Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgical equipment technology, and in particular to an auxiliary nitrogen supply device applicable to the nitrogen gas system for converter slag splashing. Background Technology

[0002] The converter LT dry dust removal system is the core purification equipment for converter smelting flue gas. With its highly efficient dust removal and environmental protection effects, and excellent energy-saving performance, it has been increasingly widely used in domestic steel enterprises. Converter flue gas contains solid particles such as iron oxide and gaseous components such as carbon monoxide and oxygen. The electrostatic precipitator is the main part of the converter dry dust removal system that removes solid particles. It contains several sets of cathode plates and anode wires. An electric field environment is created between the cathode plates and anode wires through discharge. Dust floating in this environment is adsorbed and removed under the action of the electric field, thus purifying the converter flue gas. When carbon monoxide and oxygen in the flue gas reach a certain mixing ratio, they can explode upon contact with an open flame, damaging the electrostatic precipitator shell and internal equipment, forcing the converter to shut down for an extended period.

[0003] During converter blowing, situations such as slag discharge midway through oxygen blowing or blowing at the end of the blowing process necessitate secondary oxygen blowing. This can easily lead to excessive oxygen content, potentially causing an explosion in the electrostatic precipitator. To prevent the formation of an explosive gas mixture from carbon monoxide and oxygen, the oxygen content in the mixed gas must be strictly controlled (below 14%). Existing equipment uses oxygen lances to blow nitrogen to reduce the oxygen content in the flue gas. However, because the oxygen lances need to blow nitrogen into the converter body, some nitrogen is lost, resulting in low nitrogen utilization and a slow reduction in flue gas oxygen content, only reaching 16%-17%.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can further reduce the oxygen content of flue gas in the initial stage of converter blowing (below 14%), while also accelerating the rate of oxygen content reduction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problem of nitrogen loss due to the need for oxygen lances to blow nitrogen into the converter body, an auxiliary nitrogen supply device suitable for converter slag splashing nitrogen systems is provided. This invention primarily utilizes a nitrogen nozzle located at the banana-shaped outlet below the evaporator cooler to supply nitrogen, thereby accelerating the reduction of oxygen content.

[0006] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows: An auxiliary nitrogen supply device for a converter slag splashing nitrogen system, applicable to the converter slag splashing nitrogen system, comprising: A nitrogen nozzle is installed at the banana-bend outlet below the evaporative cooler; the nitrogen nozzle is connected to the main nitrogen supply pipeline. A valve assembly is installed between the nitrogen nozzle and the main nitrogen supply pipeline; the valve assembly includes electrically controlled valves. The opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve at the nitrogen control point of the slag splashing system in the converter slag splashing system is utilized.

[0007] Furthermore, the valve assembly also includes: First manual control valve and second manual control valve; The electrically controlled valve is positioned between the first manually controlled valve and the second manually controlled valve.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the nitrogen nozzle is determined based on the nitrogen flow rate required for the actual flue gas flow rate during converter smelting.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple nozzles are provided at the end of the nitrogen nozzle near the banana-bend outlet below the evaporative cooler.

[0010] Furthermore, the nozzles are evenly spaced and uniformly arranged.

[0011] Furthermore, a check valve is provided between the nozzle and the first manual control valve.

[0012] Furthermore, the control of the opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve using the slag splashing nitrogen control point in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system includes: The electrically controlled valves and the oxygen lance slag splashing nitrogen valves in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system are interlocked and open synchronously. When the oxygen content detected by the gas analyzer in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system is below 15%, the electrically controlled valve is shut off.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: A nitrogen nozzle is inserted into the flue at the banana-bend outlet below the evaporative cooler. This is combined with nitrogen blowing from the converter oxygen lance to reduce the oxygen content in the flue gas and further shorten the nitrogen blowing time. This effectively prevents the electrostatic precipitator from experiencing a leak or explosion due to excessive internal oxygen content.

[0014] The nitrogen nozzle of this device is equipped with five nozzles installed in the east, south, west, north and center, with the nozzle outlet facing the direction of flue gas flow. The five nozzles are evenly distributed on the cross-section of the flue gas flow to ensure that the nitrogen is fully and evenly mixed with the converter flue gas.

[0015] This device designs the nitrogen nozzle diameter based on the actual flue gas flow rate required during converter smelting, effectively preventing the formation of explosive gases from the mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen.

[0016] The nitrogen nozzle of this device is equipped with a check valve to prevent the coal gas in the converter smelting flue gas from flowing back into the nitrogen nozzle.

[0017] The device has manual valves installed on both sides of the electrically controlled valve for use when replacing the intermediate pneumatic valve. The intermediate pneumatic valve operates frequently, and if it is damaged, the manual valves on both sides can be closed simultaneously to complete the replacement.

