Product Introduction
I. Blast Furnace Body (including cooling wall, tuyere, and slag tap)
Functional Positioning: The core reaction vessel for ironmaking in a blast furnace, converting iron ore into molten iron through high-temperature reduction reactions. Design life: 15-20 years.




Key Components:
Cooling Wall: Uses copper/cast iron material, embedded in the furnace refractory material. High-temperature heat from inside the furnace is removed through water circulation (cooling water temperature difference ≤10℃), preventing furnace wall damage. Suitable for high-temperature areas such as the furnace body and furnace waist.
Tuyere/Slag Tap: The tuyere uses a copper water-cooled structure, with a diameter of 100-150mm, used for injecting hot air and injecting fuel; the slag tap is located in the lower part of the furnace belly, made of high-chromium cast iron, and withstands the scouring of 1450-1550℃ iron slag.
Technical Parameters:
Furnace Volume: 300-5800m³ (adaptable to annual production of 300,000-6,000,000 tons of molten iron)
Operating Pressure: 0.2-0.35MPa (high-pressure blast furnace)

II. Hot Blast Stove (Internal Combustion/External Combustion)
Functional Positioning: Provides 1100-1350℃ hot air for the blast furnace, improving smelting efficiency and reducing the coke ratio.
Type Comparison:
Type | Structural Characteristics | Hot Air Temperature | Applicable Scenarios |
Internal Combustion | Combustion chamber and heat storage chamber are located in the same furnace, compact structure | ≤1250℃ | Small and medium-sized blast furnaces (≤1000m³) |
External Combustion | Independent external combustion chamber, higher thermal efficiency | ≥1280℃ | Large blast furnaces (≥2000m³) |



Core Configuration:
Heat Storage Body: Checker bricks use silica bricks/high-alumina bricks, heat exchange area ≥500m²/m³ furnace volume
Combustion System: Coal gas/combustion air double preheating, heat utilization rate ≥85%
III. Coal Injection System (PCI)
Functional Positioning: Coal powder is injected into the blast furnace to replace some coke, reducing smelting costs (coal injection per ton of iron: 120-200kg).
System Composition:
Pulverizing Unit: Medium-speed coal mill (processing capacity 15-50t/h), coal powder fineness ≤15% (>200 mesh)
Injection Unit: Dense phase conveying tank (pressure 0.3-0.5MPa), single tuyere coal injection gun (wear-resistant tungsten steel material)
Control Advantages:
Automatic Adjustment: Adjusts the coal injection amount in real time according to furnace temperature and wind pressure (accuracy ±1%)
Safety Protection: CO concentration monitoring + nitrogen inerting system
IV. Top Charging Equipment (Bell-less Top)
Functional Positioning: Achieves uniform material distribution, controls the distribution of blast furnace gas flow, and improves reduction efficiency.

Technical Highlights:
Double Hopper Structure: Upper hopper storage + lower hopper unloading, charging capacity 50-150t/time
Rotating Chute: 360° adjustable (angle 10-55°), material distribution accuracy ±0.5°
Sealing System: Nitrogen sealing (pressure ≥0.05MPa), service life ≥5 years
V. Molten Iron Transfer Car
Functional Positioning: Transports high-temperature molten iron (1400-1500℃) from the blast furnace to the steelmaking workshop, capacity 30-320t.
Core Configuration:
Tank Body: Lined with magnesia carbon bricks (thickness 250-350mm), refractory material life ≥150 times
Tilting Mechanism: Hydraulic drive (tilting angle 130°), positioning accuracy ±0.5°
Running System: Gauge 1435mm, running speed 0-30km/h
System Integration Advantages
Energy Consumption Optimization: External combustion hot blast stove + PCI system combination, energy consumption per ton of iron ≤400kg standard coal (15% lower than traditional processes)
Intelligent Monitoring: Equipped with furnace body temperature field monitoring and material level imaging system, supporting remote maintenance
Customized Service: Can be designed according to American standard API and European standard EN, providing installation and commissioning + refractory material supporting schemes
