The institute VNIPIchermetenergoochistka collaborated with the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine to develop and introduce a gas-cleaning system with an ejector-type Venturi tube. The system transports and efficiently cleans flue gases by the kinetic energy of superheated steam. The low metal content of the system made it possible to make the gas-cleaning equipment and smokestack of stainless steels. The optimum hydraulic operating regime of the Venturi tube was determined for different cross-sectional areas of the de Laval nozzles and different steam consumptions at the nozzles. The low capital expenditures and low metal content make the system feasible for open-hearth furnaces under crowded conditions in existing shops.
