Abstract

"FORNO DE AQUECIMENTO TENDO QUEIMADORES DE REGENERAçãO DE CALOR E SEU MéTODO DE OPERAçãO". São propostos um método para controlar a pressão em um forno para evitar a introdução de ar em um forno de aquecimento, um método de operação estável durante a baixa carga de combustão dos queimadores regeneradores de calor e um método para medição da concentração de um gás atmosférico em um forno de aquecimento. Quando o calor recuperado com os queimadores cada um deles ligado a um corpo de regeneração de calor é usado para aquecer o ar de combustão dos queimadores em um estado de combustão, a razão de absorção do gás de exaustão a partir dos queimadores para o corpo de regeneração de calor é ajustada para controlar a pressão do forno de acordo com uma carga de combustão em todo o forno de aquecimento. A pressão no forno é controlada ajustando-se a taxa de fluxo de ar diluído de acordo com a temperatura do gás de exaustão na chaminé de exaustão do lado de entrada de um recuperador no forno de aquecimento e a carga de combustão no forno de aquecimento. Quando a porta de extração do forno de aquecimento é aberta, a chama dos queimadores de aquecimento localizados na região inferior da extremidade de extração do forno é estendida por toda a largura da abertura na direção lateral da porta de extração fechando assim o caminho de entrada do ar na porta de extração com a chama do queimador, suprimindo assim o aumento da concentração de oxigênio no forno. Em um caso onde a carga de combustão nos queimadores regeneradores de calor é pequena, um sopro quente é fornecido ao dispositivo de absorção para absorver o gás de exaustão no forno a partir dos queimadores através do corpo de regeneração de calor durante o estado de não-combustão. Quando a operação para o forno de aquecimento é conduzida enquanto utiliza o calor recuperado para aquecer o ar de combustão dos queimadores durante o estado de combustão, uma porção do gás de exaustão absorvido dos queimadores é introduzida em um analisador para medir a concentração dos ingredientes do gás de exaustão.
