Abstract

THE SUBJECT IS DEALING ABOUT A DEEP INVESTIGATION ON THE DESIGN OF BLAST FURNACE MAIN RUNNERS. THE MAIN ITEMS WHICH CHARACTERIZE THE GLOBAL PERFORMANCE OF BLAST FURNACE MAIN RUNNER ARE ITS RELIABILITY, LIFETIME AND LOW COST OF USE. TO IMPROVE THESE ITEMS, TRB HAS USED ITS SKILLS AND EXPERTISE TO CREATE AND PROPOSE THE BEST DESIGN FOR THE DIFFERENT LAYERS COMPOSING A MAIN RUNNER. THERMAL, THERMOMECHANICAL AND FLUID NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS WERE USED BY OUR ENGINEERS TO IMPROVE THE USUAL DESIGN TOWARDS NEW CONCEPTS. IN ADDITION, THIS THEORETICAL APPROACH HAS BEEN CORRECTED OR REINFORCED THROUGH A WORLDWIDE BENCHMARKING.
