Indirect fired rotary kilns are an effective method of processing materials, but sometimes it is necessary to take additional measures to ensure that the rotary kiln is processing efficiently. Indirect fired rotary kilns create heat transfer by conduction through the shell of the rotary kiln, rather than by means of a hot gas stream. Because Read More…
The specific heat of a material is another central factor in the design of a rotary kiln. Specific heat is how resistant a material is to heating. By definition, it is how much energy it takes to raise 1 gram of material 1 degree Celsius. The specific heat of water is very high, meaning it Read More…
