Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cement production apparatus having: a duct 21 in which exhaust gas drained from a lower cyclone flows upward, distributes and introduces the exhaust gas to upper cyclones; material-supplying pipes 22 for supplying cement raw material connected to both side parts of one side surface of the duct 21 below a distribution part 23 among the upper cyclones; and a supply-amount controller 26 provided on an upstream position above the material-supplying pipes 22 for controlling supply-amounts of the cement raw material to the material-supplying pipes 22 : and when H is a vertical distance between a horizontal surface P 1 passing through centers of distribution outlets 21 a of the upper cyclones and a horizontal surface P 2 passing through centers of connecting ports 22 a of the material-supplying pipes 22 , and D is a diameter of the duct 21 , a ratio H/D is set to 1.4 to 2.5.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cement production apparatus comprising: a plurality of cyclones vertically connected to each other in which exhaust gas generated in a cement kiln flows; a duct provided between two upper cyclones and a lower cyclone being arranged below the upper cyclones, the duct in which the exhaust gas drained from the lower cyclone flows upward, distributing and introducing the exhaust gas to the upper cyclones; material-supplying pipes to supply cement raw material, each of the material-supplying pipes connected to a corresponding side part of the duct below a distribution part among the upper cyclones; and a supply-amount controller provided on an upstream position above the material-supplying pipes to control supply-amounts of the cement raw material to the material-supplying pipes, wherein H is a vertical distance between a horizontal surface passing through centers of distribution outlets of the upper cyclones and a horizontal surface passing through centers of connecting ports of the material-supplying pipes, D is a diameter of the duct, and a ratio H/D is set to 1.4 to 2.5. 2. A cement production apparatus comprising: a plurality of cyclones vertically connected to each other in which exhaust gas generated in a cement kiln flows; a duct provided between two upper cyclones and lower cyclone being arranged below the upper cyclones, the duct in which the exhaust gas drained from the lower cyclone flows upward, distributing and introducing the exhaust gas to the upper cyclones; material-supplying pipes to supply cement raw material connected to vertically separated positions of a side surface of the duct below a distribution part among the upper cyclones; and a supply-amount controller provided on an upstream position above the material-supplying pipes configured to control supply amounts of the cement raw material, wherein h is a distance between centers of connecting ports of the material-supplying pipes and D is a diameter of the duct, and a ratio h/D is set to 0.4 to 1.3. 3. The cement production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between centers of the material-supplying pipes is equal to D−d where D is a diameter of the duct and d is a diameter of the material-supplying pipes. 4. The cement production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the material-supplying pipes are inclined by an angle of 20° to 50° with respect to an axis of the duct. 5. The cement production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting ports of the material-supplying pipes are flush with an inner wall surface of the duct. 6. The cement production apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the material-supplying pipes are inclined by an angle of 20° to 50° with respect to an axis of the duct. 7. The cement production apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting ports of the material-supplying pipes are flush with an inner wall surface of the duct. 8. The cement production apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the material-supplying pipes are oriented in a substantially parallel manner with one another.
