Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking in the metallurgical industry. More specifically, it relates to a structure of a blast furnace blower dehumidifier. Background Art
[0002] In the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking in the metallurgical industry, there is a dehumidifier for the blast furnace blower system, and the gas dehumidification treatment technology is realized through the dehumidifier. The blast furnace blower dehumidification technology is a key process for reducing the humidity of the blast furnace blower, which can significantly reduce the coke ratio, increase the molten iron output and reduce carbon emissions. The traditional dehumidifier has the following problems: 1. Uneven air flow distribution: resulting in low local dehumidification efficiency, easy to form condensation or blockage; 2. Insufficient mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency: unreasonable layout of traditional fillers or cooling pipes, low moisture condensation efficiency; 3. Corrosion and scaling: high humidity and acidic environment lead to short equipment life and high maintenance cost; 4. Bulky volume: redundant structure, difficult to adapt to the compact blast furnace system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new dehumidifier structure to solve the above problems.
