method for preventing dust from dust laden in abgasabzugskanälen abgasquellen, in particular to elektrothermischen furnaces and suitably equipped abgasabzugskanal

摘要

A method for preventing deposits or build-ups of dust in off-gas channels for dust-containing off-gases from electrothermal smelting furnaces. This is done by blowing an additional gas tangentially into the furnace off-gas channels at the positions where build-ups or deposits of dust normally occurs. Hence a gas spiral is provided between the inner wall of the furnace off-gas channels and the dust-containing, hot furnace off-gas. Recirculated and cooled furnace off-gas is preferably used as additional gas. For open furnaces where the furnace off-gas is completely combusted before it enters into the furnace off-gas channels, air can be used as additional gas. The temperature of the additional gas is preferably kept below the sintering temperature of the dust in the furnace off-gas.
