Abstract

Paul Wurth has more than sixty years of experience with hot blast stove technology and with the design of internal combustion chamber stoves. The design of these stoves has been permanently improved, considering new operational and environmental requirements as well as new available technologies and experiences. These design improvements lead to stove life times of up to 30 years for the internal combustion chamber stoves. This paper will describe some of these design improvements and will illustrate their implementation in new hot blast stoves but will also describe repair methods for existing stoves.
