A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND THERMOTECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF A TOP-FIRED STOVE

The thermotechnical performance and construction of a new type top-firedstove shown in this paper are better than internal and external combustion cham-ber stoves, and therefore it may be adaptable to high top pressures and high tem-peratures blast furnaces. The stove construction may also be suitable for rebuildingthe existing internal combustion chamber stoves, as well as for designing hot blaststoves for high blast temperatures and high pressures. Reasonable approach to theconstruction and arrangement of the top-fired stoves has been suggested.
