Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, and more specifically, to a self-cooling device for high-temperature coal gas in a blast furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, blast furnace ironmaking plays a crucial role as the core link in steel manufacturing. During operation, blast furnaces generate a large amount of high-temperature gas, which contains abundant thermal energy. Traditional blast furnace gas treatment methods often focus on simple dust removal, purification, and direct discharge or inefficient use of some thermal energy, without fully exploring the potential value of the waste heat of high-temperature gas, resulting in a huge waste of energy.

[0003] With the continuous growth of energy demand and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction have become key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the industrial sector. On the one hand, traditional energy resources such as coal and oil are facing increasing depletion, and the tight energy supply situation compels enterprises to improve energy efficiency in order to reduce production costs and ensure energy security. On the other hand, the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated during industrial production have had an impact on climate change, restricting pollutant emissions and energy consumption of industrial enterprises.

[0004] In the blast furnace ironmaking industry, the recovery and utilization of waste heat from high-temperature coal gas has enormous potential for energy conservation and emission reduction. However, existing waste heat recovery technologies have many limitations. For example, some waste heat recovery devices have complex structures, high equipment investment costs, and are difficult to operate and maintain, making it difficult for enterprises to bear their economic burden, thus hindering the promotion and application of these technologies. In addition, some waste heat recovery systems are inefficient and cannot fully recover the waste heat in high-temperature coal gas, making it difficult to meet the energy-saving needs in actual production. Furthermore, some waste heat recovery methods have poor treatment effects on coal gas, which may affect the subsequent utilization of coal gas or even damage production equipment.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a blast furnace high-temperature gas self-cooling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a blast furnace high-temperature gas self-cooling device, which can realize the recovery of waste heat of high-temperature gas by using waste heat refrigeration unit, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A self-cooling device for high-temperature blast furnace gas includes a cooling tower, a waste heat refrigeration unit, a main gas pipe, and a control cabinet. A cooler is connected to the outer end of the main gas pipe. The waste heat refrigeration unit includes a generator, an evaporator, and a condenser. A high-temperature gas pipe is connected between the gas inlet of the generator and the main gas pipe, and a low-temperature gas pipe is connected between the gas outlet of the generator and the main gas pipe. A cooling tower inlet pipe and a cooling tower outlet pipe are connected between the water side of the condenser and the cooling tower. A low-temperature water pipe and a medium-temperature water pipe are connected between the water side of the evaporator and the cooler. A reducing three-way valve is installed on the main gas pipe, connecting it to the high-temperature gas pipe. A gas blower and a balancing valve are installed on the high-temperature gas pipe, with the balancing valve located to the right of the gas blower. This device utilizes the waste heat refrigeration unit to recover waste heat from the high-temperature gas, thereby achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, temperature sensors are installed on the cooling tower inlet pipe, cooling tower outlet pipe, high-temperature gas pipe, low-temperature water pipe, medium-temperature water pipe, main gas pipe, and low-temperature gas pipe.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, pressure sensors are installed on the high-temperature gas pipe, the main gas pipe, and the low-temperature gas pipe.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, flow sensors are installed on the cooling tower inlet pipe, cooling tower outlet pipe, high-temperature gas pipe, medium-temperature water pipe, main gas pipe and low-temperature gas pipe.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a cooling water pump is installed on the outlet pipe of the cooling tower, a reducing joint is provided at the connection between the low-temperature gas pipe and the high-temperature gas pipe, and a cooling water pump is installed on the medium-temperature water pipe.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This device utilizes a waste heat refrigeration unit to recover the waste heat of high-temperature coal gas, converting the originally wasted heat energy into usable cold energy. The high-temperature coal gas is introduced into the coal gas side of the generator of the waste heat refrigeration unit through a gas fan and a variable diameter three-way valve for heat exchange, so that the waste heat is fully recovered.

[0015] 2. The device is equipped with temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and flow sensors on various key pipelines. These sensors can monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate of media such as high-temperature gas and cooling water in real time. The data collected by these sensors is transmitted to the control cabinet. The control cabinet precisely adjusts the operating status of the device according to the preset program to ensure that the temperature of the gas remains stable within a suitable range during the cooling process. Precise temperature control not only helps to improve the stability of subsequent processes and product quality, but also avoids damage to production equipment caused by excessive temperature fluctuations, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces the company's equipment maintenance costs.

[0016] 3. The structural design of this device fully considers operational stability and economy. By rationally arranging components such as cooling towers, waste heat refrigeration units, and gas mains, and equipping them with auxiliary equipment such as cooling water pumps and cooling water pumps, the system achieves efficient operation. At the same time, the device adopts advanced waste heat refrigeration technology, which reduces water and electricity consumption compared to traditional cooling methods, thereby lowering operating costs. In addition, the device is relatively simple to operate and maintain, reducing labor costs and equipment downtime, further improving the economic benefits of the enterprise.
