Measurement of O2 Concentration in Hot Blast Stoves
| Industry | : Iron and Steel |
| Product | : Zirconia Oxgen Analyzer (ZR22/ZR402) |
Introduction
Hot Blast Stove Process
In a hot blast stove, the by-product gas produced in a coke
oven is burned to preheat the air blast for the blast furnace. To
improve the combustion efficiency and conserve energy in a
hot blast stove, it is essential to be able to control combustion
by measuring and adjusting the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gases.
The ZR22/ZR402 Direct In-Situ Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is
ideally suited for combustion control in hot blast stoves. It
utilizes a long life sensor.
Expected Benefits
| - | Improves combustion efficiency in hot blast stoves |
| - | Ensures stable, continuous oxygen measurement |
| - | Reduces operating costs |
| - | Minimizes the need for equipment replacement |
Process Overview
The temperature of the hot blast used in blast furnaces has been increasing every year and currently stands at around 1300°C. Under such circumstances efficient operation is achieved by such measures as increasing the calorie value of fuel gas, replacing the hot blast stoves more frequently, and recovering waste heat from gas. To further improve combustion efficiency and save energy, measurement of the oxygen concentration in exhaust gases is required.

Notes
| • | The detector is installed in a glove box to reduce the sample gas pressure. |
| • | When more than three detectors are installed, it is recommended that the AV550G Averaging Converter be used instead of the ZR402G converter. The AV550G accepts signals from up to eight detectors. |
