Description
本発明は、高炉用送風機及び高炉用送風機の制御システムに関し、より詳しくは、送風機の前後の圧力比を検知しながら吸込弁及び放風弁の開閉を行わせることにより、サージングを防止しつつ高炉への送風を起動できる高炉用送風機及び高炉用送風機の制御システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a blast furnace blower and a control system for the blast furnace blower. More specifically, the present invention relates to a blast furnace blower and a control system for the blast furnace blower that can start blowing air to the blast furnace while preventing surging by opening and closing the suction valve and blow-off valve while detecting the pressure ratio before and after the blower.
高炉用送風機は、高炉(blast furnace)を操業するうえでの最重要設備であり、十分な信頼性が求められるエネルギー設備である。 Blast furnace blowers are the most important equipment for operating a blast furnace, and are energy equipment that requires high reliability.
特許文献1には、高炉の熱風炉切換期間中に、放風運転を行っている高炉送風制御方法が開示されている。この制御方法は、送風中の熱風炉に通風しながら燃焼中の熱風炉充圧するため、高炉への送風流量、送風圧力の変動が生ずる課題がある。 Patent Document 1 discloses a blast furnace air blast control method in which air is blown out during the blast furnace's hot stove switching period. This control method has the problem of causing fluctuations in the air blast flow rate and pressure to the blast furnace because the hot stove is pressurized during combustion while ventilating the hot stove during air blast.
特許文献2には、サージング防止を図ることを目的とした高炉用送風機の運転方法が開示されている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a method for operating a blast furnace blower with the aim of preventing surging.
ところで、高炉建設時の最初の火入れに際しては、それまで停止していた送風機を起動させて高炉の送風することになる。また、高炉は通常、1ヶ月に1回程度、停止(休風)し、そのタイミングで送風機も停止させるので、その後、停止していた送風機を起動させて高炉の送風することになる。 When a blast furnace is first lit after construction, the blowers, which had been shut off until then, are started up to ventilate the furnace. Also, blast furnaces are typically shut down (ventilation shutdown) about once a month, and the blowers are also shut down at that time, so after that, the shut-off blowers are started up again to ventilate the furnace.
送風機の起動直後は、送風機への吸込風量を調整する吸込弁が、起動位置である微開状態であり、不安定な運転状態である。そのため、送風機の起動後、速やかに(例えば、20分以内に)吸込弁を開放するとともに放風弁を閉鎖し、最低負荷運転へ移行させなければならない。放風弁は、送風機から外気に放出される風量を調整する弁である。 Immediately after starting the blower, the suction valve, which adjusts the amount of air drawn into the blower, is in its starting position, slightly open, causing the blower to operate in an unstable state. Therefore, after starting the blower, the suction valve must be opened and the blow-off valve closed promptly (for example, within 20 minutes) to transition to minimum load operation. The blow-off valve adjusts the amount of air released from the blower into the outside air.
吸込弁の開放に合わせて、送風機の前後の圧力比が一定となるように放風弁を閉鎖させるには、吸込弁が低開度の状態では、Cv値変化が大きいため、放風弁の応答が大きくなり、送風圧力のハンチング、放風弁の急速閉鎖(圧力比の急上昇や、サージングトリップ)が発生する虞がある。 When closing the blow-off valve in accordance with the opening of the suction valve so that the pressure ratio before and after the blower remains constant, if the suction valve is at a low opening, the Cv value changes significantly, causing the blow-off valve to respond more quickly, which could result in hunting of the blow-off pressure or sudden closure of the blow-off valve (a sudden rise in the pressure ratio or a surging trip).
本発明は、このような従来事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、送風機の前後の圧力比を検知しながら吸込弁及び放風弁の開閉を行わせることにより、サージングを防止しつつ高炉への送風を起動できる高炉用送風機及び高炉用送風機の制御システムを提供することを課題とする。 The present invention was made in consideration of these conventional circumstances, and aims to provide a blast furnace blower and a blast furnace blower control system that can start blowing air to a blast furnace while preventing surging by opening and closing the suction valve and blow-off valve while detecting the pressure ratio before and after the blower.

