[0002] In the field of smelting, the blast furnace hot blast stove is an important system. Its main working principle is: the combustible gas is sent into the hot blast stove through the pipeline, and the combustible gas is used to burn the lattice bricks in the furnace to heat them. After the lattice bricks are heated, the combustion system is closed and cold air is sent in. The cold air is heated by the lattice bricks, and the temperature of the heated cold air reaches a certain temperature before it is sent to the blast furnace.
