[0002] Side blown converter is the converter steelmaking method that air or oxygen is blown from the side of converter shaft to oxidize and remove impurity elements in molten iron and provide heat to obtain molten steel. Side blown converter can be divided into straight cylinder type and vortex drum type, and side blown converter mainly relies on air supply eye to supply air, and air (air or oxygen) is supplied from one side of the converter, therefore, the trunnion of one side of the converter is hollow and connected with the air pipe. Air or oxygen enters the hollow trunnion through the air pipe, then enters the air bellow through the support ring, and finally is blown into the molten pool through the air supply eye. The inclination angle of the air supply eye of the side blown converter is 7°-8°, and as the blowing process proceeds, the liquid level of the converter is constantly lowered, so the converter needs to be tilted to maintain the relative position of the air supply eye and the liquid level. The angle that the converter should maintain during each period of smelting is the rocking system of the side blown converter.

Oxygen-rich air can not only increase the combustion temperature in front of the tuyere, but also increase the heat content of unit combustion products due to the increase of the combustion temperature in front of the tuyere, which is beneficial to reducing the fuel ratio.

The existing side blown converter oxygen lance, oxygen and air each enter by a branch pipe, and the flow of oxygen and air cannot be adjusted, the concentration of oxygen-rich air also changes due to the fluctuation of air inlet pressure, so that the combustion effect is unstable, and further optimization is very needed.
