Abstract:

Mainly introduces the transformation example for Tangshan, Hebei province Qian 'an Xinda iron & steel Co. LTD. Through the technical analysis and test verification of the transformation, it is shown that the energy saving effect is obvious after using the MV frequency drives system, and the operating condition of the equipment is also greatly improved.

During the process of smelting, hot molten iron and the air produce a great deal of flue gas. The smoke will pollute the environment, and it will cause harm to the workers on site. In order to reduce pollution and improve the working environment, it is necessary to add dust removal fan to the smelting furnaces.

1. Dust removal fan process

In the process of smelting in a steel plant, each smelting cycle can be divided into different time periods, in different time periods; the work of the dust removal fan will also be different. We use Hebei Tangshan Qian an Xinda iron & steel Co.LTD as example.

The converter primary dust removal system has two sets of dust removal fans, one of which is used as standby;

The secondary dust removal system has a dust removal fan.

 

The converter blowing process is as follows:

A to B is the time for adding iron and scrap, about 2 minutes;

B to C is the fan speed time, about 30 seconds, adjustable;

C to D is oxygen blowing time, about 15 minutes;

D point fan starts to decelerate, about 30 seconds, adjustable;

D to E is the sampling time for temperature measurement in the furnace, about 2 minutes;

E to F is tapping times, about 2 minutes;

F to G is slag splashing time, about 3 minutes;

The entire blowing process cycle is about 25 minutes, of which the high-speed time (C to D) is 15 minutes.

There are high requirements for dust removal during the oxygen blowing process, and the dust removal fan is required to run at high speed. However, in the process of adding iron and scrap steel, temperature measurement and sampling in the furnace, tapping, and slag splashing, the requirements for dust removal are lower, low speed is enough. According to the actual measurement, the rise and deceleration time of the dust removal fan can be combined with the calculation of the low speed operation time, which has less influence on the result.

Besides:

Annual running hours of primary dust removal fan: 7500h;

Annual running hours of secondary dust removal fan: 5000h;

Electricity price: 0.5 yuan / kWh

Before the transformation, the dust removal system mainly used a hydraulic coupler to adjust the operation speed of the dust removal fan. There were disadvantages such as poor control accuracy, narrow speed adjustment range, low efficiency, and large loss.


2.2 Speed control requirements

This project adopts two sets of medium-voltage frequency drives equipment produced by Shanghai STEP Electric Co., Ltd., ME800-0800-T10-PA for primary dust removal fan and ME800-0630-T10-PA for the secondary dust removal fan.

The dust removal fan has two main working states. Correspondingly, the drives presets two speed points. Speed point 1 corresponds to the high speed operation status of the dust removal fan, and speed point 2 corresponds to the low speed operation status of the dust removal fan. After field measurement, for the first dust removal fan: when the input frequency is 40Hz, the dust removal fan can be guaranteed to run at a high speed; when the input frequency is 25Hz, the dust removal fan can be kept at a low speed. For the secondary dust removal fan: when the input frequency is 45Hz, the dust removal fan can be guaranteed to run at a high speed; when the input frequency is 25Hz, the dust removal fan can be guaranteed to run at a low speed. In each blowing process cycle, the proportion of dust removal fan working at high speed is: 15/25 = 60%; the proportion of dust removal fan working at low speed is: 1-60% = 40%. At the same time, due to the different roles of the primary fan and the secondary fan, their actual operating conditions also differ. The details are as follows:

At the same time, the drives also provides excellent HMI.

The staff can modify relevant parameters through the HMI according to the field conditions, and adjust the running state of the dust removal fan in time to ensure the dust removal effect.


2.3 System configuration and site photos

According to the site working conditions and motor technical parameters, our company is equipped with two ME800 series medium -voltage drivess on the site after field inspection, the models are: ME800-0800-T10-PA * 1, ME800-0630-T10-PA * 1 and equipped with an automatic bypass system to ensure the safety and continuity of production.

FIG. 2 Automatic bypass cabinet


The automatic bypass system is mainly composed of three vacuum contactors: KM1, KM2, and KM3. KM2 and KM3 have a mechanical interlock function and cannot be closed at the same time to protect the drives.

● In the frequency conversion state: KM1 and KM2 are closed, KM3 is open, and the load runs in the frequency conversion state;

● In the power frequency state: KM1 is disconnected from KM2, KM3 is closed, and it runs in the load power frequency state.
