Research on performance optimization of RH vacuum refining equipment
A reasonable performance optimization plan was proposed based on research and analysis of the problems in improving the quality of steel products in the RH vacuum refining process of a certain factory.The entire set of four stage vacuum pumps(B1,B2,S3,S4),vacuum silos,circulating gas valve stations,and steam temperature and pressure reducing devices have been optimized.The optimized effect is as follows:when the vacuum degree is 67 Pa,the vacuum pumping capacity is increased by 150 kg/h,and the average time for vacuum degree to reach 100 Pa is 2.3 minutes.The vacuum stability is improved(the rebound value of vacuum degree is below 100 Pa);The proportion of hydrogen content at the end point of molten steel less than 0.000 12%has increased by 36.40%compared to before the renovation.The online use of impregnation tubes has increased by 30 heats,and the total production of high-grade turnout rails,high-speed rails,and heavy rail series products has increased by 10.79%.
