Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal energy conservation technology, and more specifically, to a device and system that can improve the dust removal efficiency of blast furnace tapping nozzles. Background Technology
[0002] Dust and slag are generated at every stage of blast furnace tapping, with the most severe dust and slag generation occurring below the swing chute. During tapping, molten iron is poured into the left and right ladles parked side by side on the left and right railway tracks below the blast furnace platform via the swing chute. The pouring of molten iron and the strong impact between the molten iron and the swing chute and ladles result in severe dust and slag generation, creating an extremely harsh environment. Currently, dust and slag are extracted from the vicinity of the ladles by installing dust extraction vents on both sides of the swing chute.
[0003] Below the swing chute are the molten iron ladle, railway, and passageway. To ensure the safe passage of the molten iron ladle, the passageway needs to be designed to be wide and well-ventilated (tunnel span is 11.4 meters). The lower edge of the blast furnace platform is at an elevation of 7.30 meters, the swing chute opening is 1.10 meters higher than the lower edge of the blast furnace platform, the ladle opening is at an elevation of 4.9 meters, and the ladle bottom is at an elevation of 0.9 meters. During tapping, 3.5 meters of molten iron is exposed to the natural environment. In addition to high-temperature heat radiation, convective heat loss is significant, with a general conclusion of 50-80℃ temperature loss, accounting for 27%-43% of the total temperature loss at the steel interface. Because the dust suction port is far from the ladle opening and the space below is completely open, the dust generated from below the swing chute to the ladle only surrounds the molten iron. The dust suction port is not targeted, resulting in a large amount of dust-free fresh air being drawn in through the dust suction port, diverting the capacity of the dust removal fan. On the other hand, since the flue gas during the molten iron flow is collected in an open space, the power of the dust removal fan is often continuously increased during production to achieve the dust removal effect, but the effect is not significant. This results in the dust removal fan having excessive capacity, but the actual dust extraction efficiency is not high. At the same time, the increased airflow and the reverse impact of the molten iron cause small pieces of slag and iron on the periphery of the molten iron stream to be thrown out, deviating from the trajectory and splashing in all directions. A large proportion of dust and slag and iron still overflows, making it appear as if the molten iron stream is forked and slag and iron are splashing. This worsens the environment under the blast furnace tapping area. Moreover, due to the increased air volume, the upward airflow formed by the dust removal suction port above envelops the entire molten iron, increasing the heat loss of the molten iron due to counter-current convection, resulting in a severe drop in the temperature of the molten iron and increasing the cooling of the molten iron.
[0004] With increasingly stringent requirements for energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection, the insulation and dust removal measures during blast furnace tapping have become more comprehensive and meticulous, and the power of dust removal fans has continued to increase. To address the issue of low-target dust removal between the swivel tap and the molten iron ladle, domestic research has been ongoing for decades, resulting in several proposed solutions. However, these solutions have generally not been truly implemented or applied due to their limited practicality. Utility Model Content
