Abstract: There is provided a bustle pipe arrangement of a shaft furnace, in particular for feeding hot gas into the shaft furnace such as e.g. a blast furnace, wherein the bustle pipe arrangement comprises a circumferential bustle pipe arranged along the outer casing of the shaft furnace, at a certain distance therefrom. The arrangement further comprises a plurality of first support arms connecting the bustle pipe to the outer casing of the shaft furnace on a first level; and a plurality of second support arms connecting the bustle pipe to the outer casing of the shaft furnace on a second level, the first level being separate from the second level. The first and second support arms are configured to support the circumferential bustle pipe. First blow channels are arranged through the first support arms for fluidly connecting the bustle pipe to the interior of the shaft furnace.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a bustle pipe arrangement (10) of a shaft furnace, in particular for feeding hot gas into the shaft furnace such as e.g. a blast furnace, wherein the bustle pipe arrangement (10) comprises a circumferential bustle pipe (12) arranged along the outer casing (14) of the shaft furnace, at a certain distance therefrom. The arrangement (10) further comprises a plurality of first support arms (22) connecting the bustle pipe (12) to the outer casing (14) of the shaft furnace on a first level; and a plurality of second support arms (24) connecting the bustle pipe (12) to the outer casing (14) of the shaft furnace on a second level, the first level being separate from the second level. The first and second support arms (22, 24) are configured to support the circumferential bustle pipe (12). First blow channels (26) are arranged through the first support arms (22) for fluidly connecting the bustle pipe (12) to the interior of the shaft furnace.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microporous carbon-bound molded SiC body with granular SiC, secondarily formed SiC and a secondarily formed silicon compound, for use as inwall brick for lining a blast furnace as well as for use as susceptor for heating ceramic, electrically non-conductive molded bodies, inorganic melts, glasses and slags.

Abstract: A ceramic burner is provided, particularly for use in a hot-blast oven, with a generally cylindrical wall defining a central burner duct and a housing extending around and spaced from the generally cylindrical wall to define an outer annular duct disposed coaxial to the central burner duct. The generally cylindrical wall includes an inner peripheral surface extending outwardly from a central burner duct to define a burner mouth. First and second ring nozzles are provided having openings extending from the outer annular duct and open at the burner mouth. Nozzle inserts are provided for insertion into the openings of the first and second ring nozzles so as to vary the cross-sectional area defined by the openings of the first and second ring nozzles. Additionally, injector grids are provided for insertion into the openings of the first and second ring nozzles so as to divide each of the openings into a plurality of smaller openings.

Abstract: A ceramic burner for the combustion chamber of air heaters and the like has a mixing body composed of layers of shaped ceramic bricks, the shaped bricks adjoin each other with radial flanks and engage and mutually interlock with one another by knobs or protuberances and corresponding recesses. The layers of shaped bricks are held together vertically by a ceramic bolding bar. In assembly, the mixing body has a mushroom shape wherein the upper layer shaped bricks have a larger radius than the lower layers.

Abstract: A burner includes a central burner duct for passing combustion gas therethrough and an outer annular duct for the passage of combustion air and coaxial to the central burner duct. The ducts open or join at an opening area, upstream of which are one or two areas where the combustion gas and air are combined or brought together and mixed. A disk-shaped mixing element is positioned within the opening area centrally thereof and downstream of the first combination area and adjacent the second combination area. The mixing element has extending therethrough substantially in the direction of flow, a ring of separate passages.

Abstract: A shaft casing has a funnel-shaped widened upper portion connected to a cupola casing. Between the widened portion and a refractory shaft lining is a supporting frame having a platform on which a cupola lining rests. The frame is connected to the lower end of the widened portion.
