3. Other instructions

1) When a fault occurs, the "central control panel" can keep memory, and the power can be restarted only after the fault is eliminated and the "reset" button of the intermediate frequency is pressed;

6) When a fault or emergency occurs, the power supply should be stopped according to the power-off procedure, and the power supply can be restarted after the fault is eliminated;

7) The stop time of the water pump should be determined according to the water temperature in the sensor. Generally, the water supply should be stopped about 240 minutes after the power supply is stopped, and the cooling water of the power supply can be stopped immediately;

 


Fourth, the daily use and maintenance procedures of the intermediate frequency electric furnace

01. Operate the equipment in strict accordance with the regulations. It is strictly forbidden to open the equipment when the load is open. The water-cooled cable cannot be opened, otherwise the components will be damaged. The water-cooled cable connection bolts should be tightened, and the copper bars should be checked for foreign objects.

02. When the cold furnace is fully loaded (starting with a crucible or starting after the molten steel solidifies due to a power failure), low power operation (full power 30%) until the steel is melted to 30% of the full capacity, and then gradually increase the full power until the whole furnace is melted. During the process, the furnace body is constantly flipped back and forth at a small angle at certain intervals.

03. The molten material should be grounded to ensure personal safety. The specific method is as follows:

图片0825.jpg 

Instructions: 1) During the feeding process, use a test pen to measure whether the furnace is electrified or not. If it is electrified, it is strictly forbidden to operate.

         2) The furnace shell should be grounded reliably.

         3), insert two bundles of 2mm stainless steel wires into the bottom of the furnace, one for the outer shell and one for spare.

04. Matters needing attention after furnace lining sintering:

(1) After sintering, the first 3-5 furnaces are melted, and it should be operated at 60%-70% of the rated voltage (mainly to protect the coil insulation); when the furnace is stopped for more than 5 days, it is necessary to use 1/10 of the Power on for more than 20 minutes.

(2) It is best to disable iron filings in the first furnace, and it is strictly forbidden to add sealed tubular materials and wet materials.

05. The service life of the furnace lining is related to continuous smelting or intermittent smelting. Generally speaking, the continuous smelting furnace has a long service life, while the intermittent smelting has a short service life. Therefore, the furnace block should be placed in the furnace before the furnace is shut down, which can achieve the purpose of slow cooling and prolonging the life of the furnace. Always check the lining condition.

07. The inlet water temperature is 5-35°C (water below 5°C should not be used to prevent the pipeline from freezing and cracking). Note: The inlet water temperature of the cooling system should be higher than the dew point to prevent moisture from condensing on the sensor, causing insulation breakdown of the sensor and short circuit between turns. The outlet water temperature of the intermediate frequency power supply is generally lower than 45°C, and the outlet water temperature of the sensor is lower than 55°C

08. The cooling water flow rate should be maintained at 1-1.5 m/s. Note: The water flow should be turbulent

09. The cooling water inlet pressure is 0.2MPa-0.3MPa for the frequency conversion device and 0.3MPa-0.35MPa for the furnace body

Note: If the water is stopped for more than 20 minutes during the operation of the furnace, the insulation of the sensor may be burned out. Therefore, in addition to being on duty day and night to monitor the work of the water cooling system, an emergency water tank should be set up to continue supplying water to the furnace in the event of a power outage. After the furnace is stopped, reduce the water flow and continue to pass water for more than 4 hours to ensure that the furnace lining is cooled to the allowable temperature<100>

10. Provide water as soon as possible during a power outage, otherwise steam will be generated in the coil tube and cause an explosion. Start the emergency water source, and control the water flow to 1/3 of the water volume during smelting.

11. The outer surface of the inductor coil and cooling water pipe should be blown clean with compressed air regularly.

12. For use in summer, if the cooling water temperature is too low to cause condensation droplets on the surface of the components in the cabinet, the temperature of the cooling water inlet should be increased to prevent condensation from entering the system, resulting in reduced insulation and system damage. Frequently check whether there is sediment in the reinforcement pipe in the cabinet.

13. If the furnace is shut down for a long time in winter, the cooling tower treatment method: 1. Dry the water in each water pipe with compressed air to prevent the pipes and electrical components from freezing and cracking; 2. It can also keep the water circulation uninterrupted (ie the water pump 3. Or you can inject antifreeze into the cooling water to ensure that the cooling water will not freeze at low temperatures.

14. The power distribution worker should always observe the operation of the equipment, make a careful record of the power distribution, and call an electrician for repair immediately if there is a problem. It is not allowed to change the load with electricity, pull the gate with load, and do not tilt the furnace body with load.

15. Check the working condition of the water tank regularly and irregularly, there is no blockage, no leakage, and the water temperature is normal. If there is any abnormality, stop the power transmission and check.

16. Pay attention to the various phenomena that occur in the work and the reading records of the instrument at regular intervals. The power knob is not at the zero position and the reset button cannot be pressed.

17. During operation, the yoke of the furnace body should be checked frequently to observe whether there is redness. If there is, the furnace should be stopped immediately to check the waterway of the corresponding part. If the furnace body bracket, induction coil, magnetic yoke, power supply, water cable joint and capacitor cabinet are found to be on fire during operation, the furnace should be stopped immediately and the relevant leaders should be reported.

18. Regularly check the furnace tilting device and water cooling switch, and add lubricating oil frequently. Regularly check the grounding wire connection, the grounding wire must be firmly connected.

19. All the screws in the power cabinet, the fastening bolts of the furnace body structure and the fastening bolts of the inductor coil should be fastened regularly.

20. After the furnace is shut down after get off work, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment, pay attention to the heating of each part, the resistance and capacitance of the key part of the inverter thyristor is absorbed back to the original device, etc., whether there is any phenomenon such as burnout and poor contact, and if there is any problem, it will be timely. solve. The handover needs to do a good job of site sanitation. Before leaving get off work, dehydrated compressed air should be used to carefully blow off the dust in the furnace body and electric cabinet, and handover records must be made for various unsafe factors and equipment failures.

21. Emergency shutdown and report to professionals in the following situations:

1). Severe shedding and cavities occurred in the furnace lining.

2). The intermediate frequency voltage drops and the AC current rises sharply.

3). Water temperatures generally rose sharply.

4). Leakage alarm alarm and reset several times can not be eliminated.

22. When dismantling the furnace, attention should be paid to the safety of the griddle to prevent collapse and injury. There must be someone to supervise it, and at the same time be careful not to damage the coil. .

23. During the period of starting the furnace and pouring the metal solution, stop the furnace and release it. And do not stack debris around the stove. The sundries fell and got on the induction coil, causing a short circuit.

24. When dismantling the furnace lining, care should be taken not to damage the coil cement. If there is damage and burning cracks, the damaged parts should be removed, repainted, and the furnace lining should be built after natural solidification and drying.
