Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dry dust removal systems for blast furnaces, specifically to a device for cooling the ash silo in dry dust removal systems. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as steel mills and cement plants that generate large amounts of high-temperature dust, dry dust removal (such as bag filters and electrostatic precipitators) is a commonly used purification method. However, the dust after dust removal may still maintain a high temperature, which not only affects the safety of storage and transportation but may also lead to problems such as equipment overheating or dust spontaneous combustion.
[0003] During blast furnace production, some substances in the raw materials form dust, which, along with the blast furnace gas, passes through a gravity dust collector and enters a dry dust collection system to form dust ash. Dry dust collection uses nitrogen to transport the dust from individual dust collection bins to a centralized ash silo, and then from the silo to suction and discharge tank trucks for removal. The temperature of the dust ash is approximately 100-180℃. Excessive temperature can damage the filter bags inside the trucks, causing dust storms or mechanical failures. To ensure safe operation, the suction and discharge tank trucks must handle the dust below 90℃. Especially in summer, when temperatures rise, cooling the dust ash becomes more difficult. The centralized ash silo is designed with steam coils and external insulation for winter insulation, further complicating cooling. Even when steam is not used in summer, nitrogen must still be introduced into the bottom of the ash silo for auxiliary cooling, which takes approximately 4-6 hours. While effective, this increases costs and is time-consuming.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a device for cooling dry dust collection silos to solve the problems of difficult cooling, high cost and long time consumption in existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for cooling dry dust removal ash silos.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a device for cooling a dry dust removal ash hopper, including a cooling cover, heat sinks and support legs. The cooling cover is fitted around the heat sinks, the heat sinks are located outside the ash hopper, the heat sinks are fixedly connected to the ash hopper by bolts, and the support legs are located at the bottom of the cooling cover.
[0007] Specifically, the cooling cover is cylindrical and fitted onto the outside of the heat sink, and the cooling cover is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet and a heat dissipation port.
[0008] Specifically, the water inlet and water outlet are respectively located on both sides of the cooling hood, with the water inlet located below one side of the cooling hood and the water outlet located above one side of the cooling hood.
[0009] Specifically, the heat dissipation vent includes heat dissipation vent one and heat dissipation vent two. The cooling cover has reserved positions for openings on both sides, and heat dissipation vent one and heat dissipation vent two are respectively located at the reserved positions on both sides of the cooling cover.
[0010] Specifically, the heat sink is located on both sides outside the ash hopper, and the heat dissipation vents on the cooling cover are aligned with the heat sink.
[0011] Specifically, the support legs are located on both sides of the bottom of the ash hopper, and the support legs are placed on the ground to support the cooling cover.

[0017] Example 1:
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for cooling a dry dust collection ash hopper includes a cooling cover 1, a heat sink 2, and a support leg 3. The cooling cover 1 is fitted around the heat sink 2, the heat sink 2 is located outside the ash hopper 4, the heat sink 2 is fixedly connected to the ash hopper 4 by bolts, and the support leg 3 is located at the bottom of the cooling cover 1.

The cooling cover 1 is used to cool the ash hopper 4. The cooling cover 1 has an inlet 1.1 and an outlet 1.2 for allowing cold water to enter and exit, ensuring that the water inside the cooling cover 1 is always cool to cool the ash hopper 4. The cooling cover 1 also has a first heat dissipation port 1.3 and a second heat dissipation port 1.4, located at the openings on both sides of the cooling cover 1. These ports release the heat emitted by the heat sink 2. The water discharged through the outlet 1.2 can be collected and recycled to avoid waste. The bottom of the cooling cover 1 also has support legs 3 for supporting the cooling cover 1. The heat sink 2 is located on both sides of the ash hopper 4, and its position determines the location of the heat dissipation ports. The heat sink 2 is used to dissipate heat from the ash hopper 4.
