Department ofChemical Engineering, Shenyang Institute of Chemical Technology, Shenyang 110141, Liaoning, China)Abstract: Through thermal test, cold state experiment, analysis and simulation of thermal process, the gas flow ditribution in pelletizing shaft furnace (PSF)was discussed. The results show that there are five flowing trends; a-mong them, the downward roasting gas and the upward cooling gas are the most unsteady, which influence flow distribution greatly, Among the operating parameters, the ratio of inflow is a key factor affecting the flow distribution.The roasting and cooling gases will entirely flow into the roasting zone and internal vertical air channels (IVAC),re-spectively, if the ratio of inflow is critical. From such a critical operating condition increasing roasting gas flow or de-creasing cooling gas flow, the roasting gas starts flowing downwards so as to enter the inside of IvAC; the greaterthe ratio of inflow, the larger the downward flowrate, Among constructional parameters, the width of roasting zoneb, width of ivac b, and width of cooling zone b3, and the height of roasting zone h, height of soakinheight of cooling zone h are the main factors affecting flow distribution. In case the ratio of b /h, or h3/h2, or h1/hzincreased, the upward cooling gas tends to decrease while therd roasting gas tends to increase with a gradual decrease in the ratio of inflowKey words: pellet; shaft furnace; fixed bed; packed bed gas flowPelletizing shaft furnace(PSF)with internal verti- er, and the heat exchange between the pellets andtional pellet roasting equipment in China.
