Abstract

Metallurgical aggregates, which are used for metal waste melting, are equipped with lances for blowing gaseous media. These gaseous media allow especially scrap melting and intense homogenization of the resulting melt. In connection with this, the blowing systems are developed both for blowing of gaseous media itself on the bath surface or into the melt and for blowing of the gas mixture with powdered substances. When designing the blowing systems and the individual lance tips and nozzles, it is necessary to respect certain criteria, the derivation of which is based on long-term experience and acquired knowledge in this field. The submitted paper summarizes the design recommendations, including the determination of the selected design characteristics of the nozzles for blowing gaseous media on the bath surface in the metallurgical aggregate. These design characteristics help designers and engineers to design systems that meet the high demands on quality, efficiency and operational reliability.
