An annular nozzle for an oxygen lance, e.g. an oxygen lance for blowing steel in a converter, gives an annular hot spot on the liquid steel in the converter. When exiting the nozzle, the annular jet has disruptions that result in ambient atmosphere being sucked towards the center of the annular jet. Thus, a sub-pressure is prevented which would otherwise prevent the jet from diverging conically. In one embodiment, the nozzle can be switched during a blowing operation between forming a tight jet and forming a divergent jet. |
