Description

Method for improving the combustion efficiency of a burner of a hot blast stove, and such a hot blast stove comprising a gas burner
The invention relates to a hot blast stove with an in¬ ternal combustion chamber and a single dome structure.
From US-A-3, 297, 310 a hot blast stove with an external combustion chamber is known, as opposed to the subject of the invention which deals with a hot stove with an internal combus¬ tion chamber. The design known from US-A-3, 297, 310 is rather extravagant since it deals with the application of a double dome structure, which is distant from the subject-matter of the in¬ vention and has found only limited application, if any at all.
US-A-4, 054, 409 teaches a swirling gas burner for a hot blast stove that has gas blow openings and air blow openings equally inclined with respect to horizontal radii extending from the center of a cylindrical space within the stove's combustion chamber, and formed to communicate annular gas and air passages with said space. Further there is an additional air blow opening that has at its upper end a generally vertical rectangular cross-section opening upwards into the combustion chamber of the hot blast stove so as to provide an upward air flow along the inner wall of the combustion chamber.
European patent specification EP-B-0 561 449 discloses a ceramic gas burner for a hot blast stove of a blast furnace, said burner having a burner crown at which gas and air ducts have discharge openings, and which burner is provided with a central gas duct and side air ducts for primary combustion air, which side air ducts have their discharge openings at opposite sides of the discharge opening of said gas duct, and is provided with a central air duct which extends within the gas duct and has a discharge opening or openings within said gas duct. This central air duct serves the purpose of providing secondary com- bustion air, therewith intending to improve the combustion characteristics of the burner, in particular to further the degree of completeness of combustion.
A clear disadvantage of the design according to EP-B-0 561 449 is that it is not suited to retrofit according to this design existing burners such as are known from EP-A-0 306 072.
Generally speaking a stove combustion system for a blast furnace is typically designed for a minimum excess air volume of 5% over the stochiometric air volume that is required for complete combustion. In practice however it appears that this value is too optimistic due to apparent poor mixing charac¬ teristics of the burner design according to the prior art. Consequently if the amount of excess air is not increased, the per¬ centage combustibles in the waste gas will exceed legal require- ments. In some situations during actual operation the minimum excess air volume is therefore increased to values between 20 and 30 % to remedy the situation. This however goes at the ex¬ pense of cooling of the flame with which the hot blast stove is heated due to the increased air supply, and in order to compen- sate for this the volume of enrichment gas has to be increased to maintain the same flame temperature.
For a typical three stove installation according to the prior art that supplies 4000 Nm3/h of hot blast at a temperature of 1200 °C, the required enrichment volume is 2400 Nm3/hr of natural gas, assuming that an excess air percentage of 25 % is maintained .
It is an object of the invention to provide a hot blast stove with a ceramic or non-ceramic burner which has improved combustion characteristics, and which can be fired with a de- creased amount of excess air which comes closer to the typical design value of 10% over the required stoichiometric air volume.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method for improving the combustion characteristics of existing burners of hot blast stoves, in a manner that is cost effective and yet capable to realize retrofitted burners with the possi¬ bility to fire such burners close to their typical design value of 5% over the required stoichiometric air volume. This is also beneficial for for environmental reasons since it reduces the amount of coalmonoxide in the flue gases.
According to the invention a method for improving the combustion efficiency of a burner of a hot blast stove, and such a hot blast stove comprising a gas burner are proposed having the features of one or more of the appended claims. In a first aspect of the invention a hot blast stove having a single dome structure is provided that has an internal combustion chamber comprising a gas burner, said burner having a burner crown at which gas and air ducts have discharge openings that are upwardly directed into the combustion chamber, and which burner is provided with a gas duct and air ducts for pri¬ mary combustion air, which air ducts have their discharge openings at opposite sides of the discharge opening of said gas duct, and which is provided with at least one auxiliary air duct in the combustion chamber that has one or more outlets for sec¬ ondary combustion air, wherein the at least one auxiliary air duct is provided above the burner crown, and wherein the one or more outlets for secondary combustion air of the at least one auxiliary air duct is or are placed so as to have a discharge opening or discharge openings of said outlets that is, or are, facing downwards towards the burner crown. Due to the placement of this at least one auxiliary air duct an improved mixing of gas and combustion air is achieved immediately above the burner crown, which diminishes the required amount of excess air for complete combustion and secures that complete combustion can be attained as closely as possible to the burner crown.
With respect to the feature to have the discharge open¬ ing or discharge openings of said outlets face downwards towards the burner crown, it is remarked that this includes several em- bodiments. It is for instance possible to have the discharge opening or discharge openings of the outlets for secondary com¬ bustion air face towards the burner crown straight in-line with the discharge opening (s) of the burner crown's gas duct, or at an oblique angle thereto, depending on what solution best suits the requirements of the situation.
In a preferred embodiment there are multiple auxiliary air ducts for secondary combustion air extending above the burner crown, all having discharge openings that are facing downwards towards the burner crown, which discharge openings for secondary combustion air are distributed above and along the length of the discharge openings of the gas duct and air ducts for primary combustion air.
It has been found possible by improving the mixing ef¬ ficiency in accordance with the invention that the excess air percentage for complete combustion can be reduced to 10 %, i.e. to an excess air volume to 1600 Nm3/h in a system that supplies 4000 Nm3/h of hot blast at a temperature of 1200 °C. This means a saving of 800 Nm3/hr as compared to the above mentioned prior art, and amounts to a saving of natural gas of 7.5 million m3 per year with such a three stove system that operates in a cycle of 45 minutes on blast, 80 minutes on gas, and having 90 % availability .
