At present, the waste heat recovery of converter flue gas has not effectively utilized the heat of the low-temperature flue gas after the flue gas temperature drops to 850 °C. Iron and steel enterprises try to recover and utilize as much converter waste heat steam as possible and utilize the waste heat of the low-temperature converter flue gas. The transformation of the low-temperature flue gas waste heat recovery project requires the use of a high-temperature plug valve for the flue.

[0014] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A high-temperature knife gate valve for a steelmaking converter flue with a gas purging function according to the utility model includes a connecting flange 1, which is installed between two vaporization flues 2. A cooling loop pipe 3 is arranged inside the connecting flange 1. The cooling loop pipe 3 is arranged close to the inner wall of the connecting flange 1, and a cooling water inlet 4 and a cooling water outlet 5 are arranged on the cooling loop pipe 3. The cooling water inlet 4 and the cooling water outlet 5 are located at opposite ends of the cooling loop pipe 3, and after the cooling water inlet 4 and the cooling water outlet 5 are connected to a water pipe, they extend out of the connecting flange 1.
[0015] A serpentine tube 6 is arranged inside the cooling loop pipe 3. The serpentine tube 6 is coiled inside the cooling loop pipe 3, and the rear side of the serpentine tube 6 is attached to the stiffening rib plate 7, and the edge of the stiffening rib plate 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling loop pipe 3.
[0016] A nitrogen seal loop pipe 8 is arranged on the front side of the serpentine tube 6. The back side of the nitrogen seal loop pipe 8 is attached to the front side of the serpentine tube 6. A nitrogen inlet 9 is arranged on the nitrogen seal loop pipe 8 and is connected to an external nitrogen input pipe. Nozzles 10 are arranged on the front side of the nitrogen seal loop pipe 8 and cover a full circle of the nitrogen seal loop pipe 8. After nitrogen is ejected from the nozzles 10, it can blow nitrogen to the inner wall of the flue to prevent the explosion of gas and ensure the safe operation of the flue.
[0017] An electric control valve is installed on the nitrogen inlet pipe connected to the nitrogen inlet 9. The electric control valve is associated and controlled with a flue gas content measuring instrument. When the CO content in the flue reaches the warning range, the opening of the electric control valve increases, the nitrogen flow rate increases, and the flue gas in the flue is quickly purged. When the CO content in the flue reaches the safe range, the opening of the electric control valve decreases, and the nitrogen flow rate decreases, thus achieving the function of saving nitrogen consumption. To ensure that the nitrogen nozzle is not damaged by high-temperature flue gas, the nitrogen flow rate needs to be set to a minimum value.
[0018] This high-temperature slide valve for a steelmaking converter flue with a gas purging function is equipped with a cooling circulating water system and a nitrogen sealing system. The cooling circulating water is in a continuous water supply mode, and the cooling circulating water can cool down the flue gas. The nitrogen sealing adjusts the nitrogen flow rate according to the CO content in the flue, and the adjustment cycle is synchronized with the steelmaking cycle, thereby preventing gas explosion and ensuring the safe operation of the flue. This device has a compact structure, simple operation, is safe and reliable, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves the safety of steelmaking.
