The Online Monitoring System for New Trends in Submerged Arc Furnace Technology
Why carry out submerged arc furnace inspection?
The submerged arc furnace body is in a high-temperature state due to long-term work, and the internal furnace lining is made of refractory materials that can resist high temperatures and chemical erosion.
The main function of the furnace lining is to form the working space, reduce heat dissipation losses, and protect the metal structural parts from thermal stress and chemical attack.
The quality of refractory materials not only determines the efficiency of the production process but also plays a vital role in the safety of submerged arc furnaces and operators.
Therefore, in furnace smelting, the temperature monitoring of the furnace body surface has always been a difficult point that needs to be focused on and continuously improved.
Because once the refractory material cracks or falls off, the high-temperature molten iron in the furnace will leak directly to the water cooling system, insulation system, and furnace wall along the cracks or falling off parts, which will seriously cause the entire blast furnace ore heat to be scrapped and even personal safety.
Therefore, our company has developed a set of an online monitoring system for submerged arc furnaces, which can detect the temperature in the furnace and furnace wall to ensure the safe production of smelting.