In a further aspect of the invention the at least one auxiliary air duct is placed above the burner crown from outside, through a wall of the hot blast stove. This feature pro¬ vides the possibility to improve the burner characteristics of an existing burner of a hot blast stove at affordable costs, and without necessity to demolish the existing burner or parts thereof.
It is further desirable that the auxiliary air duct or ducts is, respectively are provided with a mantle for a cooling medium, such as water or air. This is a suitable manner to secure the longevity of the applied auxiliary ducts or ducts de- spite the high temperatures at which they are required to oper¬ ate .
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to an exemplary embodiment of a hot blast stove designed in accordance with the invention, and with reference to the drawing.
In the drawing:
figure 1 shows a cross-sectional side view of a part of a hot blast stove with an internal combustion chamber that is pro¬ vided with auxiliary gas ducts according to a first embodi- merit;
figure 2 shows a cross-sectional top view of the hot blast stove in accordance with the line A-A in figure 1 ;
figure 3 shows a cross-sectional side view of a part of a hot blast stove with an internal combustion chamber that is pro- vided with one auxiliary gas duct according to a second em¬ bodiment ;
figure 4 shows a cross-sectional top view of the hot blast stove in accordance with the line A-A in figure 3;
figure 5 shows a cross-sectional side view of an external combustion chamber that forms part of a hot blast stove, which is provided with auxiliary gas ducts; and
figure 6 shows a cross-sectional top view of the external combustion chamber of the hot blast stove in accordance with the line A-A in figure 5.
Wherever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
Figure 1 and figure 2 show a first embodiment of a hot blast stove 1 with an internal combustion chamber and a single dome structure in a cross-sectional side view and a cross- sectional top view respectively. The hot blast stove 1 comprises a gas burner 2, said burner 2 having a burner crown 3 at which a gas duct 4 and air ducts 5 have discharge openings 6, 7 respec¬ tively that are upwardly directed into the combustion chamber. The burner crown 3 is to this end provided with a central gas duct 4 and side air ducts 5 for primary combustion air, which side air ducts 5 have their discharge openings 7 at opposite sides of the discharge opening 6 of said gas duct 4.
According to the invention the hot blast stove 1 is provided with at least one auxiliary air duct 8 provided in the combustion chamber above the burner crown 3 (figure 2 shows that in this example two auxiliary air ducts 8 are applied that are placed transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the burner crown) , which at least one auxiliary air duct 8 has one or more outlets 9 for secondary combustion air. This outlet or outlets 9 are arranged such that their discharge open¬ ing or openings are facing downwards towards the burner crown 3.
Connected with the auxiliary air ducts 8 as employed according to the invention, are a fan 11 for pressurizing the secondary combustion air which is to be supplied above the burner crown 3 during operation of the burner 2. Furthermore arrangements are to be made for controlling the amount of secon¬ dary combustion air that is to be supplied. This will for instance include a controlling valve 12 which may be tuned to the amount of combustion gas that is supplied through the gas duct 4 of the burner 2 and the amount of primary combustion air that is supplied through the air ducts 5.
Figure 3 and figure 4 show a second embodiment of a hot blast stove 1 in a cross-sectional side view and a cross- sectional top view respectively.
According to this second embodiment the hot blast stove 1 is provided with only one auxiliary air duct 8 that is pro¬ vided in the combustion chamber above and in the longitudinal direction of the burner crown 3. Again also in this embodiment the auxiliary air duct 8 has one or more outlets 9 for secondary combustion air.
The outlets 9 are arranged such that their discharge opening or openings are facing downwards towards the burner crown 3. As in the first embodiment discussed with reference to figures 1 and 2 hereinabove, and in the third embodiment to be discussed hereinafter with reference to figures 5 and 6, this means that the discharge opening or discharge openings of the outlets 9 for secondary combustion air face the burner crown 3 straight in-line with the discharge opening (s) of the burner crown's gas duct 6, or at an oblique angle thereto, depending on what solution best suits the requirements of the situation.
Reference numeral 13 that is applied in figures 3 and 4 relates to connections for supplying a cooling medium, such as water or air to a mantle of the auxiliary air duct or ducts 8.
Finally reference is made to figure 5 and figure 6 that relates to a third embodiment, showing an external combustion chamber of a hot blast stove 1 in a cross-sectional side view and a cross-sectional top view respectively.
According to this third embodiment the hot blast stove
1 is provided with three auxiliary air ducts 8 provided in the combustion chamber above the burner crown 3, which auxiliary air ducts 8 have one or more outlets 9 for secondary combustion air.
All the embodiments according to the figures 1 - 6 show an important aspect of the invention, being that the at least one auxiliary air duct 8 can be placed above the burner crown 3 from outside, through a wall 10 of the hot blast stove 1. This opens the possibility to upgrade existing burners of hot blast stoves at low costs. The only requirement is then to make a hole or holes in the wall 10 of the hot blast stove 1 and move the auxiliary air duct or ducts 8 through these holes into position above the burner crown 3 of the burner 2.
The invention and the scope of protection that is warranted thereby, is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment which is used hereinabove to illustrate the way how the invention may be employed. The invention may be varied in many ways without de¬ parting the scope of protection of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Hence it are only the claims that define said scope of protection, and the above description merely serves to resolve any ambiguity that may reside in these claims.
