Generating power from top pressure of blast furnaces - by directing top gas to turbines connected in tandem to electric generator

摘要

In a system for generating power with the top pressure of a series of blast furnaces, main gas channels connect each of the blast furnaces to a respective turbine. Rotor shafts of adjacent turbines are connected to one another and the turbines are aligned on an axis. A generator is connected to the rotor shafts. Generating power with the energy recovered from the gas discharged from the top of blast furnaces. There is minimised pressure loss even when the blast furnaces have varying top pressures.
