Blast Furnace Taphole Capture Hood

What are the core components and key functions of a blast furnace taphole capture hood?

The design of a blast furnace taphole hood directly impacts flue gas capture efficiency and production safety. Its core components include a fully enclosed hood, internal air intakes, and a top movable door. The fully enclosed hood is the foundation for fume capture, creating a relatively closed space around the taphole. Combined with the internal air intakes, it efficiently collects fumes generated during tapping, opening, or blocking the taphole, achieving a capture rate of up to 95%, reducing the spread of fume into the workshop environment. The top movable door design fully considers the needs of ongoing equipment maintenance. When inspecting the opener or blasting machine, the door can be opened, ensuring smooth maintenance without being hindered by the hood's closed nature. The fully enclosed hood also provides emergency response capabilities. In the event of large-scale iron blowout in the blast furnace, the hood can temporarily trap fume, preventing it from overflowing and impacting the workshop environment. Furthermore, the hood is constructed of insulating material, which protects against molten iron splash and slag erosion, while also reducing the hood's outer surface temperature, ensuring equipment life and the safety of on-site workers.

What key factors should be considered when designing a custom blast furnace taphole capture hood?

This involves considering various factors, including specific blast furnace parameters and production conditions. Firstly, production parameters such as the blast furnace's tapping rate and frequency affect the amount and rate of flue gas generation, which in turn determine the size of the hood, the number of air intakes, and the suction power.
Secondly, the spatial layout of the site is also a key consideration. The size and installation location of the hood must be compatible with the equipment surrounding the taphole (such as the opener and blast gun) to ensure optimal flue gas capture without disrupting normal production operations.
Furthermore, material selection is crucial. Because the hood operates in a harsh environment, withstanding high temperatures, molten iron splash, and slag erosion, insulation materials that are heat-resistant, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant are essential to ensure durability and safety. The design of the top movable door must balance sealing and easy opening to ensure flexible operation during maintenance.
