The present invention relates to a combustion control device capable of adjusting the amount of carbon dioxide in a hot furnace facility capable of stably controlling the amount of carbon dioxide generated during combustion in a hot furnace facility supplied to a furnace.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic configuration of a hot stove facility. Referring to FIG. 1, a hot stove operation includes a mixed gas (MIX-GAS) and a mixture of blast furnace gas (BFG) and coke oven gas (COG). In order to blow the air into the combustion chamber at a constant rate and to burn it, the combustion process of accumulating heat in the heat storage chamber flue in the hot stove 2 and the hot air stove 2 to blow cold air into the regenerated hot stove 2. ) To replace the pressure and the cold wind pressure to the inside of the hot stove (2) the replacement process, and after the completion of the charging in the replacement process after passing the cold air through the heat storage chamber of the regenerated hot stove (2) after making hot air A blowing process for supplying the blast furnace (1), and a temperature control process for detecting the temperature of the front end of the blast furnace (1) during the blowing process to control to a constant value.

At this time, although the number of hot blast furnace equipment is different for each type of blast furnace, about 3 or 4 hot blast furnaces are installed, the above processes are alternately performed to provide hot blast to the blast furnace 1 continuously.

In such a hot stove installation, FIG. 2 shows a conventional combustion control apparatus.                         

Referring to FIG. 2, a conventional hot stove combustion control apparatus includes a calorie setter 101, a flow rate setter 102 for setting a flow rate of a mixed gas, a calorie controller 103 for controlling combustion calories, , Air ratio calculator 104, COG flow controller 105, combustion air flow controller 106, mixed gas flow controller 107, exhaust gas oxygen controller 108, dome temperature controller 109, The exhaust gas temperature controller 110 cooperates with each other to perform initial quantity control, air-fuel ratio control, dome temperature control, exhaust gas temperature control, exhaust gas oxygen control, and calorie control in the combustion process.

In the above, the initial quantitative control is a control at the start of combustion, and the flow controllers 105 to 107 maintain the openings of the control valves 11, 16, and 18 at a constant value to ensure a constant flow rate of the combustion air and the mixed gas. Let's do it. The air-fuel ratio control calculates, through the air ratio calculator 104, air sufficient for combustion according to the flow rate of the mixed gas instructed by the mixed gas flow controller 107 as the combustion progresses, and the combustion air flow controller 106. ) To control the flow rate of the mixed gas and the combustion air. The dome temperature control sets the set value of the combustion air flow controller 106 such that the dome temperature controller 109 sets the detected temperature of the temperature detector 19 above the hot stove based on the air-fuel ratio control. To control. Subsequently, the exhaust gas temperature control is performed while the exhaust gas temperature controller 110 controls the exhaust gas temperature of the hot stove 2 detected by the temperature detector 21 to the set value set by the driver. The set value of the mixed gas flow controller 107 is controlled in accordance with the gas temperature detection value. Next, the exhaust gas oxygen control is to control the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas during the combustion according to the air-fuel ratio control to the set value set by the operator, and the exhaust gas oxygen detection amount of the oxygen detector 20 in the exhaust gas oxygen controller 108 is the set value. The set value of the mixed gas flow controller 107 is adjusted to be. Finally, in the calorie control, by comparing the calorie value of the mixed gas detected by the calorie detector 14 installed in the mixed gas pipe (MIX GAS) with the set value of the calorie setter 101 in the calorie controller 103, The set value of the COG flow controller 105 is controlled to be a set value.

As described above, in the conventional hot stove combustion process, after performing initial quantitative control, the combustion air, the mixed gas flow rate, and the COG gas are considered in consideration of the air-fuel ratio, the upper part of the hot stove (DOME) temperature, the exhaust gas temperature, and the exhaust gas O2. Although the flow rate is controlled, the amount of carbon dioxide generated differently according to the combustion state is not considered.

However, the large variation in the amount of carbon dioxide generation means that the combustion state is unstable, and in the unstable combustion state, the heat storage capacity and thermal efficiency are deteriorated, and thus control of the carbon dioxide amount is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the purpose of which is to control the amount of carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas to a certain value or less during the combustion of the hot stove, a hot stove to solve the heat storage capacity and thermal efficiency degradation due to unstable combustion state It is to provide a combustion control apparatus which can control the amount of carbon dioxide in an installation.

