Abstract:In order to improve the efficiency of atomization dust reduction in the hot rolling work area,the related theories of fog and dust particles collision were studied.Taking the iron oxide scale dust produced by hot rolling as the research object,a calculation model of dust reduction efficiency based on multiple atomization parameters of droplet size,droplet velocity and liquid flow rate was established.The influence of single atomization parameter on the dust reduction efficiency was analyzed,then the atomization parameters under different gas-liquid pressure combinations were measured through experiments,and the response surface method was used to analyze the influence of multiple atomization parameters coupling on the dust reduction efficiency.The results showed that the dust reduction efficiency increased with the decrease of droplet size and the increase of liquid flow rate,and the droplet velocity had no obvious influence on it.In case of multi-factor coupling,the dust reduction efficiency could be controlled by adjusting the gas-liquid pressure combination.Combined with the analysis on the impact of high-temperature environment on the survival time of droplets,when the gas pressure was 0.3 MPa and the liquid pressure was 0.5 MPa,the dust settling effect with the particle size of 21~27 μm was the best,and dust reduction efficiency reached more than 90%.It can effectively solve the problem of dust pollution in the hot rolling workshop.
