Introduction
To detect air leaks, an oxygen analyzer is used. The ZR22/ZR802 Direct In-Situ Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer has been well received due to its good response speed, stability, and maintainability. It has been confirmed that the ZR22/ZR802 can be used in DL type sintering furnaces under harsh conditions that include large quantities of dust, high humidity, and a pressure of approximately −5 kPa.
In sintering furnaces, periodic equipment maintenance has proven to be the most effective way to prevent air leaks. While cost reduction is a concern, energy loss from air leaks is also an issue. Air leak detection is performed so that equipment can be repaired in a timely manner or some other appropriate measure be taken.
Expected Benefits
- Saves energy and improves the efficiency of sintering furnaces, thereby maintaining high quality
- Ensures stable air leak detection
- Reduces operating costs
Process Overview
A sintering furnace mixes powdered ore with auxiliary materials such as powdered coke and sinters them to make lump ore, which is used as a raw material in blast furnaces. Since modern blast furnaces are large and require sophisticated and efficient operation, stringent control of the quality (lump size) of the sintered ore is essential. Air leakage detection is of paramount importance not only because it saves energy but also because it ensures the proper operation that produces high quality sintered ore through proper operation.

Notes
- Since the sample gas contains large quantities of sintered powder, a probe protector should be used to protect the detector.
- If the sample gas contains CO, compensation may be required. Contact Yokogawa.
- The detector should be installed so that the probe head does not point upstream into the gas flow. It is best to mount the detector vertically with the probe tip pointing downward. If necessary, it can be installed at any angle between 0°C and 90°C with respect to the vertical
