What Is Cyclone Preheater?
Cyclone preheater, also known as suspension preheater, is the main cement equipment commonly used in the new dry process cement production line. It is the main gas-solid reaction unit of the cement raw meal pre-decomposition system, which makes full use of the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the kiln tail and the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion at the bottom of the decomposition furnace to heat raw materials in a suspended way. It replaces the material preheating process and partial calcium carbonate decomposition process in the kiln, making the raw material powder fully contact with the hot air. The fast heat transfer speed and high efficiency of the cyclone preheater are beneficial to improve the thermal efficiency and clinker output of the calcining system. Meanwhile, it has less moving parts, less auxiliary equipment, simple maintenance, small space occupation, and its existence shortens the length of cement rotary kiln, the investment cost is generally low.
How Does Cyclone Preheater Work?
Our cyclone preheating system mainly consists of a feeding system, preheater, pushing device, hydraulic system, precalciner, and frame. According to the number of cyclones, the preheater can be divided into different stages, generally 2-6 stages. The higher the stage, the more efficient the preheater is. While each stage increases the pressure drop across which the kiln fan must work.
Each stage of the cyclone preheater is composed of one riser duct and one cyclone. Generally, the topmost cyclone is designed into a double cylinder to reduce the tower height.
- During operation, raw meal powder will first enter the riser duct through the side feeding port, disperse and suspend in the hot air blowing from the bottom of the riser duct, and conduct heat exchange with it immediately in a very fast heat exchange rate.
- After that, the airflow will carry the material in a tangential direction into the cyclone for rotational motion. Then the cooled gas will pass to the next stage up and the raw meal will enter the next stage through the lower valve. Because of the extremely fast heat exchange rate, 80% of the heat exchange is done in the riser duct, and only 20% is in the cyclone.
- After multiple repeated heat exchange, the raw meal will finally finish the partial decomposition of calcium carbonate and enter the precalciner and cement kiln for calcination.
