Clinker cooler Clause Samples

Clinker cooler. The clinker cooler was simulated as a set of three heat exchangers. The first two heat exchangers heat secondary and tertiary air to 1137 °C and 1050 °C, respectively, while the last heat exchanger cools the clinker to 115 °C. Before each heat exchanger a part of the solid was split out from the main stream and mixed with the gas in order to account for formation of dust. The Cp of the user defined clinker component was set to a constant value (1.25 kJ/kg-K) while in reality it is highly temperature dependent. The Cp value used reproduces the temperatures of the clinker cooler outlet streams in the VDZ simulation, and it is valid as a mean value as long as the inlet and outlet temperature of clinker is not changed significantly. However, if the temperature of the clinker at the inlet or outlet is changed, attention should be given to the clinker Cp. A heat loss of 387 kW was assumed.
