Abstract

Apparatus for supplying diluted gaseous fuel to not more than a lower limit combustion concentration at downstream of suction type sintering machine including a hood having similar width as a circularly-moving pallet and arranged above charged layer to surround the pallet in all directions, pipes disposed at upper position of charged layer in the hood and supplying the fuel air inside the hood, baffle plates formed by arranging plate materials having dog-leg shaped cross-section in plural rows and steps at intervals in the widthwise and height directions, respectively, of the hood to make each interval formed between adjacent plate materials in widthwise direction of the hood in each steps vertically alternate; fences having a void and arranged on both sides upper ends of the hood; vortex suppressing plates formed between fences at intervals having a void ratio, 20˜80%; whereby the gaseous fuel leakage supplied to the outside is prevented.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gaseous fuel supply apparatus for a sintering machine wherein a gaseous fuel diluted to not more than the lower limit concentration of combustion is introduced into a charged layer of a sintering raw material formed on a circularly-moving pallet at a downstream of an ignition furnace in a downward suction type sintering machine to combust the gaseous fuel apart from carbonaceous material in the sintering raw material, characterized by comprising a hood having approximately the same width as the pallet and arranged above the charged layer so as to surround the pallet in all directions, gaseous fuel supply pipes disposed at an upper position of the charged layer in the hood and supplying a gaseous fuel to air in the inside of the hood, baffle plates formed by arranging plate materials having a dog-leg shaped cross section in plural rows at intervals in the widthwise direction of the hood and in plural steps at intervals in the height direction of the hood so as to make each interval formed between the adjacent plate materials in the widthwise direction of the hood in each steps vertically alternate, fences having a void and arranged on the upper ends of the both sides of the hood, and vortex suppressing plates having a void ratio of 20˜80% formed between the fences at intervals and disposed above upper ends of the baffle plates.

2. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vortex suppressing plate is a plate material having a width of 250˜1000 mm.

3. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vortex suppressing plates are vertically arranged at an interval of 500˜4000 mm in the widthwise direction of the hood.

4. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the vortex suppressing plate is a plate material having a width of 250˜1000 mm.

5. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein windbreak plates surrounding a lower part of the hood and a side wall of the pallet are arranged on the both sides of the hood.

6. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the vortex suppressing plate is a plate material having a width of 250˜1000 mm.

7. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the vortex suppressing plates are vertically arranged at an interval of 500˜4000 mm in the widthwise direction of the hood.

8. The gaseous fuel supply apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the vortex suppressing plate is a plate material having a width of 250˜1000 mm.
