Influence of fan speed on airflow distribution in a batch kiln

Abstract This study reports experimental data of airflow distribution as a function of fan speed in an industrial batch kiln. Measurements were conducted with 20 hot-film anemometers distributed throughout the load at two occasions. The main result was that airflow distribution did not change significantly as the fan speed was reduced, and no positions where the air movement stopped were found. It was also found that relatively more air ran in the bolster spaces in comparison to the adjacent packages as the air ran through the load.