Furthermore, the blast furnace blower according to the present invention can be constructed together with a blast furnace when the blast furnace is newly constructed, or can be applied to an existing blast furnace.
図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る高炉用送風機を模式的に示す図である。 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a blast furnace blower according to an embodiment of the present invention.
高炉101には、熱風炉102により昇温させた圧縮空気が供給される。熱風炉102は、燃焼及び圧縮と、高炉101への供給とを繰り返す。 Compressed air heated by the hot stove 102 is supplied to the blast furnace 101. The hot stove 102 repeatedly burns, compresses, and supplies the air to the blast furnace 101.
実施形態に係る高炉用送風機は、高炉101の熱風炉102に送風する送風機本体1を備えている。この送風機本体1は、軸流圧縮機であり、電動機1cにより回転操作される複数の動翼及び角度調整可能な複数の静翼を備えている。 The blast furnace blower according to this embodiment includes a blower body 1 that blows air into the hot stove 102 of the blast furnace 101. This blower body 1 is an axial flow compressor and includes multiple rotor blades that are rotated by an electric motor 1c and multiple stator blades whose angles are adjustable.
複数の動翼は、図示しないが、例えば略円筒状のケーシング内で回転駆動される略円筒状のロータの外周面に立設されている。複数の静翼は、例えばケーシングの内周面に立設されている。各静翼は、図2に示す制御部21により、角度調整が可能である。制御部21では、本発明の高炉用送風機の制御システムが実行される。 The multiple rotor blades, not shown, are provided, for example, on the outer peripheral surface of a substantially cylindrical rotor that is rotated within a substantially cylindrical casing. The multiple stator vanes are provided, for example, on the inner peripheral surface of the casing. The angle of each stator vane can be adjusted by the control unit 21 shown in Figure 2. The control unit 21 executes the control system for the blast furnace blower of the present invention.
送風機本体1には、空気濾過器2を経て、送風機本体1の吸込側に配置された吸込管3から清浄された外気が吸込まれる。吸込管3には、吸込弁4が設けられている。吸込弁4は、吸込管3内を通過する吸込風量を調整する。また、吸込管3には、吸込圧力センサ5が設けられている。吸込圧力センサ5は、吸込管3内の吸込弁4と送風機本体1との間の圧力を計測し、計測値を出力する。 Clean outside air is drawn into the blower body 1 through the air filter 2 and the suction pipe 3, which is located on the suction side of the blower body 1. The suction pipe 3 is provided with an suction valve 4. The suction valve 4 adjusts the amount of suction air passing through the suction pipe 3. The suction pipe 3 is also provided with an suction pressure sensor 5. The suction pressure sensor 5 measures the pressure between the suction valve 4 in the suction pipe 3 and the blower body 1, and outputs the measured value.
送風機本体1の吐出側には、高炉101の熱風炉102に繋がる送風管6が配置されている。送風管6には、逆止弁7、チョーク防止弁8、吐出仕切弁9が順次例えば直列に設けられている。 A blower duct 6 connected to the hot stove 102 of the blast furnace 101 is arranged on the discharge side of the blower main body 1. A check valve 7, a choke prevention valve 8, and a discharge gate valve 9 are provided in series, for example, in the blower duct 6.
送風管6には、分岐管として放風管11が設けられている。放風管11は、送風管6からの分岐部12から放風サイレンサ13に至る配管である。放風サイレンサ13は、送風機本体1からの送風が放風管11を経て放出されるときの騒音を低減させる。 The blower duct 6 is provided with a branch pipe, the discharge duct 11. The discharge duct 11 is a pipe that runs from a branch point 12 from the blower duct 6 to a discharge silencer 13. The discharge silencer 13 reduces noise when the air blown from the blower main body 1 is released through the discharge duct 11.
