The present application discloses a pellet flue gas circulation and waste heat utilization process and a system thereof, which relates to the technical field of flue gas treatment. The system includes a grate, a rotary kiln, an annular cooler, and ducts connecting each part. On the basis of not changing the existing process a flue gas circulation unit and intelligent control equipment are arranged additionally in the present application. The process is simple, and not only can ensure the parameter stability of the production system such as temperature, gas flow or gas pressure, but also can make full use of the low and medium temperature flue gas components and the waste heat, so as to achieve net zero waste gas discharging, energy saving and emission reduction.

A method for fitting or retrofitting a sinter cooler, which sinter cooler has a cooler grate chain with an endless chain of cooler cars, the method including, installing a lamella grate for holding sinter material and allowing air flow through the grate so that a support structure is connected to the cooler car and a plurality of lamellae are supported by and individually movable with respect to the support structure, and are disposed to allow air flow between neighbouring lamellae, where the support structure has at least one support element disposed underneath the plurality of lamellae to support the plurality of lamellae, and at least one downholder that is adapted to limit an upward motion of at least one lamella installed such that at least a portion of the downholder is disposed above the at least one lamella.

The present invention relates to a process for cooling a metal component, the process comprising the step of cooling said component in a confined space, said cooling involving cooling by means of a gas, the gas being cooled by heat exchange with a cooling surface of a heat sink inside said confined space, wherein a low frequency sound wave is provided into said confined space in order to improve heat exchange both between the gas and a cooling surface of the at least one heat sink, and between the gas and the metal component, characterised in that the cooling gas comprises at least one protective inert gas. The invention further relates to an apparatus for performing the process.

A system for conditioning stucco particulate material includes a vessel having separation chamber in communication with a holding chamber having a holding volume therein. The conditioning system includes the holding volume sufficient to condition the stucco particulate material therein and/or a control system configured to delay discharge of the stucco particulate material from the holding chamber. The system for conditioning stucco particulate material is configured to increase residence time of the stucco particulate material in the holding chamber to promote calcining conditioning therein.

A cooler for cooling clinker of a cement production plant may include an aeration grate for conveying the clinker in a conveying direction, a ventilator for generating a cooling air flow that passes the aeration grate as a cross flow, and a measuring plane disposed above the aeration grate. The measuring plane may have a temperature measuring installation for ascertaining a temperature distribution in the measuring plane. The cooler may also include an open-loop/closed-loop control installation configured in an open loop/closed loop to control a conveying rate of the clinker and/or a flow rate of the cooling air flow as a function of the ascertained temperature distribution. Further, a corresponding method can be utilized to operate a cooler for cooling clinker.

Disclosed is a tempering station for the partial heat treatment of a metal component, the station including a processing plane arranged in the tempering station, at least one nozzle, aligned to the processing plane, for discharging of a fluid flow for the cooling of at least a first sub-area of the component, and at least one nozzle box, arranged above the processing plane. The at least one nozzle box forms at least one nozzle area in which the at least one nozzle is at least partially arrangeable and/or which at least partially delimits a propagation of the fluid flow, with the at least one nozzle box being at least partially formed with a ceramic material. The tempering station permits a sufficiently reliable thermal delimitation of heat treatment measures partially acting on the component and/or a sufficiently reliable thermal separation of different heat treatment procedures partially acting on the component.

The present invention relates to an oven device for heat-treating a blank.
