Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing iron sinter is provided. A cooling system is arranged downstream of a furnace for cooling the iron sinter. The cooling system includes a convective cooling system for forcing air into the iron sinter and an evaporative cooling system for directing fluid into the hot sinter.
Claims10
A method for processing iron sinter comprising the steps of:
- heating the sinter;
- directing the heated sinter in a path through a plurality of cooling zones in each of which cooling fluid is directed at the heated sinter;
- sensing the temperature of the heated sinter in each cooling zone;
- and
- independently controlling the direction of cooling fluid in one or more cooling zones based on the temperature sensed in the respective cooling zone.