放風管11には、主放風弁14が設けられている。主放風弁14には、副放風弁15が並列に設けられている。つまり、副放風弁15は、主放風弁14の上流位置から主放風弁14の下流位置に至るバイパス管16に設けられている。主放風弁14及び副放風弁15は、放風管11を経る放風量を調整する。主放風弁14は、放風管11を経る放風量を大幅に調整し、副放風弁15は、放風管11を経る放風量を微調整する。 A main blow-off valve 14 is provided in the blow-off duct 11. A secondary blow-off valve 15 is provided in parallel to the main blow-off valve 14. In other words, the secondary blow-off valve 15 is provided in a bypass pipe 16 that runs from a position upstream of the main blow-off valve 14 to a position downstream of the main blow-off valve 14.

送風管6には、送風圧力センサ17が設けられている。送風圧力センサ17は、送風管6内の放風管11への分岐部12より上流の圧力を計測し、計測値を出力する。 The air supply duct 6 is provided with an air supply pressure sensor 17. The air supply pressure sensor 17 measures the pressure upstream of the branch point 12 to the discharge duct 11 in the air supply duct 6 and outputs the measured value.
図2は、実施形態に係る高炉用送風機の制御部の作用を示すブロック図である。 Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the operation of the control unit of the blast furnace blower according to the embodiment.
この高炉用送風機は、図2に示すように、制御部21を備えている。制御部21は、吸込圧力センサ5及び送風圧力センサ17から各々の計測圧力が入力され、入力された各計測圧力に基づいて、送風機本体1の静翼角度1a、吸込弁4の開度4a、主放風弁14の開度14a、副放風弁15の開度15a、逆止弁7の開閉、チョーク防止弁8の開閉、吐出仕切弁9の開閉を制御する。 As shown in Figure 2, this blast furnace blower is equipped with a control unit 21. The control unit 21 receives the measured pressures from the suction pressure sensor 5 and the blowing pressure sensor 17, and controls the stator blade angle 1a of the blower main body 1, the opening degree 4a of the suction valve 4, the opening degree 14a of the main blowing valve 14, the opening degree 15a of the auxiliary blowing valve 15, the opening and closing of the check valve 7, the opening and closing of the choke prevention valve 8, and the opening and closing of the discharge gate valve 9 based on the input measured pressures.
なお、本発明に係る高炉用送風機を、既設の高炉に適用する場合には、既設の高炉に付設された既設の高炉用送風機と置換して設けることができる。
または、既設の高炉に付設された既設の高炉用送風機に対して、制御部21及び制御に必要なセンサや開閉弁を追設することによっても構成することができる。

Alternatively, the control unit 21 and sensors and on-off valves required for control can be added to an existing blast furnace blower attached to an existing blast furnace.
図3は、実施形態に係る高炉用送風機における制御内容を示すタイムチャートである。
この高炉用送風機においては、制御部21は、図3に示すように、以下の制御を実行する。
FIG. 3 is a time chart showing the control content in the blast furnace blower according to the embodiment.
In this blast furnace blower, the control unit 21 executes the following control as shown in FIG.
〔1〕起動準備及び送風機本体1の起動
送風機本体1の静翼角度1aを予め設定された起動角度(例えば、-15°)に調整し、吸込弁4の開度4aを微開(例えば、15%開)に調整し、主放風弁14の開度14a、及び副放風弁15の開度15aを全開(100%開)に調整する。送風管6の逆止弁7、チョーク防止弁8、吐出仕切弁9は全て閉じる(0%開)。
これによって、空気濾過器2を経て、放風サイレンサ13に至る送風流路が完成する。
[1] Start-up preparation and startup of the blower main body 1 The stator blade angle 1a of the blower main body 1 is adjusted to a preset startup angle (for example, -15°), the opening 4a of the suction valve 4 is adjusted to a slight opening (for example, 15% opening), and the opening 14a of the main blow-off valve 14 and the opening 15a of the auxiliary blow-off valve 15 are adjusted to full opening (100% opening). The check valve 7, anti-choke valve 8, and discharge gate valve 9 of the blower duct 6 are all closed (0% opening).
