Abstract: The application of hot blast stoves in China originated in the late 1970 s. It uses the heat generated by fuel combustion to exchange heat with air,so as to generate hot air. It is mainly used in heating,steel making,cement production,agricultural and animal husbandry planting,food drying and other fields. In practical production,the common fuels of hot blast stoves mainly include gas,oil,coal,biomass and powder mixture. Biomass plays a pivotal role in China’s energy structure due to its advantages of easy materials,rich resources and low carbon content. This paper introduces the principle,advantages and disadvantages,application and other basic information of biomass hot blast stove,and provides reference for the popularization and application of this technology and the improvement of design.
