8th International Congress on Science and Technology of Ironmaking - ICSTI 2018

Since 21 century, the application of copper cooling stave has been an important technical measure to prolong the campaign life of modern blast furnace. Combined with the application of blast furnace copper cooling stave at Shougang Qian’an steel plant, the optimum design of copper cooling stave heat transfer research and structure parameters are discussed. The heat transfer parameters, structure design and installation method of the copper cooling stave are introduced in this paper. The blast furnace engineering design and over 13 years operating practice of the copper cooling stave for No. 1 blast furnace at Shougang Qian’an steel plant are expounded.
