Abstract
In a method for the preheating of cement raw meal for the production of cement-clinker, in which the cement raw meal is conveyed towards the feed side of a cement clinker kiln (1) in at least one heat exchanger-line in counter flow to hot gases, the hot gases are drawn off via at least a first heat exchanger (2) connected with the feed end of the cement clinker kiln (1) and via heat exchanger-lines (3,4) following this first heat exchanger (2) and being parallel to each other. The device for carrying out said method is characterized in that heat exchanger-lines (3,4) arranged in parallel to each other are connected to at least a first heat exchanger (2) joined to the feed end of the cement clinker kiln.

Method for preheating of cement raw meal for production of cement clinker, comprising the step of
- conveying cement raw meal towards a feed end of a cement clinker kiln (1) through four separate heat exchanger-lines in counter flow to hot gases, each of said heat exchanger-lines comprising second cyclone/fluidized bed-heat exchangers (5) connected in series,
- wherein the hot gases are drawn off
- via two first heat exchangers (2) connected to the feed end of the cement clinker kiln (1), and
- via two of the heat exchanger-lines (3, 4) following each of the two first heat exchangers (2) in a direction of flow of the hot gases, so that the four separate heat exchanger-lines (3, 4) are arranged in parallel with each other, and
- wherein the two first heat exchangers (2) have a greater volume as compared to volumes of said second heat exchangers (5).
Device for preheating of cement raw meal for production of cement clinker, comprising
- at least two first heat exchangers (2) connected to a feed end of a cement clinker kiln (1), and
- four separate heat exchanger-lines (3, 4), each of said heat exchanger-lines comprising second cyclone/fluidized bed-heat exchangers (5) connected in series, for feeding cement raw meal in counter current to hot gases drawn off through the heat exchanger-line (3, 4), wherein
- two of the heat exchanger-lines (3, 4) are connected to and follow each of the first two heat exchangers (2) in a direction of flow of the hot gases,
- said two of the heat exchanger-lines (3, 4) connected to and following each of the first two heat exchangers (2) are arranged in parallel with each other, so that said four separate heat exchanger-lines (3, 4) are arranged in parallel with each other, and
- the two first heat exchangers (2) have a greater volume as compared to volumes of said second heat exchangers (5).
