Computer Numerical Simulation and Optimization of Gravity Dust-Catcher

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gravity dust-catcher is one of wildly used dedusting mechanical equipment in industry field, which separates dust from gas flow through gravitational precipitation. The gravity dust-catcher for blast furnace gas in one steel plant is researched with computer numerical simulation in this work. Based on the flow pattern analysis and particles separation efficiency computation, an optimization scheme is proposed for the blast furnace overhaul. The dust collection efficiency is improved evidently, which has been validated in the new campaign life of the blast furnace.