As a constituent means for achieving the above object, the present invention is to adjust the COG flow rate and the mixed gas flow rate of COG and BFG in the hot stove for burning a mixture gas and combustion air mixed with COG and BFG at a constant ratio A combustion control apparatus of a hot stove facility for controlling calories and mixed gas amounts during combustion, the combustion control apparatus comprising: a carbon dioxide detector configured to measure an amount of carbon dioxide contained in exhaust gas discharged during combustion of the hot stove; A signal processor for processing the signal output from the carbon dioxide detector into a signal having a predetermined shape; An upper limit setting unit for setting an upper limit set value of the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas; A signal comparing unit which compares whether the carbon dioxide detection value applied through the signal processing unit is greater than an upper limit setting value of the upper limit setting unit, and outputs a carbon dioxide amount control signal when the upper limit setting value is higher than the upper limit setting value; A carbon dioxide setting unit for setting a carbon dioxide control set value; And a carbon dioxide control unit operating when the carbon dioxide detection value is equal to or greater than an upper limit set value, calculating a deviation between the carbon dioxide setting value and the carbon dioxide detection value and outputting a control signal corresponding to the deviation.

2 is a configuration diagram showing a hot stove combustion control device according to the present invention.

The hot stove combustion control apparatus according to the present invention is based on a general hot stove combustion control apparatus, and in addition to the above-described initial quantity control, air-fuel ratio control, dome temperature control, exhaust gas temperature control, exhaust gas oxygen control and calorie control, It contains more carbon dioxide control function.

Accordingly, the hot stove combustion control device of FIG. 3 shows an improved configuration according to the technical idea of the present invention by taking the hot stove combustion control device shown in FIG. 2 as an example.

Therefore, in the description of FIG. 3 and the following, the components having the same configuration and function as the existing components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of the existing components will be omitted in order to avoid redundant description.

Referring to FIG. 2, the combustion control apparatus of the hot stove facility according to the present invention includes a carbon dioxide detector 22 for measuring the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas discharged during the combustion of the hot stove 2, and the carbon dioxide detector ( A signal processor 210 for processing the signal output from the signal 22 into a signal having a predetermined form; an upper limit setter 220 for setting an upper limit set value of the amount of carbon dioxide included in the exhaust gas; and a carbon dioxide control set value. Compare the carbon dioxide setting unit 230 and the carbon dioxide detection value applied through the signal processing unit 210 is greater than the upper limit setting value of the upper limit setting unit 220, and outputs a carbon dioxide amount control signal when the upper limit setting value or more. As a result of the comparison between the signal comparison unit 240 and the signal comparison unit 240, it is operated when the carbon dioxide detection value is equal to or higher than the upper limit setting value, and the set value of the carbon dioxide setting unit 230 Calculating a deviation of the detected value of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and a controller 250 for outputting a control signal corresponding to the variation as a prerequisite.

In addition, in order to implement the carbon dioxide amount control through calorie control and mixed gas flow rate control, the control signal of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is input, and the calorie change amount corresponding to the carbon dioxide control signal is calculated to calculate the calorie setting device. The first setting operation unit 260 for varying the calorie setting value of 101 and the control signal of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 are input to calculate a mixed gas change amount corresponding to the control signal, and thus the mixed gas flow rate. And a second setting calculator 270 for varying the mixed gas flow rate setting value of the setter 102.

Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above, first, the carbon dioxide (hereinafter referred to as CO) detector 22 measures the amount of carbon dioxide of the exhaust gas discharged to the chimney 5 during the combustion operation of the hot stove (2). The signal is input to the signal processor 210. The signal processor 210 converts the detection signal of the CO detector 22 into a signal of a set type and provides the signal comparison unit 240 as a CO detection value.

The upper limit setting value of the amount of carbon dioxide is set by the setting unit 220 in the signal comparing unit 240, and the signal comparing unit 240 sets the upper limit of the CO detection value input from the signal processing unit 210. Determine if it is above the value. That is, when the CO detection value is greater than or equal to the set value as a result of the determination, a predetermined signal (for example, an output contact signal) is output and the CO detection value is applied to the carbon dioxide control unit 250.

By the contact signal, the control signal of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is output to the first and second setting operation units 260 and 270. The carbon dioxide control unit 250 sets the CO setting value set by the carbon dioxide setting unit 230 and the signal. The CO detection value applied through the comparator 240 outputs a control signal corresponding to the deviation value.

