Spiral plate heat exchangers are widely used in the steel industry, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Heating or cooling blast furnace gas
Principle: Blast furnace gas is a byproduct of steel production, and its temperature and humidity can affect combustion efficiency and equipment operation. Spiral plate heat exchangers utilize their efficient heat transfer performance to heat blast furnace gas to the appropriate temperature to improve combustion efficiency, or to cool it and reduce its humidity, preventing condensation during transportation and affecting gas quality.
Advantages: The channel structure of the spiral plate heat exchanger enables uniform flow of gas within the spiral channel, avoiding local overheating or overcooling, and its compact structure can save space, making it suitable for limited spaces in blast furnace gas treatment systems.
2. Heating or cooling air
Principle: In equipment such as heating furnaces and heat treatment furnaces in steel plants, it is necessary to preheat the air to a certain temperature before sending it into the furnace to improve combustion efficiency and energy utilization. Spiral plate heat exchangers can use waste heat such as flue gas to preheat air, or in some situations where cooling air is required, such as in workshop ventilation systems, to cool the air.
Advantages: It can achieve efficient heat exchange between flue gas and air, recover a large amount of waste heat from flue gas, and reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, spiral plate heat exchangers have good corrosion resistance and can adapt to flue gas environments containing certain corrosive gases.
3. Cooling high-temperature process water
Principle: Many stages in the steel production process, such as steelmaking, continuous casting, and rolling, generate a large amount of high-temperature process water. These high-temperature waters need to be cooled before they can be recycled or discharged. Spiral plate heat exchanger can be used as a cooler to transfer the heat of high-temperature process water to a cooling medium (such as air or low-temperature water), thereby cooling the process water.
Advantages: The spiral plate heat exchanger has a high heat transfer coefficient and can achieve a large amount of heat transfer in a small space, effectively reducing the temperature of process water. In addition, its characteristic of not easily scaling can reduce maintenance workload and ensure the stable operation of the cooling system.
4. Cooling lubricating oil
Principle: In mechanical equipment such as rolling mills and reducers in steel plants, lubricating oil will generate heat due to friction during cyclic use, resulting in an increase in temperature. Excessive oil temperature can affect the performance of lubricating oil, reduce the lubrication effect of equipment, and even lead to equipment failure. Spiral plate heat exchangers can be used to cool lubricating oil and keep it within a suitable temperature range.
Advantage: It can correctly control the temperature of lubricating oil, ensure good lubrication of equipment, and extend the service life of equipment. The spiral plate heat exchanger has good sealing performance, which can prevent lubricating oil leakage and ensure the safety and cleanliness of the production environment.
