Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel rolling heating furnaces, and in particular to a hydrogen combustion system of a steel rolling heating furnace and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the steel rolling industry, heating furnaces are critical equipment for heating steel billets. The efficiency, safety, and environmental performance of their combustion systems directly impact rolled steel quality and energy costs. The use of clean fuels, such as hydrogen, in steel rolling furnaces is one of the primary approaches to decarbonizing and reducing heating furnace emissions. While hydrogen combustion offers advantages such as zero carbon emissions and high calorific value, its unique physical and chemical properties pose significant challenges to combustion system design.
[0003] The existing steel rolling heating furnace combustion system is mainly composed of blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, coke oven gas or a mixture of the three, or purchased natural gas. Hydrogen molecules are small and easy to leak, flammable and explosive, with a fast combustion speed, prone to backfire and flame shape change. The main technical bottlenecks of adding a hydrogen combustion system to the heating furnace are: Insufficient safety in gas pipeline transportation: Traditional metal pipelines are prone to hydrogen embrittlement and cracking in high-pressure hydrogen environments, leading to leakage risks; the existing monitoring system has a delayed response to pressure, flow and temperature fluctuations during hydrogen transportation, making it difficult to achieve precise control and posing a safety hazard.
[0004] The efficiency and stability of hydrogen combustion need to be improved: Conventional heating furnace burners mostly use a fixed premixing structure, which cannot dynamically adjust the air-fuel ratio according to the operating conditions in the furnace, easily causing problems such as incomplete combustion and unstable flame, leading to increased energy consumption and pollutant emissions.
[0005] Extensive furnace status monitoring and energy efficiency utilization: Traditional monitoring methods can only obtain single-point temperature data, lacking real-time quantitative assessment of the furnace temperature field and combustion efficiency; the waste heat recovery system relies on a fixed switching cycle and cannot intelligently match the combustion status, resulting in a large amount of waste heat resources being wasted.
[0006] While existing technologies have attempted to improve system performance through material improvements or local control optimization, they have yet to develop a comprehensive, comprehensive solution encompassing transportation, combustion, monitoring, and energy recovery. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a safe, efficient, and intelligent hydrogen combustion system for steel rolling mill heating furnaces to meet the needs of the green metallurgical industry.
