Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of blast furnace ironmaking technology, and in particular to an oxygen blast furnace gas supply sleeve and its installation method. Background Technology
[0002] The tuyere sleeve is one of the most critical components and operates under the harshest conditions in blast furnace equipment. Its technical background revolves around the core objective of ensuring the long-term stable, efficient, and smooth operation of the blast furnace.
[0003] The tuyeres are the main channel for high-temperature blast furnace air to enter the furnace. The tuyer sleeve is the crucial link between the furnace interior and exterior, connecting the blast furnace body (hot zone) with the external cooling water and air supply systems. It is a critical point where energy, material, and information flows converge. Its front end operates in a near-2000°C environment, with molten slag exceeding 1400°C. The temperature of the medium passing through the tuyer sleeve is also above 1000°C, making its working environment extremely harsh. The tuyer sleeve requires a rationally designed front-end shape and injection angle, directly affecting the combustion efficiency of pulverized coal, the shape and size of the swirling zone, and consequently, the rational distribution of gas flow within the furnace and the activity level of the hearth. The tuyer sleeve itself is an integrated system encompassing metallurgy, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and materials science. Its technological level directly reflects the advanced level of modern blast furnace smelting.
[0004] The main problems with the small tuyere sleeves currently used in blast furnaces are as follows: Low-carbon smelting is the future development trend of blast furnaces. In hydrogen-rich carbon-cycle oxygen blast furnaces, high-temperature coal gas, oxygen, and pulverized coal are injected. The various injection media interact with each other, and improper handling can affect the safety, stability, and long service life of the system. Currently, the traditional small-set structure is not suitable for low-carbon blast furnace processes and has a short service life.
[0005] The currently developed oxygen blast furnace tuyeres device, when the amount of pulverized coal injected reaches a certain level, is affected by the injected oxygen and injected coal gas, and the small sleeve parts in the injection direction are prone to wear. The currently developed oxygen blast furnace tuyeres have relatively low pulverized coal combustion efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems mentioned above, the present invention provides an oxygen blast furnace gas supply sleeve and its installation method.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this invention is as follows: an oxygen blast furnace gas supply sleeve, comprising an outer wall of the sleeve and a sleeve channel, wherein the sleeve channel is located in the middle of the sleeve, the inner part of the outer wall of the sleeve is a hollow cavity, the sleeve is provided with a pressing contact surface, the pressing contact surface is an inwardly concave arc surface, the pressing contact surface is surrounded by a circular bottom wall, the circular bottom wall is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, the outer wall of the sleeve is provided with an oxygen channel, the inlet end of the oxygen channel is located at the three o'clock position of the circular bottom wall, the outlet end of the oxygen channel is located inside the sleeve channel, and an annular oxygen passage is provided at a cross-section 50mm from the rear end face of the sleeve, the annular oxygen passage having a plurality of circular channels of the same size evenly distributed on it for connecting the sleeve channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the front and middle portions of the oxygen channel are rectangular.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the rectangular oxygen channel is more than 1.1 times larger than the cross-sectional area of the annular oxygen channel.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the annular oxygen channel is greater than 1.1 times the sum of the areas of the several circular channels.
[0011] Furthermore, both the annular oxygen channel and the circular channel are made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant ceramic material.
[0012] Furthermore, the angle between each of the circular channels and the inner wall of the small sleeve channel is 15°-75°, and the air outlet direction is towards the rear of the small sleeve.
[0013] A method for installing a gas supply sleeve in an oxygen blast furnace includes the following steps: S1. Place the small sleeve into the air vent. When installing the small sleeve, tilt it downwards by 3°-6° and to the right by 3°-6°. S2. Insert the direct-blowing pipe into the air outlet; S3. Press the top of the straight blow tube against the pressing contact surface of the small sleeve; S4. Open the sealing gas and check if there is any air leakage at the air outlet. If there is any air leakage, readjust the position of the direct blow pipe and the small sleeve. If there is no air leakage, connect the direct blow pipe to the equipment pipeline that delivers high-temperature gas.
[0014] Furthermore, step S2 also includes inserting the pulverized coal injection pipe diagonally above the direct injection pipe into the small sleeve channel, extending it to 50-100mm from the circular channel.
[0015] Furthermore, during blast furnace operation, the oxygen flow rate at the outlet end of the circular channel is controlled at 120-160 m / s, and the oxygen flow rate at the outlet end of the circular channel is 50-100 m / s lower than the medium flow rate in the small sleeve channel.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: (1) The design structure of this small set can meet the requirements of all-oxygen blast furnace smelting and is in line with the development trend of low-carbon smelting; (2) The structural design of the small set is that a uniform oxygen nozzle is arranged around the outlet at the rear end of the small set. The area of the oxygen nozzle is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the oxygen channel. Both the oxygen channel and the annular nozzle are designed with wear-resistant ceramic. The material has strong wear resistance and deformation resistance, so it can ensure that each nozzle of the annular oxygen nozzle can spray oxygen evenly.
[0017] (3) In this small tuyer, before the pulverized coal enters the furnace, the pulverized coal injection airflow meets the dual airflow of hot air blowing and oxygen ring jet, and the correction towards the center of the tuyer is stronger than that of the traditional blast furnace. This not only improves the combustion efficiency of pulverized coal, but also improves the position and shape of the tuyer swirling zone.
[0018] (4) By setting an oxygen ring injection channel in the small set, the present invention can more effectively improve the combustion efficiency of pulverized coal by increasing the oxygen concentration in the gas, improve the position and shape of the tuyere swirl zone, and reduce the wear of pulverized coal injection on the small set equipment.

The cross-sectional area of the rectangular channel of the oxygen channel 5 is more than 1.1 times the cross-sectional area of the annular oxygen passage 6. The cross-sectional area of the annular oxygen passage 6 is greater than 1.1 times the sum of the areas of the several circular channels 7. Both the annular oxygen channel 6 and the circular channel 7 are made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant ceramic material. The angle between each circular channel 7 and the inner wall of the small sleeve channel 2 is 15°-75°, and the gas outlet direction is towards the rear of the small sleeve.
[0022] A method for installing a gas supply sleeve in an oxygen blast furnace includes the following steps: S1. Place the small sleeve into the air vent.