This completes the air flow path that passes through the air filter 2 and reaches the air discharge silencer 13.
送風機本体1の動翼を回転させる電動機1cを起動させ、動翼を回転させて動翼回転数1bを定格回転数(例えば、3,000rpm)とした吸込絞り運転を実行する。本実施形態においては、送風機本体1の電源は三相交流であり、電源投入は、交流電源の周期に対して同期させる同期投入を行う。 The electric motor 1c that rotates the rotor blades of the blower main body 1 is started, causing the rotor blades to rotate, and suction throttling operation is performed with the rotor blade rotation speed 1b set to the rated rotation speed (e.g., 3,000 rpm). In this embodiment, the power source for the blower main body 1 is three-phase AC, and power is turned on in synchronization with the AC power supply cycle.
〔2〕最低負荷運転への移行(1)
吸込弁4の開度4aを微開としたままで、吸込圧力センサ5の計測圧力及び送風圧力センサ17の計測圧力の比である計測圧力比が、予め設定された目標圧力比に、ランプ関数で徐々に上昇して到達するまで、圧力比PID制御により、主放風弁14の開度14aを減少させてゆく。
[2] Transition to minimum load operation (1)
While keeping the opening 4a of the suction valve 4 slightly open, the opening 14a of the main blow-off valve 14 is reduced by pressure ratio PID control until the measured pressure ratio, which is the ratio of the measured pressure of the suction pressure sensor 5 to the measured pressure of the blow-off pressure sensor 17, gradually rises in a ramp function and reaches a predetermined target pressure ratio.
〔3〕最低負荷運転への移行(2)
計測圧力比が目標圧力比に到達した後、吸込圧力センサ5の計測圧力が、予め設定された目標圧力以上となるまで、ステップ応答制御により、吸込弁4の開度4aを徐々に増大させるとともに、圧力制御により、主放風弁14の開度14aを徐々に減少させて、計測圧力比を一定に維持させる。
[3] Transition to minimum load operation (2)
After the measured pressure ratio reaches the target pressure ratio, the opening 4a of the suction valve 4 is gradually increased by step response control until the measured pressure of the suction pressure sensor 5 becomes equal to or greater than the preset target pressure, and the opening 14a of the main blow-off valve 14 is gradually decreased by pressure control, thereby maintaining the measured pressure ratio constant.
図4は、実施形態に係る高炉用送風機における吸込風量と計測圧力比との関係を示すグラフである。 Figure 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the suction air volume and the measured pressure ratio in a blast furnace blower according to an embodiment.
ここで、計測圧力比を一定に維持するとは、図4に示すように、吸込風量(Nm3/min.dry)を増大させつつ、計測圧力比(Pr)が、その吸込風量におけるサージ領域に入らないようにすることである。 Here, maintaining the measured pressure ratio constant means, as shown in Figure 4, increasing the suction air volume ( Nm3 /min. dry) while preventing the measured pressure ratio (Pr) from entering the surge region for that suction air volume.
