Filed: 1925-12-02
Abstract: 244,094. Selliez, V. Dec. 2, 1924, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Tunnel kilns.-The trucks of a tunnel kiln are formed with a. flue A along which the heating-gases flow as well as along the body of the tunnel. The heating-gases enter through ports b in the side walls and pass through side apertures c into the flue A, where combustion may be effected. The heating gases pass in part along the flue A and in part through apertures e into the body of the tunnel, the whole of the gases being withdrawn at the entrance end of the tunnel through side wall ports. Immediately beyond the firing- zone the flue A is stopped by plates inserted through side wall openings so that circulation of cooling-air in the flue is prevented. In the cooling-zone the roof slopes upwards, as shown in Fig. 1, to a point t at which the cooling-air is withdrawn, this air being returned to the tunnel in the firing-zone at the level of the flue A. A portion of the air may be passed to the preheating-zone through the flue T. Beyond the point t the walls and roof of the tunnel are contracted to leave only a small space between the tunnel and the goods. In a modification in which a comparatively large space is left between the tunnel and the goods, vertical projections from the side walls direct the heating-gases upwards to the roof at the beginning of the firing-zone.
