Burner Evolution - A new burner has been developed specifically to solve problems inherent to thick-wall kiln applications

摘要

Changes in manufacturing processes for the European ceramics industry often occur slowly, over long periods of time, and kilns with the old thick-wall design are still widely in use today. Prior to the development of new insulating methods, ceramics, brick and tile kilns were traditionally built with thick walls to conserve heat. Unfortunately, thick-wall kiln designs present problems for conventional burners. The nozzles' shogter design causes overheating to occur within the furnace wall, and the burners do not have sufficient exit velocities to allow hot gases to thoroughly penetrate the load. These conditions cause problems with temperature control and heat uniformity, leading to product spoilage from cracking or inadequate curing.
