Abstract
Experience in the development of an experimental industrial unit of hi gh temperature blast furnace hot blast stoves and in its operation for over three years is described. The stoves have a loose packing of cor undum spheres and, although more compact than ordinary stoves, give a blast temperature of up to 1400-1500-degrees-C with a consequent coke rate reduction. Units of such stoves are recommended initially for fur naces of 1000 m3 volume, and individual stoves can also be used in com bination with conventional Cowper stoves for increasing and stabilisin g blast temperature.