すなわち、図4に示すように、吸込風量が0~3000Nm3/min.dryでdあるときには、計測圧力比(Pr)は、チョーク防止線からサージ緊急開放線までの間である2.5~4.5から、2.7~4.5の範囲とし、吸込風量が3000~5000Nm3/min.dryでdあるときには、計測圧力比(Pr)は、チョーク防止線からサージ緊急開放線までの間である2.7~4.5から、3.0~6.0の範囲とし、吸込風量が5000~7000Nm3/min.dryであるときには、計測圧力比(Pr)は、チョーク防止線からサージ緊急開放線までの間である3.0~6.0から、3.5~6.2の範囲となっている。このように、計測圧力比が、吸込風量が増大していくに従い、チョーク防止線、サージ緊急開放線までの間を維持するように、一定に保つことによって、人手によらず、且つ、送風機の負荷を抑えて、自動で送風開始段階に移行することができる。 That is, as shown in Figure 4, when the suction air volume is 0 to 3000 Nm3 /min.dry, the measured pressure ratio (Pr) is in the range of 2.5 to 4.5 between the choke prevention line and the surge emergency opening line, and 2.7 to 4.5, when the suction air volume is 3000 to 5000 Nm3 /min.dry, the measured pressure ratio (Pr) is in the range of 2.7 to 4.5 between the choke prevention line and the surge emergency opening line, and 3.0 to 6.0, when the suction air volume is 5000 to 7000 Nm3 /min.dry, the measured pressure ratio (Pr) is in the range of 3.0 to 6.0 between the choke prevention line and the surge emergency opening line, and 3.5 to 6.2. In this way, by keeping the measured pressure ratio constant so that it remains between the choke prevention line and the surge emergency opening line as the suction air volume increases, it is possible to automatically transition to the blowing start stage without manual intervention and with reduced load on the blower.
〔4〕送風開始
吸込弁4の開度4aが全開となり、高炉101の熱風炉102へ指定風量及び指定風圧の送風ができる状態となったときに、図3に示すように、送風管6の逆止弁7、チョーク防止弁8、吐出仕切弁9を開いて、高炉101の熱風炉102への送風を開始し、最低負荷運転を実行する。図示の例では、まず吐出仕切弁9を開放し全開になったら、逆止弁7を徐々に開放し、逆止弁7の開放開始直後に、チョーク防止弁8を開放していき、チョーク防止弁8が全開した後に、逆止弁7を全開するようにしているが、これに限定されない。
主放風弁14は、チョーク防止弁8の開放開始とほぼ同時期に閉動作を開始する。また、副放風弁15は、チョーク防止弁8が全開する直前に閉動作を開始する。この時、主放風弁14、及び副放風弁15は、圧力比PID制御により、各々の弁の閉度を調整しながら、自動的に閉動作する。また、送風機本体1の静翼角度1aを大きくする(例えば、+15°)。
[4] Start of blowing air When the opening 4a of the suction valve 4 is fully opened and it is possible to blow air at the designated air volume and designated air pressure to the hot stove 102 of the blast furnace 101, the check valve 7, choke prevention valve 8, and discharge sluice valve 9 of the blower duct 6 are opened to start blowing air to the hot stove 102 of the blast furnace 101, and minimum load operation is performed, as shown in Figure 3. In the example shown, the discharge sluice valve 9 is first opened and fully opened, and then the check valve 7 is gradually opened, and immediately after the check valve 7 starts to open, the choke prevention valve 8 is opened, and after the choke prevention valve 8 is fully opened, the check valve 7 is fully opened, but the present invention is not limited to this.
The main blow-off valve 14 starts closing at approximately the same time as the anti-choke valve 8 starts opening. Also, the auxiliary blow-off valve 15 starts closing just before the anti-choke valve 8 is fully opened. At this time, the main blow-off valve 14 and the auxiliary blow-off valve 15 automatically close while adjusting the closure degree of each valve by pressure ratio PID control. Also, the stator vane angle 1a of the blower body 1 is increased (for example, +15°).
図5は、実施形態に係る高炉用送風機における制御結果を示すタイムチャートである。 Figure 5 is a time chart showing the control results of the blast furnace blower according to the embodiment.
図5において、2点鎖線で囲まれた部分が、本発明における最低負荷運転移行の場面であり、図3のA,B,C,D点に対応する位置である。 In Figure 5, the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line is the scene of transition to minimum load operation in this invention, and corresponds to points A, B, C, and D in Figure 3.
これらの位置について、図5に基づき説明する。
図示の例において、A点は、圧力比PID制御を開始する時点であり、吸込圧力センサ5と送風圧力センサ17との計測圧力から算出された圧力比を上げ始める地点である。
These positions will be explained with reference to FIG.
