At present, molten blast furnace slag is quenched rapidly using a large amount of water to produce a glassy-granulated slag without any recovery of its much sensible heat, polluting water and atmosphere. To solve these problems, a new heat recovery system is proposed. This system consists of melting gasifier, the 2nd gasifier and boiler in order to achieve stepped energy using. The melting gasifier and the 2nd gasifier use the endothermic heat of gasification reaction instead of sensible heat to recover the energy of molten blast furnace slag. The possibility of the new heat recovery system is studied. The reactions in melting gasifier are studied using STA409PC thermal analyzer and HSC chemistry software. The economic and environmental benefits are calculated based on the heat and mass balances. The results indicate that this method is possible and better than conventional methods such as hot water or steam production. The molten BF slag acts as not only thermal media but also good catalyst. The efficiency of melting gasifier is high and without pollution. Besides, this method can bring huge economic and environmental benefits which are important to the survival and sustainable development of iron-steel enterprises.

Based on the comprehensive experimental test-bed of blast furnace slag waste heat recovery, we study the impacts which are caused by the changes of the key parameters, such as blast furnace slag discharged temperature, the speed of the granulation device, on the particle diameter distribution and sphericity, so as to master the best operating parameters of the blast furnace slag dry granulation, and provide experimental basic materials for blast furnace slag waste heat recovery. The results show that: when the discharged temperature of the blast furnace slag is controlled in 1400°C～1450°C, and the speed of the granulation device is controlled above 2000r/min, the sphericity is better, and 80% of the particle’s diameter will be 2～5mm.

Heat Recovery System

A 1 MW Direct Fuel Cell® (DFC) power plant began operation at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) in January, 2007. This plant is currently the largest fuel cell plant in the world operating on a university campus. The plant consists of four 250 kW DFC300MA™ fuel cell units purchased from FuelCell Energy, Inc., and a waste heat recovery system which produces dual heating hot water loops for campus building ventilation heating, and domestic water and swimming pool heating water for the University Student Union (USU). The waste heat recovery system was designed by CSUN’s Physical Plant Management and engineering student staff personnel to accommodate the operating conditions required by the four individual fuel cell units as well as the thermal energy needs of the campus. A Barometric Thermal Trap (BaTT) was designed to mix the four fuel cell exhaust streams prior to flowing through a two stage heat exchanger unit. The BaTT is required to maintain an appropriate exhaust back pressure at the individual fuel cell units under a variety of operating conditions and without reliance on mechanical systems for control. The two stage heat exchanger uses separate coils for recovering sensible and latent heat in the exhaust stream. The sensible heat is used for heating water for the campus’ hot water system. The latent heat represents a significant amount of energy because of the high steam content in the fuel cell exhaust, although it is available at a lower temperature. CSUN’s design is able to make effective use of the latent heat because of the need for swimming pool heating and hot water for showers in an adjacent recreational facility at the USU. Design calculations indicate that a Combined Heat and Power efficiency of 74% is possible. This paper discusses the integration of the fuel cell plant into the campus’ energy systems, and presents preliminary operational data for the performance of the heat recovery system.

The study analyzed the thermal performance of a sensible heat recovery system in an office building in Beijing area. Based on proposing the basic evaluation index of the thermal performance, the study analyzed the effect of outdoor temperature and wind speed on the heat recovery efficiency and the reduction of fresh air load. The analysis results show that, the operation effect of the sensible heat recovery device in winter is better. In winter, the sensible heat efficiency η is higher than 60%, the system has higher EER, and the fresh air load can be reduced more than 50%. While the sensible heat efficiency η is lower than 60% in most time in summer. And in a hot, humid climate, the recovery effect of sensible heat recovery device is significantly reduced.