The control signal output from the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is applied to the first and second setting calculation units 260 and 270 when the CO detection value exceeds the upper limit setting value, and the carbon dioxide control unit 250 has a CO detection value and the setting value. If it is the same, the carbon dioxide amount is stable, so the output of 50% is sent. If the CO detection value is larger than the set value, the output is reduced to 50% or less, and if the CO detection value is smaller than the set value, the output is increased to 50% or more.

The first setting operator 260 is for applying carbon dioxide control to calorie control, and calculates a calorie value corresponding to an output value of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 based on the calorie setting value set by the calorie setter 101. Output

The first setting operator 260 changes the calorie setting value through the following operation.

Here, f is a calorie setting value output from the first setting operator, P is a preset calorie setting value, e is a control signal of the carbon dioxide control unit, k3 is a correction coefficient.

For example, if the calorie setting value P set by the calorie setter 103 is 70%, and the control output applied from the carbon dioxide control unit 250 decreases due to the increase of carbon dioxide in the flue gas, the first value is 30%. The setting operation unit 260 reduces the calorie setting value by 2% by 70+ (30-50) × 0.1 = 68% and applies it to the calorie controller 103. The calorie controller 103 reduces the amount of combustion COG to reduce the calories during combustion, and thus the COG flow controller 105 adjusts the COG flow rate, thereby reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas.

On the contrary, when the amount of carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas decreases and the output of the carbon dioxide controller 250 increases, so that the control output becomes 70%, the first setting calculator 260 may control the calorie setting value 70% of the calorie setting value 70%. , 70+ (70-50) × 0.1 = 72, the calorie setting value is increased by 2% and applied to the calorie controller 103, and in order to increase the calories during combustion, the COG flow rate for combustion is COG flow rate. It is increased by the control of the controller 105. As a result, the amount of dioxide gas included in the exhaust gas generated after combustion increases due to the increase in the amount of COG gas.

When the CO detection amount does not exceed the upper limit reference value, the control output of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is not applied to the first setting operator 260, and therefore, the calorie setting value generated by the first setting operator 260. There is no, in this case, the calorie control is made by the existing calorie setter 101.

In addition, the output of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is also applied to the second set operation unit 270, the second set operation unit 270 controls the amount of carbon dioxide of the exhaust gas within the reference range by adjusting the flow rate of the mixed gas in accordance with the change amount of carbon dioxide To this end, the second setting operation unit 270 adjusts the mixed gas flow rate by subtracting the mixed gas amount corresponding to the control output of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 from the set value of the mixed gas flow rate setting unit 102. .

The second setting operator 270 changes the mixed gas flow rate setting value so that the carbon dioxide change appears as shown in Equation 2 below.

Here, g is a mixed gas flow rate setting value output from the second setting calculator, Q is a preset mixed gas flow rate setting value, e is a control signal of the carbon dioxide control unit, and k4 is a correction coefficient.

For example, in the state where the mixed gas flow rate set value Q of the mixed gas setter 102 is 70%, the control output of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 decreases due to the amount of carbon dioxide that is greater than the set value. If so, the second set operation unit 270 calculates 70+ (30-50) × 0.1 = 68% to reduce the mixed gas set amount by 2%, and thus the mixed gas flow controller 107 reduces the 2%. The mixed gas flow rate is reduced by the mixed gas set amount. On the contrary, when the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas is reduced and the output of the carbon dioxide control unit 250 is increased to 70%, the second set operation unit 270 operates with 70+ (70-50) × 0.1 = 72. In addition, the mixed gas flow rate setting value is increased by 2%. Accordingly, the mixed gas flow controller 107 increases the mixed gas flow rate supplied to the combustion facility of the hot stove 2.

As described above, the combustion control apparatus according to the present invention, by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide and the mixed gas flow rate during combustion in accordance with the amount of change of carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas, so that the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas can always maintain the set range, As such, maintaining the constant amount of carbon dioxide may solve the problem of heat storage capacity and thermal efficiency deterioration due to combustion unevenness such that the combustion state of the hot stove 2 is kept substantially constant.

Meanwhile, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

As described above, the hot stove combustion control apparatus according to the present invention can stably manage the amount of carbon dioxide generated during hot stove combustion within a predetermined range, and as a result, suppresses the emission of carbon dioxide and provides stable combustion. It is possible, and as a result, there is an excellent effect to improve the heat output capacity and thermal efficiency of the hot stove.
