The Determination of Thermocouples Optimum Number in the Blast Furnace Hearth for Control of its Condition

Abstract:

The algorithm of a sensors arrangement in the blast furnace laying taking into account classification and the indications analysis of doubtful temperature sensors in 5 blast furnaces of the People's Republic of China is developed. When developing algorithm the adaptation of an arrangement of temperature-sensitive elements in a laying to the developed mathematical model of a laying heat [1, 2] for the purpose of minimization of their quantity and increase in reliability of indications at the expense of increase of density of their arrangement in the most dangerous zones of a laying and an exception of superfluous sensors in the zones being characterized by low degree of wear. The scheme of an arrangement of thermocouples for the blast furnace in volume of 5100 m³ is offered.
