U.S. STEEL DUQUESNE WORKS<br />

HAER No. PA-115<br />

(Page 57)<br />

provided cooling water to the tuyere coolers and bosh area of<br />

Dorothy Six. Each hearth stave motor/pump assembly consists of a<br />

150 hp, 1770 rpm General Electric Custom 8,000 motor connected to<br />

a model 10 x 12 x 14 1/2 DVC Wilson Snyder pump operating at<br />

3,000 gpm. The hearth stave pump supplied cooling water to the<br />

hearth staves and the cinder notch of Dorothy Six. Stack<br />

motor/pump assembly number one consists of a 100 hp, 1770 rpm<br />

General Electric Induction motor connected to a 8 x 6 Type SH<br />

Allis-Chalmers pump operating at 1500 gpm. Stack motor/pump<br />

assembly number two consists of a 100 hp, 1775 Westinghouse motor<br />

connected to a 8 x 6 Type SH Allis-Chalmers pump operating at<br />

1500 gpm. The strainers include two Type AL 16" Elliott Twin<br />

Strainers, one 16" Hellan automatic self-cleaning strainer, and<br />

one 24" Type 7 Elliott self-cleaning strainer. Service water<br />

drawn from the Monongahela River is passed through the strainers<br />

in order to clean it of debris before it is passed into the pump<br />

suction connections.<br />

Construction of pump house: 1961.<br />

Installation of strainers and motor/pump assemblies: 1961.<br />

H. Strainer Pits and Strainers at Blast Furnaces Number One<br />

and Three: Abutting the center west inside wall of cast houses<br />

numbers one and three is a 4*-7 1/2" wide x 29 , -3" long x 9'-10"<br />

deep strainer pit. Three Type AL 14" Elliott Twin Strainers and<br />

associated water piping are located approximately 2 , -0" above the<br />

pit along the inside wall. The strainers perform the same<br />

function as described in I - G.<br />

Installation of strainers at both furnaces: 1961.<br />

I. Cooling Water Circle Pipes, Cooling Plates. Waste Water<br />

Troughs, Cinder Notch, and Tuyere Coolers at Blast Furnace<br />

Numbers One and Three: Encircling each furnace bosh is a 10"<br />

diameter pipe which supplied cooling water taken from the bosh<br />

pump discharge connection to the bosh and hearth area.<br />

Encircling each furnace stack is a 6" diameter pipe which<br />

supplied cooling water taken from the stack pump discharge<br />

connection to the stack. At the hearth and bosh area the cooling<br />

water was delivered to copper cooling plates. The approximately<br />

6" wide x l'-O" long x l'~0" deep hollowed out cooling plates are<br />

inserted into furnace shell openings all around its<br />

circumference. The cooling plates are connected in series by<br />

flexible hoses running from the 10" diameter circle pipe. Copper<br />

cooling plates inserted into shell openings around the<br />

circumference of each stack are arranged, relative to the 6"<br />

diameter circle pipe, in the same manner as the hearth and bosh<br />

system. A rectangular trough which encircles the bosh above the<br />

10" diameter circle pipe collected the waste water after it had<br />

passed through the cooling plates. The waste water passed from<br />

the trough to two 10" diameter pipe lines leading to a sewer. A
