Construction of a control system for the heat recovery installation from the cooling systems of shaft furnaces. Part of the heat recovered from the cooling systems of the furnaces is distributed to various parts of the plant and used for heating purposes, and some, after conversion to cold using an absorption chiller, is used for cooling purposes. Additionally, as part of the task, an evaporator for sewage treatment was installed, which is the receiver of heat and cold. The distributed control system, which includes several cabinets, is connected with almost 1 km long optical fibers. It is managed by the Siemens S7-400 controller.
