| Abstract |
| A high temperature oil fired semi-automatic down draught chamber
kiln has been designed and commissioned in the Institute.
The loading volume of the kiln is 2.0 m3
• The design criteria con·
sidered the reduction of thermal mass, heat loss and incorporation
of a recuperation system to achieve higher fuel efficiency.
The kiln is automatically operated by a microprocessor based
programmable temperature controller and a PID pressure controller.
The kiln is running successfully with almost 46% fuel
savings with respect to conventional kilns. |
