Kalugin shaftless hot blast stove with a small diameter pre-chamber at the top of
Blast Furnace Area the dome has become the further development of the dome combustion concept.
Gas is combusted in the ceramic burner device of “pre-chamber” type where the
Mini Blast Furnaces jet-vortex flow of gas and air is arranged in the vertical axis of the stove.
Kalugin's Shaftless Stoves
Annular headers of gas and air are arranged inside the brickwork of the KSS pre-

chamber and the latter is independently supported on the dome shell. Such a
Blast Furnace Equipments design has been incorporated for the first time in BF No.1 of Satka Iron-Melting
Works in 1992, and the above hot stove has been operating failure-free up to the

present moment.
Conventional Stoves
Numerous trials were carried out at special combustion and aerodynamic test
Energy Optimizing Furnace facilities for several versions of pre-chamber burner devices. According to the
Rolling Mill Area acquired data, the most reliable and suitable design of the pre-chamber burner
was selected from the viewpoint of technical parameters, and simplicity and
Rail Mill Area reliability of performance of the refractory lining as well.

Furthermore, a method of 3D numerical computer calculation has been developed
Request for a Proposal based on those tests, a detailed comparison of calculated and experimental
results has been made and an excellent correlation was established. At present,

calculations of all pre-chamber burner devices of Kalugin hot blast stoves is made
Our Clientele based on this 3D numerical computer calculation method.

design for
each KSS is of tailor-made engineering, as well as that of the
optimum number of nozzles, their location and angle, gas and air
velocities and the degree of jet vortex are also calculated
individually. Based on the data obtained, the patterns of gas
combustion, temperatures and flow distribution are prepared and
subsequently engineering of the refractory lining and steel shell is
carried out.
Jet vortex of gas and air in the pre-chamber of Kalugin hot blast
stove ensures an even combustion of gas and subsequent
distribution of flows of combustion products across the checker-work
surface and requires no adjustment of the ceramic burner before
commissioning. Refractory lining of most of the parts of KSS is quite
simple except that of the pre-chamber.
Design of the dome proper also promotes a longer service life at high temperature operation because the wider part of sphere above the
checker-work passes to the conical part and further to the narrow neck accomplished in the ceramic burner dome, which has a much
smaller radius and operates at relatively low temperatures. The diameter of the KSS dome having an independent support of its brickwork
on the shell, as compared with the typical hot stove, is only slightly wider, and therefore Kalugin hot stoves can be fit well into the
dimensions of existing stove units in case of their modification into a shaftless stove unit.
Cut-off valves of gas and combustion air were installed in the dome area in the first Kalugin dome combustion stove. Presently, new
arrangement and technological solutions are developed, in which all technological equipment of KSS system (hot blast valves, cut-off and
control valves of gas and air) is located either on the existing maintenance platforms at the bottom, or on new platforms in the upper part
of the shell. As a rule, all equipment is located on one side of the hot stoves system and this reduces the space for its arrangement.
Technological equipment of KSS is serviced with lifting equipment installed in the Stove House. In general, the operation process of KSS
practically does not differ from the operation of conventional hot stove system.
