Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steelmaking production processes, and in particular to a method and device for water cooling a secondary smoke collecting chamber of a converter. Background Art

[0002] Currently, all steelmaking processes utilize the unburned process. Under this process, oxygen delivered by the converter's oxygen lance reacts with the molten iron in the converter to produce carbon and oxygen. Large amounts of CO and other gases are then sealed through the skirt and released into the gasification and cooling flue, where heat and gas are recovered. Due to smelting requirements, the skirt must be raised and lowered for each furnace. If the exhaust fan's air volume is not properly matched, the flue gas can "backfire" at the furnace mouth. The high-temperature flue gas and flames can heat the steel structure of the secondary smoke collection chamber for extended periods, frequently damaging the steel beams and shortening the chamber's lifespan, leading to serious safety incidents and economic losses.

[0006] The annular water-cooled beam includes a water-cooled beam body and a partition; two partitions are evenly arranged in the water-cooled beam body and separate the water-cooled beam body. After a water inlet is provided on the water-cooled beam body corresponding to one partition, a water outlet is provided on the water-cooled beam body corresponding to the other partition.

[0007] The sealing plate includes a steel plate and a tortoise shell mesh; the tortoise shell mesh is arranged to cover the inner surface of the steel plate, and refractory material is sprayed inside the tortoise shell mesh.
