Abstract��460m2 sinter cooler was divided into many segments based on the cooling energy consumption theory, and the process of heat transfer in the sinter cooler was simulated with Fluent software. Temperature data across multiple points was obtained in cycle time, which was compared with test data to validate the correction of the mathematical model. The control variable method was used, based on the single factor, to study the process parameters such as porosity, inlet velocity of non- heat recovery zone, inlet temperature of heat recovery zone, height of sinter layer, and the result of simulation was analyzed with the cooling energy consumption theory to realize the effects of the process parameters on the cooling energy consumption of sinter cooler. The optimized parameters configuration of sinter cooler was acquired by orthogonal experiment method. The results show that: by parameter optimization, 1851. 4m3 air volume is required to cool 1t sinter from 650�� to 70��, which is reduced by 27. 6% against the actual working condition.
