Abstract
Combustion air and fuel gas used for firing blast furnace stoves is preheated by utilizing the heat of waste gases resulting from such firing. The combustion air and fuel gas are passed through respective heat exchangers in heat exchange relationship with the waste gases, thereby preheating the combustion air and fuel gas. The combustion air, after passage thereof through the respective heat exchanger, is further preheated by an externally fired recuperator. The flue gases from the externally fired recuperator are fed to the waste gases before preheating of the combustion air by such waste gases. The external firing of the recuperator is controlled as a function of the final preheated temperature of the thus twice preheated combustion air.
