Method for controlling furnace, and analyzing device for carrying out this method
To provide a method with which it is possible to ascertain a gas concentration in a furnace rapidly, and to charge an amount of fuel and/or oxygen corresponding to the state within the furnace, and with which it is possible to reduce the device maintenance load. In order to solve the abovementioned problem, this method for analyzing components contained in flue exhaust gas of a furnace includes: a sampling step of collecting a portion of the flue exhaust gas from a flue; a dust removal step of using a centrifugal dust collecting device to separate out dust in the flue exhaust gas collected in the sampling step, to yield an analysis gas; a measuring step of measuring components in the analysis gas to obtain the concentration of carbon monoxide in the analysis gas; and an analysis gas discharging step of causing the analysis gas to be sucked by an ejector.
1. An analysis system for analyzing components contained in flue exhaust gas of a furnace, comprising a probe having a gas intake port for collecting a portion of the flue exhaust gas flowing through the flue;
a centrifugal dust collector which separates out dust in sample gas collected in the probe, to yield an analysis gas;
a measuring device for measuring components in the analysis gas to obtain the concentration of carbon monoxide in the analysis gas; and
an ejector for evacuating the analysis gas from the measuring device,
wherein the ejector is
an ejector which utilizes the flow of a driving fluid to evacuate the analysis gas,
the driving fluid is an inert gas, and
the flow rate of the driving fluid ejected from an ejection port provided inside the ejector may be at least equal to 0.01 times and at most equal to 1 times the flow rate of the analysis gas.
2. An analysis system for analyzing components contained in flue exhaust gas of a furnace, comprising a probe having a gas intake port for collecting a portion of the flue exhaust gas flowing through the flue;
a centrifugal dust collector which separates out dust in sample gas collected in the probe, to yield an analysis gas;
a measuring device for measuring components in the analysis gas to obtain the concentration of carbon monoxide in the analysis gas; and
an ejector for evacuating the analysis gas from the measuring device,
wherein the flow rate of fuel and/or an oxidizing agent introduced into the furnace is controlled on the basis of the carbon monoxide concentration obtained by the analyzing device.
