摘要:
A horizontally movable sampling probe, for insertion into and retraction from a blast furnace, is supported in an aperture in the furnace wall. The support mechanism for the probe includes a fluid cooled guide block attached to the furnace shell and having a support portion extending toward the furnace interior at least part way through the refractory furnace wall lining.

The reducing power of gases liberated at the top of the charge of an industrial furnace is determined by a method wherein the energy radiated from the charge in the range, for example between 1 and 6 microns, covering the radiant energy emitted by the compounds CO.sub.2, CO, H.sub.2, and CH.sub.4 is continuously measured in a multiplicity of detection points distributed over the entire upper surface of the charge and outputs are formed corresponding to the energy radiated at each of the points. An energy image of the energy radiated at the points in the range is formed from the outputs. This energy image is converted into respective specific images for the compounds by isolating from the energy image for each detection point the radiant energy emitted by the compounds. The concentration of each of the compounds at each of the points is calculated from the intensity of the respective specific image. Finally the reducing power at each of the detection points is derived from the respective concentrations of the compounds thereat.
摘要:
The bore in the shaft wall of a blast furnace through which a furnace probe is inserted is formed with a valve mechanism for shutting the probe bore when the probe is removed and with a sealing assembly located outwardly of the valve mechanism to prevent outburst of heat from the furnace while the probe is removed. A hose seal which bears against the blast furnace probe is connected to the sealing assembly on the side thereof opposite the valve mechanism.
摘要:
A method of monitoring the wear of refractor walls of a blast furnace wherein temperature is sensed at different points across the thickness of the furnace walls and various electric representations of the internal phenomena of the blast furnace are derived as trigger signals. Analysis is carried out as to the correlation between the trigger signals and variations in the temperatures at the furnace walls in terms of the time delay, thus predicting the present status of the wear of the furnace walls. A temperature probe assembly is also disclosed which is useful in sensing the temperature distribution of the refractory walls. The temperature probe assembly includes a plurality of parallel sheath type thermocouples or thermometers.

The present invention discloses a blast-furnace operation method which comprises selecting three factors, i.e. the oxygen volume in blast, the ore/coke and the reducibility of the burden materials as control factors from among these which participate in the variation of heat input and heat output of blast furnace, plotting values of these three factors obtained from the practical operation of efficient blast furnaces on a graph consisting of three parallel axes indicating the three factors, evaluating the conditions of furnace heat with reference to a balanced state of the three plotted factors and adjusting one or more of the three factors in the furnace so all will lie within a suitable range thereby balancing the furnace heat.

For use in a system for injecting powdered reagent into a pool of molten metal through a lance whose discharge end is submerged in molten metal and to which powdered reagent is conveyed by a flow of carrier gas, sensing means is arranged to derive a signal dependent upon the rate of flow of carrier gas to the lance and after predetermined time delay the signal is applied to control means so as to effect a shut off of the supply of powdered reagent and of the flow of carrier gas and to elevate the lance out of the pool of molten metal whenever the lance becomes clogged on the one hand or ruptured on the other.
摘要:
In controlling a slab reheat furnace, the average temperature of each slab in a zone, is predicted as a function of the radiation heat source temperature in the zone, and the thermal properties, dimensions, location, velocity, and past thermal history of the slabs. The predicted slab temperatures are compared with a range of desired slab temperatures and the slab requiring the greatest time to be heated to its desired temperature is identified. The furnace is controlled in such a manner that the identified slab will be heated to the desired temperature. Slabs likely to be overheated are identified and, if a predetermined temperature limit is to be exceeded, the furnace is controlled to prevent further heating of the slabs. Gas temperatures throughout the zone are predicted based upon only one sensed temperature in the zone.
摘要:
A transfer and storage mechanism is provided for disposable tube probes used in metallurgy. The transfer mechanism is arranged to select from several vertical stacks of such probes and to transfer the selected probe to a lance for insertion into a converter. The same mechanism provides several functions in that it holds the selected probe tube, pivots it into position for engagement with the lance and centers the probe for engagement for the lance. Moreover, arrangements are provided for engaging and sliding the selected tube out of the storage area into the transfer mechanism.

A device is disclosed for inserting a lance into a vertical furnace, especially a blast furnace, so as to sample gases and measure the temperatures or pressures thereof, thereby obtaining the accurate information of operating conditions in the furnace.
摘要:
A device for protecting a turbine driven by an exhaust gas of a blast furnace from a high temperature gas generated and discharged when the blow-out phenomenon takes place in the blast furnace is disclosed. In this protective device, occurrence of the blow-out phenomenon is detected, and cooling water is sprayed in an exhaust gas or in the turbine to lower the temperature of the gas, or cooling water is directly sprayed to a part of a material which readily undergoes thermal degradation to cool the material.
