 and the smoke exhaust fan 10.
