Abstract
A method for operating a plant for producing cement clinker, wherein the plant comprises as plant units, in the direction of gas flow, at least one clinker cooler, at least one rotary kiln, at least one calciner, at least one heat-exchanger line including heat-exchanger cyclones, and at least one device for crushing raw meal and/or cement clinker, and also a corresponding plant for producing cement clinker. At least one plant unit is enclosed, whereby the plant unit is provided with a second covering with respect to the atmosphere, and the enclosure is subjected to process gas from a compressor.

-10. (canceled)
A method for operating a plant for producing cement clinker, wherein the plant, in a gas flow direction, has at least one clinker cooler, at least one rotary kiln, at least one calcinator, at least one heat exchanger line comprising a plurality of cyclone heat exchangers, and at least one apparatus for comminuting raw meal, cement clinker, or both, all forming a plant assembly, the method comprising:
- enclosing the plant assembly with an enclosure to provide the plant assembly with a shell with respect to an atmosphere around the plant assembly, and
- providing a process gas into the enclosure via a compressor.
The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
- regulating an outlet valve, which is connected to an inner space of the enclosure in the flow direction, with an excess pressure relative to a pressure of removed process gas,
- wherein an opening width of the outlet valve is increased as the pressure rises, and the opening width of the outlet valve is decreased as the pressure decreases.
A plant for producing cement clinker, the plant comprising, in a gas flow direction:
- at least one clinker cooler,
- at least one rotary kiln,
- at least one calcinator,
- at least one heat exchanger line, comprising a plurality of cyclone heat exchangers, and
- at least one apparatus for comminuting raw meal, cement clinker, or both,
- all forming a plant assembly,
- wherein the plant assembly comprises an enclosure formed by a shell, as a result of which the plant assembly has a shell with respect to an atmosphere around the plant assembly,
- wherein the enclosure formed by the shell is connected in terms of flow to a compressor configured to provide process gas to the enclosure.
