Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a blast furnace top equalizing pressure valve with a steam channel, belonging to the technical field of blast furnace equipment in the metallurgical industry. Background Art

[0002] The function of the equalizing valve on the top of a blast furnace is to equalize the pressure of the feed tank. By charging the tank with pressure, the pressure in the tank is slightly greater than the pressure inside the furnace, ensuring that the material can be smoothly poured into the furnace. Two equalizing valves are designed on the top of the blast furnace, and the working system is one open and one standby. The working medium used by the equalizing valve is blast furnace gas. The blast furnace gas produces condensed water due to the low temperature in winter and accumulates on the valve seat inside the valve. If the valve is closed for a long time in winter, the temperature is too low and the valve plate and the valve seat will freeze together, causing the valve to be unable to open normally and lose the normal function of the standby valve. The conventional method is to install an external steam heating pipe on the outside of the valve seat to transfer heat to the valve seat through thermal radiation to avoid the outer valve plate and the valve seat from freezing together as much as possible. However, when the outdoor temperature is below -15°C, there are still cases where the valve plate freezes and the valve cannot be opened or closed. Therefore, a pressure-equalizing valve seat with its own steam channel was studied. By connecting to steam, the problem that the pressure-equalizing valve cannot operate normally in winter due to the freezing of the valve plate and valve seat can be completely solved, reducing equipment failures and ensuring the normal production of the blast furnace.
