The Air Circuit in a Rotary Kiln

The clinker cooler performs two functions: it must cool the hot clinker discharged from the kiln and supply the kiln with the necessary air for combustion. In doing so, valuable heat from the clinker is recuperated and enters the kiln as hot secondary air. The most common clinker coolers in use are: inclined reciprocating grate coolers

Clinker Production

Since then, the rotary kiln has been the main part of cement plants. It is in the rotary kiln that the basic chemical and physical reactions take place during the production of clinker. Rotary kilns are cylindrical steel tubes, slightly sloped from 2.5% to 4.5% and lined on the inside with refractory material to maintain heat.

Cement Kilns: Planetary Coolers

The coolers in practice were almost useless. Masons, using them up to the 1960s, recorded clinker outlet temperature around 1000°C, and the "quenching" of the clinker, necessary for good quality, was delayed until it fell out onto the conveyor.. A modest improvement in performance could be obtained by fitting a "van der Werp" cooler. This involved …
