Abstract
The DTS water-cooled hood system provides a hood design that can be used on Peirce-Smith converters or similar furnace vessels to allow converter off-gas systems to operate at higher temperatures. The system, which uses only one control valve, uses a closed-circuit cooling water system for lowpumping costs and minimal opportunity for oxygen entrainment in the water. An aircooled converter hood can be replaced by a DTS water-cooled system during the rebricking shut down, meaning retrofit installation does not interfere with production.
