Abstract
This invention relates to a device for controlling the gas temperature in the drying chamber of a moving grate preheater for cement clinker production. The device according to the invention comprises means for feeding high temperature gas for mixing with the recycle gas from the preheater calcining chamber, and means for controlling the temperature and/or quantity of said high temperature gas. It is thus possible to control the recycle gas temperature in order to stabilize it at the most suitable value for treating the material to be dried and preheated.
Claims10
A moving grate preheater comprising a housing, said housing having wall means dividing said housing into a driving chamber and a calcining chamber, an endless grate conveyor mounted within said housing for moving material to be treated first through said drying chamber and then through said calcining chamber, means for directing hot gases through said conveyor within said calcining chamber, collector means for collecting said hot gases after passage thereof through said conveyor, duct means leading from said collector means into said drying chamber for recycling said hot gases through said conveyor, said duct means including an inlet duct connected to said housing, a blower incorporated in said duct means upstream of said inlet duct, and auxiliary means for controllably directing high temperature gases directly into said inlet duct immediately adjacent said drying chamber.
