Abstract
An attempt has been made to assess the efficiency of the
present day kilns used in this country and compare them
with the re!llllts obtained elsewhere. The firing operation
amounts to 15-25% of production cost depending upon
the type of ware produced and the firing facility. Any
improvement in this regard will amount to a national
saving. This is of great importance in yiew of the global
energy crisiiJ.
