Plant for manufacturing cement clinker
| Details |
Inventors: Houd, Rolf D.; Knudsen, Hans B.;
Assignee: F. L. Smidth & Co. (Cresskill, NJ)
Primary Examiner: Poer; James

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Pennie and Edmonds
A plant for manufacturing cement clinker from cement raw material includes a preheater first stage separated by a wall into a first chamber and a second chamber. Only raw material is passed through the first chamber while only hot exit gases are permitted to pass through the second chamber. Thus the raw material including any volatile, combustion components are kept isolated from direct contact with the hot exit gases. A heat exchange system is provided to permit the transfer of heat from the hot exit gases in the second chamber to the raw material in the first chamber. The heat exchange system preferably includes self-contained heat pipes extending into both the first and second chambers. The heat pipes contain a fluid medium which aids in the heat transfer as a consequence of cylical changes of the fluid medium from a liquid to a vapor state. In one preferred embodiment to obtain improved heat transfer, granular heat-resistant material is placed within the second chamber and is formed into an expanded fluidized bed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An apparatus for use with a kiln for manufacturing cement clinker comprising at least one multi-stage preheater for passage of cement raw material therethrough, the raw material having volatile, combustible components, said at least one multi-stage preheater having at least one cyclone stage heated by exit gases, means provided in at least one preheater stage for separating the cement raw material from said exit gases, and means for transferring heat indirectly from said exit gases to the cement raw material in such a manner that the volatile, combustible components are expelled from the cement raw material without explosion of said volatile, combustible components.
2.
An apparatus for manufacturing cement clinker from cement raw material having volatile, combustible components, comprising a kiln provided with a clinker cooler and a multi-stage preheater for passage of the cement raw material therethrough, said preheater being heated by hot exit gases from at least one of said kiln and said clinker cooler and having at least one cyclone preheater stage, structural means provided in at least one stage of said multi-stage preheater for separating the cement raw material from said exit gases, and means for transferring heat indirectly from said exit gases to the cement raw material such that said volatile, combustible components may be expelled from the cement raw material without explosion of said volatile, combustible components.
3.
The apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said structural separating means comprises a wall member dividing at least one stage of said multi-stage preheater into first and second chambers, said first and said second chambers being configured such that only cement raw material passes through said first chamber and only said exit gases pass through said second chamber.
4.
The apparatus according to claim 3 wherein said heat transferring means comprises a plurality of heat pipes extending through said wall member into said first and said second chambers