In the illustrated example, point A is the time point at which pressure ratio PID control starts, and is the point at which the pressure ratio calculated from the pressures measured by the suction pressure sensor 5 and the blowing pressure sensor 17 starts to increase.
このA点からB点までの間、吸込弁開度4aを約15度で固定したまま、主放風弁開度14aを徐々に閉じていくように動作させ、計測圧力比が、設定された目標圧力比に到達するように動作させている。 Between points A and B, the suction valve opening 4a is fixed at approximately 15 degrees, while the main blow-off valve opening 14a is operated to gradually close so that the measured pressure ratio reaches the set target pressure ratio.
B点は、計測圧力比が、目標圧力比、図示の例では圧力比3.5に到達した時点であり、このB点において、主放風弁開度14aは100%の開度から、約50%の開度まで閉じられているように動作している。このB点になると、次に計測圧力比を一定に保ちつつ、吸込圧力が目標圧力になるように動作させる。 Point B is the point at which the measured pressure ratio reaches the target pressure ratio, 3.5 in the illustrated example. At this point B, the main blow-off valve opening 14a operates as if it is closed from 100% opening to approximately 50% opening. At this point B, the suction pressure is then operated to reach the target pressure while maintaining the measured pressure ratio constant.
具体的には、B点からC点までの間に、吸込弁の開度4aが、微開信号により、徐々に開く動作をすると共に、主放風弁の開度14aを、ゆっくり閉じていることがわかる。
つまり、B点からC点までの間に、目標圧力比である3.5を一定に保ちつつ、吸込弁の開度4aと主放風弁の開度14aとを制御しながら、計測された吸込圧力が、約50kPaGから、80kPaGまで上がっており、目標圧力である100kPaG以上に到達するまで、主放風弁を徐々に閉じながら、吸込弁を徐々に開くように動作させている。
Specifically, it can be seen that between point B and point C, the suction valve opening 4a is gradually opened by the slight opening signal, and the main blow-off valve opening 14a is slowly closed.
In other words, between point B and point C, while maintaining the target pressure ratio constant at 3.5, the suction valve opening 4a and the main blow-off valve opening 14a are controlled so that the measured suction pressure rises from approximately 50 kPaG to 80 kPaG, and the main blow-off valve is gradually closed while the suction valve is gradually opened until the target pressure of 100 kPaG or higher is reached.
C点になった時点で、主放風弁の開度14aは全閉状態になり、吸込弁を徐々に微開信号で徐々に開いていき、C点を経過した4時11分になると、吸込圧力が目標圧力である100kPaG以上となっていることがわかる。 At point C, the main blow-off valve 14a is fully closed, and the suction valve is gradually opened with a slight opening signal. At 4:11, after point C is passed, it can be seen that the suction pressure has reached the target pressure of 100 kPaG or higher.
吸込圧力が目標圧力に到達すると、吸込弁に開信号で、大きく開度を開けていき、D点になった段階で、吸込弁が全開になり、4時12分の段階で、最低負荷運転への移行が完了している。 When the suction pressure reaches the target pressure, an open signal is sent to the suction valve, which opens wider. At point D, the suction valve opens fully, and at 4:12, the transition to minimum load operation is complete.
つまり、本発明により、図5に示すように、計測圧力比を安定させながら、送風機本体1の電源投入後から、最低負荷運転へ自動的に移行させることに成功し、送風機の起動制御技術が確立された。図示の例では、4時00分に、送風機本体1の電源投入後、4時11分前には、吸込圧力が目標圧力に到達し、4時12分前のD点で、吸込弁の開度が全開とされ、最低負荷運転へ移行していることがわかる。 In other words, as shown in Figure 5, this invention successfully established a blower startup control technology that automatically transitions to minimum load operation after powering on the blower main unit 1 while stabilizing the measured pressure ratio. In the example shown, after powering on the blower main unit 1 at 4:00, the suction pressure reaches the target pressure just before 4:11, and at point D just before 4:12, the suction valve is fully opened, transitioning to minimum load operation.
