Definitions

  • a bottom-cooled blast furnace hearth is conventionally installed with carbon side walls and a plug made up of layers of fireclay block disposed on a base made up of a plurality of layers of carbon blocks or beams.
  • heat is removed from the lowermost layer of carbon beams or blocks by 'means of cooling air or water circulated through pipes that are installed in the lowermost layer of carbon beams or blocks.
  • the fireclay plug of a conventional sub-hearth construction may be lost in the first 3 to 6 months of the furnace campaign, allowing molten iron to filter into the pores of the carbon beams thereby increasing the heat conductivity thereof.
  • the molten iron on the hearth floor might sometimes be undersaturated with respect to carbon, and, in the absence of the fireclay plug, the deficient amount of carbon is obtained from the carbon beams. This results in erosionof the carbon beams or blocks.
  • more important is the heat loss from the hearth throughthe carbon beams orblocks which normally have a heat conductivity of approximately 100 Btu/sq ft/F/hr/inch. The removal of this heatfro m the carbon beams or blocks is costly because of the coolingwater or air whichhas to be circulated in the pipes disposed in the earbon beams orblocks.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic vertical section view of the prior art sub-hearth construction of a blast furnace.
  • FIG. 3 is a modification of the sub-hearth construction shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is another modification of the sub-hearth construction shown in FIG. 2.
  • the barrier layer 12 may extend co-extensively with the carbon beams.
  • Sub-hearth construction as defined by claim 1 including a conduit for cooling fluid extending through the lowermost of said plurality of layers of carbon.
  • Sub-hearth construction as defined by claim 1 in which said layer of non-iron-reactive material is surrounded by said carbon inner lining.
