The Effect of Blast Furnace Gas Quality and Combustion Controls on Hot Blast Stove Performance

摘要

Gas quality and good combustion control will have a major impact not only on stove performance but also on stove life. Fortunately, the steps taken to improve combustion control to maximize stove operating efficiency will also contribute to stove longevity. This is achieved by subjecting the stove to the smallest thermal cycles that are consistent with furnace hot blast requirements.
