    This document provides a case study on calculating the velocity in a tertiary air duct for a cement kiln. It includes information about the production rate, fuel split, oxygen levels, and other parameters. It then shows the detailed calculations to determine the minimum air required, excess air, and individual air flows. This is used to calculate the tertiary air flow and convert it to actual conditions to find the velocity in the tertiary air duct.

    3.0% @ precalciner exit (PC)
     Primary air PC: not installed
     Kiln inlet false air: 0.02 Nm3/kg cli


    Neglect fuel transport air

    How to calculate the tertiary airflow?
    Tertiary air flow (VTA):

    VTA = VAmin,PC + VExcess Air,PC - VExcess Air,Kiln - VPrimary Air,PC - VTransport Air,PC - VFalse Air,Kiln Inlet

    In this case: VTransport Air,PC = 0 Nm3/h, VPrimary Air,PC = 0 Nm3/h

     VTA = VAmin,PC + VExcess Air,PC - VExcess Air,Kiln - VFalse Air,Kiln Inlet

    Tertiary airflow calculation and conversion
    VTA = VAmin,PC + VExcess Air,PC - VExcess Air,Kiln - VFalse Air,Kiln Inlet
    = 0.50 + 0.18 - 0.08 - 0.02 = 0.58 Nm3/kg cli

    Clinker production:
    4000 tpd = 166.7 t cli/h = 46.3 kg cli/s

    Multiplication of specific tertiary air per t cli with clinker production


     VTA= 96’670 Nm3/h = 26.85 Nm3/s
