Detailed Description
The following description of preferred embodiments of the invention will be made in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A cooling system for a lower valve box of a blast furnace comprises a supply mechanism 1, wherein the supply mechanism 1 is connected with the lower valve box through a pipeline mechanism; the pipeline mechanism comprises a cooling pipeline 2 and a vortex tube refrigerator 6; the supply mechanism 1 is connected with a vortex tube refrigerator 6 through a cooling pipeline 2, and the vortex tube refrigerator 6 is connected with a lower valve box; the invention discloses a cooling system for a lower valve box of a blast furnace, which is characterized in that a vortex tube refrigerator 6, a condenser 9 and a related temperature and pressure measuring element are added in the cooling system for the lower valve box of the blast furnace, so that the nitrogen cooling efficiency of the valve box is optimized under the condition of keeping a part of pipeline structures; the purposes of energy conservation and consumption reduction are realized; the supply mechanism is mainly a gas supply means, and may be a nitrogen tank, or may be the gaseous nitrogen supply mechanism 1, and may be specifically provided as needed.
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
the original lower valve box nitrogen cooling pipeline 2 is modified, a vortex tube refrigerator 6 which has a simple structure, relatively small modification workload, almost zero maintenance and adjustable temperature and can continuously provide a cooling medium with lower temperature is implanted, the highest 50 ℃ or even higher initial temperature of the cooling medium in high-temperature seasons in summer can be reduced to below 15 ℃ by utilizing the coordination of a vortex tube cooling technology and a condenser under the condition of ensuring that the pressure of low-pressure nitrogen is not less than 0.6MPa, the nitrogen cooling efficiency of the lower valve box can be improved to a great extent, the purposes of energy conservation and consumption reduction are achieved, and the predicted nitrogen usage can be reduced to 700-1000 m3/h or even lower usage.
The cooling principle of the vortex tube is as follows:
vortex tubes (Vortex tubes) are also known as Vortex tubes, Vortex refrigerators, and the like. A medium gas (taking compressed air as an example) with a certain pressure is input into a vortex tube vortex generator, then expanded and accelerated and then rotated, the gas flow enters the interior of a heat tube along the wall of the heat tube at the rotating speed of 1,000,000rpm, the gas in the heat tube generates energy conversion after passing through vortex exchange, the gas flow is divided into two gas flows of cold and hot, at the terminal end of the heat tube, a part of the medium gas passes through a regulating valve (for convenience of regulation, a knob type temperature control regulating valve is installed at a hot end outlet of a vortex tube refrigerator 6, when the opening degree of the regulating valve is increased, the temperature of the hot gas at the hot end outlet is increased, according to the law of energy conservation, the temperature of cold gas at the cold end outlet is synchronously decreased at the moment, similarly, when the opening degree of the regulating valve is decreased, the temperature of the hot gas at the hot end outlet is synchronously increased, the temperature of the cold gas at the cold end outlet is discharged in a hot nitrogen mode, and the rest of the medium gas returns through the center of the rotating gas flow entering the heat tube at a lower speed, the cold air flow passes through the center of the generator to form ultralow temperature cold air which is collected to the cold air end to be discharged. The lowest cold air temperature of the cold air flow ejected from the cold air end can reach-45 ℃ under the premise of drying gas at the temperature of 7Bar and 25 ℃, the maximum temperature reduction amplitude reaches-70 ℃, and the limit temperature of the hot air flow ejected from the other end can reach +180 ℃.
According to the relation between the relative flow Q/Qmax of the regulating valve and the relative opening L/Lmax and the pressure difference on the valve: Q/Qmax ═ f (L/Lmax) (dP1/dP) ^ (1/2), (relative flow Q/Qmax: the ratio of a certain opening flow Q and a full opening flow Qmax of the control valve; relative opening L/Lmax: the ratio of a certain opening stroke L and a full opening stroke Lmax of the control valve; differential pressure across the valve: the ratio of a certain opening pressure dP1 and a full opening pressure dP of the control valve.),
it can be seen that: the differential pressure is determined by a fluid channel formed by the valve opening (displacement L of the valve core), the smaller the opening, the smaller the relative stroke, the larger the differential pressure before and after the valve, namely the smaller the pressure after the valve; the larger the opening degree is, the larger the relative stroke is, and the smaller the differential pressure before and after the valve is, that is, the larger the pressure after the valve is. Namely: when the opening degree of the valve is changed, the flow rate of the working regulating valve is changed, and the pressure difference between the front and the rear of the valve is also changed, namely the pressure behind the valve is also changed.
According to the principle, in actual use, according to the conditions of environmental temperature, top temperature and the like, the temperature of cooling nitrogen of a valve box in a high-temperature season is remotely regulated within the range of 5-25 ℃ by pre-regulating a vortex tube with a temperature control device and regulating the opening of a regulating valve on a regulating pipeline, the generated medium flow and pressure change, so that the equipment operation requirements that the management temperature of a lower seal valve seat in the lower valve box is less than or equal to 130 ℃ and the working temperature is 110 +/-10 ℃ are met, and the purposes of saving energy, reducing consumption and operating economically on the premise of ensuring the safe operation of key equipment are finally achieved.
