  • Method and apparatus for the energy-efficient operation of secondary dust removal systems
    Patent number: 10712753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control method for a secondary dust removal system in which a pipe network connects an induced draft fan to at least two suction points. The pipe network comprises a controllable exhaust air flap for each suction point, the position of said flap influencing the volumetric flow rate at the suction point. A mathematical model of the pipe network allows the method to energy-efficiently control the exhaust air flaps and the induced draft fan.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling the pressure in the exhaust gas duct of a converter
    Publication number: 20170335417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling the pressure in the exhaust gas duct of a converter in a steel mill using a pressure control loop. To optimize the defined pressure setpoint for the pressure control loop so as to prevent excessive amounts of outside air from being drawn in via the converter mouth, the pressure setpoint is determined according to the invention by adapting a raw value based on the extent to which smoke or flames is/are formed at the mouth (120) of the converter (100).