[0018] When nitrogen curtain is created before the second lower lance of the converter, the electrically controlled valves in this device open synchronously with the nitrogen valves for slag splashing from the oxygen lance. The opening and closing are automatically controlled by the converter nitrogen blowing signal and the oxygen content displayed by the gas analyzer. No additional devices are required. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and easy to implement.

[0019] Based on the above reasons, this utility model can be widely promoted in the fields of steel metallurgical equipment, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This utility model provides an auxiliary nitrogen supply device for a converter slag splashing nitrogen system. By inserting a nitrogen nozzle into the flue at the banana bend outlet below the evaporator cooler, nitrogen is supplied to dilute and inertify the oxygen in the flue gas before the secondary bottom lance blowing of multiple converters.

[0031] Example like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary nitrogen supply device for a converter slag splashing nitrogen system, which is applied to the converter slag splashing nitrogen system and includes: The nitrogen nozzle 6 is located at the banana bend outlet below the evaporator cooler. The nitrogen nozzle is connected to the main nitrogen supply pipeline. A valve group is installed between the nitrogen nozzle and the main nitrogen supply pipeline. The valve group includes an electrically controlled valve 4, which is opened and closed by the electrically controlled valve 4 at the nitrogen control point of the slag splashing nitrogen system in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system.

[0032] The valve assembly also includes: a first manual control valve 3 and a second manual control valve 4, with the electrically controlled valve 4 positioned between the first manual control valve 3 and the second manual control valve 5.

[0033] The diameter of the nitrogen nozzle 6 is designed based on the nitrogen flow rate required for the actual flue gas flow rate during converter smelting. In this embodiment, the nitrogen flow rate is designed to be 15000. The diameter of nitrogen nozzle 6 is 150 mm. .

[0034] Multiple nozzles 1 are installed at the end of the nitrogen nozzle 6 near the banana-shaped outlet below the evaporator cooler. The nozzles 1 are evenly spaced and uniformly arranged.

[0035] A check valve is installed between the nozzle and the first manual control valve. The opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve at the slag splashing nitrogen control point in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system includes: the electrically controlled valve and the oxygen lance slag splashing nitrogen valve in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system are interlocked and opened synchronously. When the oxygen content detected by the gas analyzer in the converter slag splashing nitrogen system is less than 15%, the electrically controlled valve is closed.

[0036] A nitrogen injection pipe is installed inside the banana-bend outlet flue below the evaporative cooler, along with an external nitrogen valve assembly. When secondary lower-lance blowing occurs during converter blowing, it can effectively coordinate with the converter oxygen lance for nitrogen blowing, reducing the oxygen content in the flue gas and further shortening the blowing time. This effectively prevents explosion accidents caused by excessive internal oxygen content in the electrostatic precipitator.

[0037] To ensure more thorough and uniform mixing of nitrogen with the converter flue gas, five nozzles (east, south, west, north, and center) are installed at the outlet of the nitrogen nozzle in the banana-bend flue. These nozzles are connected to the main nitrogen pipeline and supplied by the main nitrogen pipeline. The five nozzles are evenly distributed across the flue gas flow section, with the nozzle outlet facing the direction of flue gas flow. To effectively prevent the formation of an explosive gas mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen, the nominal diameter of the nitrogen nozzle is designed based on the nitrogen volume required by the flue gas flow rate during converter smelting. To prevent backflow of coal gas from the converter smelting flue gas into the nitrogen nozzle, a check valve is installed on the nitrogen nozzle. To effectively conserve nitrogen consumption, the nitrogen nozzle supply system is equipped with an automatic pneumatic shut-off valve. The opening and closing of the pneumatic shut-off valve is automatically controlled by the converter slag splashing nitrogen blowing signal and the oxygen content displayed by the coal gas analyzer.

[0038] After installing this device, the oxygen content in the flue gas before secondary oxygen blowing in the converter is reduced (below 14%), and the time required to reduce the oxygen content is shortened, increasing production efficiency. The calculation is as follows: Before the improvement, there were an average of 1.5 secondary lance-down incidents per shift, each lasting 4 minutes; after the improvement, the time for each nitrogen blowing is shortened to 2 minutes. The annual non-maintenance downtime saved by the three converters is: (4-2) minutes / time * 1.5 times / shift * 3 shifts / day * 365 days / year = 3285 minutes / year. The converter process calendar operation rate is 78.125%, the average converter output is 260 tons, the average smelting time is 45 minutes, the fixed cost per ton of steel is approximately 89.83 yuan / ton of steel, and the contribution coefficient is 80%. The increased production efficiency of the three converters = reduced time * calendar operation rate / process production cycle * average furnace output * fixed cost per ton of steel * number of converters. The economic benefit of reducing downtime = 3285 * 78.125% / 45 * 260 * 89.83 * 80% = 1,065,600 yuan / year.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
