Abstract:
The life of a Blast Furnace is determined by the condition of the Hearth. Numerous thermocouples are embedded in the refractory lining and the temperature readings are monitored for sudden temperature increases. These provide warnings about the approach of the hot metal body to the periphery of the Blast Furnace presaging refractory wear leading to failure. Because of the fatal nature of the consequences, the temperature readings have to be interpreted correctly. This invention describes a method whereby the left out refractory lining profile is estimated as well as the thickness of the protective skull. It serves as a guide to continue operation of the furnace, to direct repair work to the critical areas, as well as to suggest replacement of faulty sensors. In the effect, this method serves to increase the working life of Blast Furnaces.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for decreasing the temperature of blast-furnace gas temperature peaks which is characterized in that the pressure of the blast-furnace gas is being measured continuously, and injection of water into the blast-furnace gas is triggered off when a threshold value for the pressure is exceeded. The injection of water is carried out in at least one member of the group consisting of the three members blast furnace's furnace throat, off-takes through which blast furnace gas is diverted from the blast furnace to a -first dedusting device, pipes through which the blast furnace gas is diverted from the first dedusting device to a second dedusting device or from the second dedusting device to a further dedusting device. It also provides a devices-system for performing the method comprising means for triggering off (7) the means for injection of water (4) based on a signal of the means for measuring the pressure (6).
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a measuring probe for a measurement of the material distribution inside the burden of a blast furnace. The measuring probe comprises a sensor with a transmitter coil and a receiver coil, which are protected by a protective shell against heat and abrasion. An alternating current is applied to the transmitter coil that emits a primary alternating magnetic field, which induces eddy currents in any electrically conductive material of the burden within the primary alternating magnetic field. The eddy currents generate a secondary alternating magnetic field and a receiver coil measures an electrical current, which is generated by the primary alternating magnetic field and the secondary alternating magnetic field. The measured electrical current is evaluated by a control and evaluation unit. The electrical current is indicative of the material distribution inside the burden of a blast furnace.
Abstract:
In a charging process of a shaft furnace, in particular of a blast furnace, batches of charge material are typically discharged in cyclical sequence into the furnace from a top hopper using a flow control valve. A method and system is proposed for adjusting the flow rate of charge material in such a process. According to the invention, a respective set of plural valve settings is stored for each batch, each valve setting of a set being associated to a different stage in the discharge of the batch. The method and system are configured to discharge a given batch so that, at each stage in the discharge of the given batch, the flow control valve operates at a constant valve opening according to the valve setting associated to that stage and so that an actual average flow rate at which charge material is discharged is determined for that stage. Further according to the invention, the method and system are configured to correct the plural valve settings offline and in function of the actual average flow rate determined for the associated stage.
