A) Heating zone
→Low cooling for keeping
temperature of burden high

B) High heat load zone

→Strong cooling for keeping
inner-furnace profile and scab

Cylindrical chute
C) Hearth zone Control zone
・Rib shape for keeping scab
・Cylidrical chute for accurancy ・High cooling capacity
improvement of center feed coke ・No Weld
・Simple&Compact ・Lightness in weight

③ ⑤ ⑤ HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

・Temperature of HE-1 outlet is controlled by heat transfer medium

HS Heat Transfer Medium System flow control valne(XV-1) ,for over acid dew-point at any time.
⇒High-efficiency recovery of waste gas energy
・Additional heater enables mono-combustion of BFG.
