HOW A BLAST FURNACE WORKS

dirty gases. These gases exit the top of the blast furnace and proceed through gas cleaning equipment where particulate matter is removed from the gas and the gas is cooled. This gas has a considerable energy value so it is burned as a fuel in the "hot blast stoves" which are used to preheat the air entering the blast furnace to become "hot blast".

The Latest Blast Furnace Technology for Foundry Cupolas

Tuyeres for blast furnaces and most high-production cupolas are castings made using robust designs from high-conductivity copper. Since pure copper melts at 1984 °F, tuyeres must be water-cooled to survive in the furnace environment, where temperatures exceed 3,000 °F. Even with water cooling, tuyeres suffer from molten iron …

Blast furnace process

These hot gases rise up in the blast furnace and cool down. From a maximum of 2000 °C at the level of the hot-blast nozzles (tuyere), the temperature decreases to around 200 °C up to the throat. At this temperature, the filled charge are first dried and preheated. This zone of the blast furnace is therefore called the preheating …
