[0014] The number of sections of the annular cooler matches the configuration; the distribution form and number of cooling fans match the configuration. When small cooling fans are selected for arrangement, their number matches the arrangement of the inner and outer rings of the annular cooler.
[0015] The heat-resistant temperature of the cooling fan matches the cooling requirements of sintered ore in different stages.
[0016] Bypass valves are arranged on the cooling fan cascade pipelines after the first stage of the annular cooler and the second stage of the annular cooler.
[0017] The butterfly valve at the cooling fan outlet is a wear-resistant dust-gas butterfly valve.
[0018] In actual application, the ring cooler 1 is divided into six sections. The number of cooling sections of the ring cooler can be increased or decreased according to the configuration. Six cooling fans are set, namely NO.1 cooling fan 2, NO.2 cooling fan 3, NO.3 cooling fan 4, NO.4 cooling fan 5, NO.5 cooling fan 6 and NO.6 cooling fan 7. The number of cooling fans can be increased or decreased according to the configuration.
[0019] The high-temperature cooled waste flue gas from the first and second stages of the ring cooler is introduced into the waste heat boiler 8 to generate steam or generate electricity after generating steam.
[0020] The cooling waste flue gas of the three stages of the ring cooler is divided into three parts. The front end part is merged into the first stage of the ring cooler and the second stage of the ring cooler and introduced into the waste heat boiler 8 for generating steam or generating electricity after generating steam; the middle part is led to the flue gas circulation system 10 for utilization and participates in the flue gas circulation; the end part is led to the sintering igniter 9 as the combustion-supporting air of the combustion-supporting fan.

[0026] Bypass valves are installed on the cooling fan cascade pipelines after the first and second stages of the ring cooler. When the cooling effect of the sintered ore is not good, the flue gas path can be adjusted at any time to avoid affecting the sintering production. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0027] A wear-resistant dust butterfly valve is used at the cooling fan outlet so that when the cooling fan is ready to exit, it can effectively block the overflow of cooling smoke and dust, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0028] In the present invention, all the cooling waste gas of the ring cooler is recovered and recycled without being discharged into the atmosphere, thus achieving zero emission of waste gas from the ring cooler, improving the energy recovery rate, greatly improving the environmental protection effect, and having excellent promotion value in the industry.
