AN IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR CHARGING A SHAFT SECTION OF A FURNACE IN PARTICULAR A BLAST FURNACE

摘要

This invention relates to an apparatus for charging a shaft furnace, in which each of plane faces of a second segment of a guiding member of a unit for distributing a burden over a cross section of the furnace is formed so that its first line of intersection with the first vertical plane passing through its geometric center and tangentially to a circle lying in a horizontal plane and having the center on the axis of the furnace and the radius equal to the distance from the furnace axis to the geometric center, the inclined angle " " to the horizontal plane, the intersection line© of all plane faces forming a polygonal line, exact subsequent length of the polygonal line, in a burden flow direction, making a greater angle of inclination with the horizontal plane than the preceding one, and a second line of intersection of each plane face with a second vertical plane passing through its geomettic center and the furnace axis is inclined at angle "beta" to the horizontal plane. With angle "beta" increasing with the burden flow.
