Fuel Extraction Systems
Operation principal
- An internal baffle distributes the dirty air within the housing. Dust laden air slows down as it enters the collector
- Coarser dust particles drop into the hopper & hopper disposes through Rotary Air Lock
- The air dirty passes through the bags, dust is captured and collected on the bag exterior
- Filtered clean air flows to the clean air chamber and exhausts through outlet
- Periodic compressed air pulsing removes accumulated dust from the bags with cleaning frequency and duration adjusted by solid-state timers or PLC
- Dust laden air enters the Dust collector through the hopper or casing depending upon application
Laddle Furnace
The ladle furnace is put on LF refining position as soon as tapping from electrical arc furnace is done. Executed via RC heating and argon blowing, the LF refining process possesses different procedures such as steel deoxidization, desulfurization, the adjustment of steel temperature and chemical composition. When no vacuum function is left in LF, at this initial stage, the room of vacuum device may be obligated in LF zone for future development. The ladle also possesses qualified liquid steel, which is hoisted to a ladle rotator of continuous casting machine. Then, this liquid steel taps from the base of the receiving ladle to tune dish, after that, it drops down into crystallizer to cast into bloom. The blooms are straightened and are cut in different set dimensions, after which these are sent to cooling bed through a roller table. This makes it a qualified and finished bloom.
