The kiln is a extensive concept. There are many types, which can be classified from the following three aspects:
1. According to the heating method, it can be divided into flame kiln, resistance kiln, airflow kiln, etc.;
2. According to the use, it can be divided into ceramic kiln, glass kiln, steel smelting furnace, cement kiln, etc.;
3. According to the structure, it can be divided into vertical kiln, horizontal kiln and rotary kiln.
Second, the structure of the kiln
The structure of the kiln includes parts of the furnace head, the tail, the furnace body, the kiln door, and the flue. Inside the kiln, there are usually stoves, furnaces, heating elements and temperature control equipment.
Third, the working principle of the kiln
Inside the kiln, heating elements can generate heat through flames, currents, gas, etc., so that the items in the kiln can be heated, dry, sintering, etc. During the heating process, factors such as temperature, humidity and air flow inside the kiln will affect the quality and processing efficiency of the items. Therefore, the temperature control and air flow control of the kiln are particularly important.
Fourth, the application field of kiln
Kiln is widely used in the manufacture of ceramics, glass, steel, cement and other industries, and is one of the most important equipment in related industries. For example, ceramic kilns are used to furnish high -temperature ceramics, glass kilns to manufacture various glass products, steel smelting furnaces for production of steel and cement kilns for manufacturing cement.
