Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting technology, specifically to a secondary air oxygen distribution system for a side-blown furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical industry, the side-blown furnace is an important piece of smelting equipment, and its operating efficiency and environmental performance directly affect production benefits and environmental protection. During the smelting process, the side-blown furnace generates a large amount of flue gas, which contains not only valuable gaseous components but may also contain harmful substances. Therefore, the treatment and control of this flue gas is of paramount importance.
[0003] Traditional side-blown boiler secondary air oxygen distribution systems often employ relatively simple distribution methods, lacking precise gas composition analysis and flow regulation mechanisms. This makes it difficult to accurately control the oxygen ratio of the secondary air during actual operation, and prevents timely adjustments based on the actual composition of the flue gas. On the one hand, this can lead to a waste of oxygen resources and increased production costs; on the other hand, an unreasonable oxygen ratio can also affect the combustion efficiency of the flue gas, resulting in increased emissions of harmful substances and environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0006] A secondary air oxygen distribution system for a side-blown furnace includes a gas composition analyzer, a main secondary air duct, a blower, a mixing pipe, a gas mixing device, secondary air branch pipes, an oxygen pipeline, and a control system. The gas composition analyzer is located at the flue gas outlet of the side-blown furnace. One end of the main secondary air duct is connected to the blower, and the other end is connected to the mixing pipe. The mixing pipe is located in the flue gas zone of the side-blown furnace, and the gas mixing device is installed inside the mixing pipe. The gas mixing device includes at least two perforated plates spaced apart along the airflow direction, with the perforation diameter of the perforated plates decreasing layer by layer along the airflow direction, and the perforations of adjacent perforated plates being staggered. The secondary air branch pipe is installed on the main secondary air duct and connected to the oxygen pipeline. A first flow regulating valve is installed on the oxygen pipeline. A second flow regulating valve is installed on the main secondary air duct and located between the blower and the secondary air branch pipe. The gas composition analyzer, the first flow regulating valve, and the second flow regulating valve are connected to the control system.
[0007] Furthermore, the oxygen pipeline is equipped with a shut-off valve, which is located between the first flow regulating valve and the secondary air branch pipe, and the shut-off valve is connected to the control system.
[0008] Furthermore, both the first flow regulating valve and the second flow regulating valve are solenoid valves.
[0009] Furthermore, the control system includes a data processing module, an information storage module, a security module, and a user interface module.
[0010] Furthermore, the blower is a variable frequency blower.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention provides a secondary air oxygen distribution system for a side-blown furnace.
