The slurry filtration preheater or slurry preheater is a heat exchanger installed in front of the inlet and chain of the wet metal magnesium rotary kiln. In addition to the chain type, these heat exchangers are equipped with a metal filling body to increase the contact and heat transfer area of the slurry and the gas flow when the gas flows through the chambers and the metal filling body, thereby enhancing the heat transfer effect.
First, the slurry filtration preheater or slurry preheater is a heat exchanger installed in front of the inlet and chain of the wet metal magnesium rotary kiln. In addition to the chain type, these heat exchangers are equipped with a metal filling body to increase the contact and heat transfer area of the slurry and the gas flow when the gas flows through the chambers and the metal filling body, thereby enhancing the heat transfer effect. The preheater preheats the slurry to 55-70 ° C, while reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas. Under the most favorable conditions, the temperature of the exhaust gas can be lowered to 130-150 °C. At the same time, these preheaters also play the role of filtering dust, and the dust collection rate can reach 50%.
However, when the dust concentration in the metal magnesium rotary kiln is too large, or sometimes in order to increase the yield and increase the dust concentration, the preheater is liable to be clogged. It is therefore necessary to add 2% to 3% of water in the slurry to avoid clogging, or to appropriately reduce some of the yield.
Second, lattice heat exchangers have metal and ceramic grid heat exchangers. In order to increase the heat transfer area of the dry or wet metal magnesium rotary kiln, such heat exchangers can be installed behind the chain belt (as seen from the raw material inlet). They divide the cross section of the kiln into several compartments for better heat exchange between the hot gases and the solid material. This heat exchanger has less resistance and a larger heat transfer area. The material used in metal heat exchangers is high temperature resistant nickel-chromium steel, but it is expensive.
The ceramic heat exchanger is usually made of a high-temperature resistant refractory material of 70% to 75% Al2O3. Since it can be installed at a gas temperature of 1000 to 1200 ° C in the kiln, the heat exchange efficiency in the kiln can be improved. However, ceramic heat exchangers are prone to chipping. It should be noted that various heat exchangers will increase the fluid resistance in the kiln. It is necessary to consider whether the exhaust head and power of the exhaust fan can meet the production needs, and at the same time increase the dust in the kiln. Attention should be paid to dust collection in the kiln and outside the kiln.
Third, ceramic feeder or bag-shaped brick. This device lifts the material in the kiln so that each particle of the material is directly exposed to hot gases to increase heat transfer area, accelerate heat transfer and enhance heat exchange. The test pointed out that the use of this type of feeder in the dry short metal magnesium rotary kiln can reduce the exhaust gas temperature from 600 ° C to 5500 ° C, the kiln output increased by 12%, and the heat consumption per unit clinker decreased by 20%. Metal lifters may be more suitable for this purpose due to the tendency of the ceramic spreader to break. However, due to the limitation of heat resistance, it cannot be installed in an area where the temperature of the airflow is high.
