A converter is a type of steelmaking equipment used for secondary smelting of pig iron produced by blast furnace ironmaking, converting it into qualified steel. The construction and installation process of converter equipment is an important link, and the following will provide a detailed introduction to this process.

On site preparation work: Prior to the construction and installation of converter equipment, on-site preparation work is required. Firstly, it is necessary to adjust the slope of the ground and construct the foundation. Then, determine the position of the converter equipment according to the construction drawings and label it. In addition, it is necessary to build temporary facilities required for construction, such as construction platforms and safety nets, to ensure construction safety.

Dismantling old equipment: Before carrying out the construction and installation of new equipment, the old equipment needs to be dismantled first. Dismantling old equipment requires following safety regulations to avoid posing a threat to the safety of other equipment and construction personnel. After dismantling the old equipment, it is necessary to clean and dispose of the remaining materials to ensure the cleanliness of the construction site.

Installation of base and furnace body: After dismantling the old equipment, it is necessary to install the base and furnace body. Firstly, according to the design requirements, pour the foundation on the bottom plate to ensure the safety and stability of the base. Then, connect the base and furnace body, and fix them on the base with high-strength bolts. During the installation process, it is necessary to strictly follow the construction drawings and installation process requirements to ensure the accuracy and stability of the installation.

Installation of mechanical components and pipelines: After the installation of the base and furnace body is completed, it is necessary to install the mechanical components and pipelines. The mechanical components mainly include the tilting mechanism of the converter, oxygen blower, motor, etc. These mechanical components need to be installed according to the construction drawings and connected with corresponding pipelines and cables. During the installation process, attention should be paid to the position and fixing method of mechanical components to ensure their stability and normal operation.

Installation of electrical equipment: The installation of converter equipment also requires the installation of electrical equipment. Firstly, carry out cable laying, wiring, and debugging according to the construction drawings. Cable laying needs to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the circuit to avoid confusion and safety hazards. Wiring and debugging should be strictly carried out in accordance with the electrical layout diagram and on-site markings to ensure the normal operation of electrical equipment.

Connecting the cooling water system: The converter equipment needs to be cooled during operation, so the cooling water system needs to be connected during installation. The cooling water system mainly includes inlet pipes, outlet pipes, coolers, etc. When connecting the cooling water system, it is necessary to ensure the sealing of the pipeline and the stability of the flow rate to ensure that the cooling effect meets the requirements.

Debugging and trial operation: After the installation of the converter equipment is completed, debugging and trial operation are required. Debugging work includes various functional debugging and safety testing of the equipment. During the trial operation phase, it is necessary to check the operational status and performance of the equipment, and make necessary adjustments and corrections. Only after the equipment has undergone debugging and trial operation, met the design requirements, and passed the corresponding acceptance, can it be officially put into use

Safety inspection and acceptance: After the construction and installation of the converter equipment is completed, safety inspection and acceptance are required. The safety inspection mainly focuses on the inspection of various safety measures and protective measures of the equipment to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The main tasks of acceptance work
