What is the role of fans in the flue gas treatment process of converter steelmaking?

Do you know the role of fans in converter steelmaking flue gas treatment? There are two types of converter steelmaking flue gas treatment processes: combustion and unburned.

In the combustion method, after the flue gas exits the furnace outlet and enters the fume hood, it is mixed with sufficient air to fully combust the combustible components in the flue gas, generating a large amount of high-temperature exhaust gas. The exhaust gas is then cooled and purified, and then extracted by a fan and discharged into the atmosphere. In the unburned method, the flue gas exits the furnace outlet and enters the fume hood. Combustion is minimized, and after cooling and purification, the flue gas is extracted by a fan and sent to a recovery system for storage and utilization. If you require a fan for your system, please leave a message. We can provide you with professional fan solutions.
