Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling water jacket technology, specifically a high-strength, high-thermal-conductivity copper-steel composite cooling water jacket for an oxygen-enriched sealed furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In today's industrial production, oxygen-enriched closed furnaces are an important smelting equipment. Traditional copper-nickel ore smelting processes mainly employ closed blast furnaces, which are considered traditional processes with high energy consumption, limited processing capacity, low SO2 concentration in flue gas, and difficulties in acid collection and production. These methods are no longer suitable for the new demands of energy conservation, environmental protection, and large-scale production. Oxygen enrichment in closed blast furnace smelting is an improvement on this traditional process. Oxygen enrichment methods include top-blowing, side-blowing, and bottom-blowing. Copper-nickel ore oxygen-enriched closed furnace smelting uses side-blowing technology, where oxygen-enriched air is blown into the slag layer from the primary air inlets on both sides of the furnace, creating intense agitation and tumbling. This intense agitation provides conditions for the rapid and uniform distribution of materials in the melt, resulting in high-rate chemical reactions. However, the short lifespan of traditional furnace cooling systems affects the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, extending the service life of oxygen-enriched closed furnaces has become a key issue.
[0003] Oxygen-enriched closed furnaces operate in high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive environments. The furnace water jacket, as a key component of the cooling system, endures immense thermal stress and chemical corrosion. Traditional water jacket materials are insufficient to meet the requirements for long-term stable operation. Frequent maintenance and replacement not only increase production costs but also severely impact the continuity and stability of production.
[0004] Copper possesses excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance; however, pure copper has relatively low strength and wear resistance, making it difficult to withstand complex operating conditions when used alone. Heat-resistant steel, on the other hand, has high strength and hardness, but its thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance are inferior to copper. Therefore, combining copper and steel to fully utilize their respective advantages and fabricating an integrated copper-steel composite water jacket with tuyeres holds promise for solving the lifespan issue of oxygen-enriched sealed furnace bodies.

Fixing ears are provided on each of the first, second, third, and fourth side plates, and they are connected by bolts. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth side plates is composed of an inner copper base layer and an outer steel base layer facing the furnace body. Cooling water channels are pre-carved into the inner copper base layer, and the outer steel base layer is covered using an explosion process to combine the inner copper base layer and the outer steel base layer. The cooling water channels can be configured in different ways according to actual needs. Oxygen-enriched air vents are respectively provided in the lower parts of the second and third side plates.
