Multiple alarms and smoke exhaust problems in lime rotary kiln

The alarm system is divided into three levels: low, medium, and high. Each level is visually distinguished by background and font color—light yellow for low alarms, dark yellow for medium alarms, and red for high alarms. For instance, if a temperature reading reaches 40°C, a low alarm will be triggered, indicating that the temperature is slightly above normal and the operator should remain vigilant. If the temperature rises to 50°C, a medium alarm will activate, signaling a more serious condition that requires close attention and manual adjustment according to the alarm instructions. At 60°C, a high alarm will sound, accompanied by a buzzer, warning the operator to take immediate action. Failure to respond could lead to significant operational issues or even major accidents.

Another important aspect of rotary kiln operations is the exhaust system. When the kiln uses natural exhaust, the flue gas bypasses the dust removal process. However, due to environmental regulations, natural exhaust is often used as an emergency mode. In cases where the flue gas needs to be treated through a dust collection system or when a negative pressure operation is implemented, mechanical exhaust becomes necessary. This involves using an exhaust fan and mechanical ventilation methods. The configuration of natural chimneys for rotary kilns typically includes central, side, and top chimneys. Mechanical exhaust systems are commonly used to discharge flue gas from the periphery of the kiln’s top. These systems are relatively simple in design, reliable in operation, and can also utilize natural chimney exhaust. Flue gas from the central chimney passes through a tube buried in the preheated material layer, enhancing central ventilation and acting as a storage and sealing mechanism for the material column above. This type of exhaust is particularly suitable for kilns where the flue gas temperature is not excessively high.

Rotary kiln operations require careful monitoring, effective alarm systems, and well-designed exhaust solutions to ensure smooth and safe production processes.
