Heat transfer rate

In stove operation heat is transfer

from the product of combustion of

gas to checker brick & heat transfer
from checker brick to cold blast.
Depends on

Temp diff.
Surface / mass ratio of checker brick.
Residence time of product of combustion
in stove.
Velocity of product of combustion
Temp difference between Dome and
stack temp
Quality of brick etc

Flame Temperature
Flame temp depends on
Calorific value of fuel gas.
Air to gas ratio or product of combustion/nm3 of
gas.
Input air and gas temp.

Heat valence
Heat input to stove during on gas period

Time or duration of on gas=t hr

Fuel Gas CV.= C Kcal/NM3
Flow rate of fuel gas.= Fg Knm3/hr

Flow of air= Fa KNM3 /hr.

Fuel and gas input temp. Ti
Heat in= Hi
Specific heat of Air and fuel is Spa and S pg

Hi =((Fa x Spa+ Fg x S pg)x Ti + C x Fg x1000))x t

Heat valence
Heat going out from stove during on
gas

Product of combustion avg flow rate = Fw KNM3/Hr

Specific heat of waste gas = Sw .
Avg temp of waste gas = Tw
Out going heat = Hw,

Hw= (Fw x Tw x Sw) x t

Heat valence
Heat Absorbed by checker bricks of
stove during on gas.
Hc = Hi-Hw

Heat delivered by stove during on

blast period

Hb =( Vb x Sb x HBT) x tb
HC = Hb

NEDO System
Purpose
To recover heat from waste product of
combustion.

Use to
Raise hot blast temperature
Fuel saving

NEDO System
Principle
There are three heat exchanger
One to recover heat from waste product of
combustion of stove.
Two heat exchanger used to deliver heat to Blast
furnace gas and combustion air.

Data
Bf gas temp raised by 100 degree centigrade
Air temp raised by 125 degree centigrad

Partition Temp
Should not go below 650 degree
centigrade

Emergency Situation
Power fail
Hazards
Gas leak
Explosion
Action
Gas valve design power to open
Hydraulic system pressure for one operation
