    17.kiln Air Gap

    The document discusses air gap in kiln tires and its relationship to kiln shell migration. It defines air gap as the space between the kiln shell and tire ID. A mathematical model shows that air gap allows for kiln shell expansion during hot running to prevent deformation. Migration, which is measured daily, represents the relative movement between shell and tire and can indicate the air gap level, with an allowable range of 8-15mm to avoid refractory or shell issues.

    Kiln Migration - Air gap

    • Air gap in kiln tire


    • Mathematical model
    • Need of air gap
    • Relation between air gap and
    Migration
    • Importance of migration
    • Allowable limit of migration
    Air gap in kiln tire

    • The gap measured between Kiln


    shell and tire ID at the top position
    is known as air gap.
    Mathematical model
    • Air gap to be measured at top
    center.
    Air gap
    (D-d) Kiln tire ID(D)

    Kiln shell
    OD( d)
    Need of air gap
    • As the kiln running in Hot condition
    The out side diameter will increase
    as per temperature rise.
    • There should be enough gap to
    allow the kiln shell to expand in the
    kiln tire.Other wise kiln shell will
    deform in kiln tire area because of
    restriction.
    Relation between air gap
    and Migration
    • Migration is the distance measured for
    the relative movement between kiln
    shell and the tire.
    • D = ID of Kiln tire. ‘d’ = OD
    of kiln shell at tire pad area.
    • 3.14 x D -3.14 x d = Migration 3.14(D-d)
    = Migration
    • So 3.14 x Air gap =Migration
    Importance of migration
    • During kiln running condition we
    can not measure the air gap
    directly.
    • The relation between air gap and
    migration we know.So we are
    checking migration daily to know
    the hot condition air gap.
    Allowable limit of
    migration
    • From 8mm per revolution to 15
    mm is normally advisable.
    • More migration will lead to
    refractory failure in tire area.
    • Zero migration will lead to shell
    deformation.
