, Description:FIELD OF INVENTION:
The invention relates to learning performance of Burden Distribution system in a blast furnace. Particularly the invention relates to a device and a method measuring the performance of learning logic in Burden Distribution system.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART:
Blast furnace is a counter current reactor in which coke, metallics are charged from the top, and oxygen is blown from the bottom. Indirect reduction of metallics from the flowing gas is one of the most important factors for achieving high efficiency in the blast furnace. Gas which is injected from the bottom part of the furnace ascends taking the path of least resistance. Gas flow depends on the void fraction of the solids being charged from the top. Therefore, the radial distribution of the coke and metallics becomes important. To achieve desired symmetric distribution bell-less top is used in modern blast furnaces. This provides the ability to charge the material at the desired location and ensures symmetry. However, bell less top operates on some logic and takes input from various sensors for ensuring symmetry.
Asymmetry in gas flow in blast furnace leads to instability of operation, less utilization of fuel and less productivity. There are few patents available which address the circumferential balance in gas distribution.
A Japanese patent, Patent no JP 1297155 of year 1981 provides a methodology to detect the deviation in circumferential distribution of blast furnace by analyzing top gas from four uptakes of the blast furnace.
A Japanese patent, Patent no JP57070209 of year 1982 describes a method of determining the circumferential distribution of gas in blast furnace by using top gas temperature, gas constituents, gas flow rate, gas pressure and tapping data.
The prior art determine circumferential balance is by measuring the gas temperature and composition. Variation in the temperature and composition can be the effect of many parameters which influences it. Here in the present invention a device and methodology is developed by taking direct response from the material distribution device which is a direct way of evaluation of circumferential balance and is accurate.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The principal objective of the present invention is to provide a device for determining and controlling the circumferential balance in charging burden material inside blast furnace.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining and controlling the circumferential balance in charging burden material inside blast furnace.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
A device and method for determining and controlling the circumferential balance in charging burden material inside blast furnace according to the present invention comprises of a control system (A) for acquiring data from field devices and transmitting data to computer device and is being coupled with plurality of sensors (P1 – P5) to sense the parameters of hopper weight?
