Maturity
This device recovers the sensible heat in the hot air with temperature of 250 C to 450 C from a sinter cooler. It comprises mainly; a)boiler/economizer, b)pure water feed device, c)deaerator, d)steam drum, etc.
After heat exchange with sintered ore of 500 C to 700 C in the cooler, the exhaust gas is introduced to the boiler/economizer to generate steam and is recycled to the cooler.
Organisation providing the technology
The Japan Iron and Steel Federation
