摘要:Based on similarity principle, a water model with geometrical-similar ratio 1:7 is established to study circulation flow behavior of liquid in 145 t RH vacuum refining unit. The effect of lifting gas flowrate (60 〜140 m3/h), inserting depth of snorkel (400 ~ 600 mm) and liquid height in vacuum chamber (426 ~526 mm) on circulation flow rate and mixing time of liquid is researched. Results show that with increasing lifting gas flow-rate the circulation flow rate increases in approximate linear relation while the mixing time of liquid decreases in non-linear relation; the more ideal circulation flow rate of liquid is occurred with inserting depth of snorkel 500 mm and liquid height in vacuum chamber 526 mm ; with 130 m3/h lifting gas flow-rate, 600 mm inserting depth of snorkel and 526 mm liquid height in vacuum chamber the optimum liquid circulation flow characteristics are obtained.
摘要:Based on prototype of 150 t ladle, the effect of diameter of immersed cylinder inserting in ladle (50 ~ 130 mm), inserting depth (30 ~ 150 mm) and bottom blowing gas rate (0. 03 -0.48 m3/h) on mixing time of liquid and amplitude of liquid level has been studied by using geometry similarity ratio 1 : 7 water model. Results show that with increasing immersed cylinder diameter and inserting depth, the amplitude of liquid level decreases; with increasing bottom gas blowing rate the amplitude of liquid level raises ; in condition without inserting immersed cylinder the critical gas blowing rate for non-occurring slag entrapment is 0. 09 m3/h and mixing time is 10 s; in condition of inserting immersed cylinder with diameter 130 mm and inserting depth 90 mm, the critical gas blowing rate for non-occurring slag entrapment is 0. 30 m3/h and shortest mixing time is 4 s. It is obtained by test data regression analysis that for 150 t ladle the relation between liquid mixing time U with bottom gas blowing rate Q'immersed cylinder diameter d' and inserting depth is t'=2.69 +0.017 9 d'+ 0.011 2 h'—0.425 Q'.
