熱軋加熱爐爐氛低氧控制技術開發* A Control Technology for Minimizing Oxygen Concentration Inhot Rolling * Reheating Furnace 1 2 2 3 1 2 2 3 H.H. Cheng Y.L. Hsu C.M. Liao T.S. Huang In the reheating fur nace of hot rolling m ill, ther mal energy from fuel combu stion heat s the slab via r adiation and convection . Therefore, the furnace con sumes most of the thermal energygener ated and produces lot s of carb on dioxide in the hot rolling process. The oxygen concentration in the furnace atmosphere mu st be minimizedtocurtailfuel NOx con su mpt ion ,r edu ce scales on slab ’s su r face, and lower nitrogen oxides concentration in the combustion gas. T h er e ar e t w o sou r c e s of ox y g en t h at a f fe ct t h e oxygen concentration in the furnace atmosphere. One is the combu stion air supplied to the burner and the other is the outside air infiltrating into the furnace when the furnace door opened during hot rolling operation . In this study, a control technology was developed to inhibit the air infiltration and minimize the oxygen concentration in furnace atmosphere. Th e contr ol t ech nology applies a pr edict ive m ethodth at estimates the st ate change in the control loop in f luencing combu stion loading and automatically control the furnace pressure and combustion air.
