Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refractory maintenance construction of a hot blast stove body, and particularly to a construction method for replacing part of the checker bricks of a hot blast stove. Background Art

[0002] At present, checker bricks are heat-carrying and heat-storing bodies with many excellent thermal engineering characteristics such as strong heat exchange ability, large heat storage area, smooth air passage, and small resistance, which are widely recognized and accepted in the world's iron-smelting industry. Checker bricks are a heat transfer medium, mainly used in the upper and middle parts of the regenerator of a hot blast stove to play a heat storage role. They play an extremely important role in the process of heating cold air into hot air. However, as the service time of the hot blast stove increases, the checker bricks will also be damaged and need to be replaced. The traditional replacement method is to open multiple discharge holes for removing the old bricks and installing the new bricks. On the one hand, it increases the workload, and on the other hand, multiple openings are not conducive to the firmness of the wall body. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Step 5: Restore the wall and remove the closed chute. While restoring the checker bricks, restore the wall body of the originally opened discharge hole. After the wall body restoration is completed, weld and restore the furnace shell. According to the laying height of the checker bricks, the chute is gradually removed in sections until all the checker bricks are laid.
