  • Dust extraction installation for blast furnace gas
    Patent number: 6610115
    Abstract: The preliminary cleaning stage for a dust extraction installation for blast furnace gas is comprised of a large-sized cyclone which comprises a vertical pressurized tank. A gas furnace gas line arriving from the blast furnace is connected to an axial delivery device situated at the upper end of the pressurized tank. The delivery device is configured such that it introduces the blast furnace gas into the pressurized tank in an axial direction. A swirl device with guide vanes is positioned below the axial delivery device and causes the blast furnace gas which is axially introduced into the pressurized tank to swirl about the axis of the pressurized tank.
