    Before firing a kiln from a shutdown, the gas analyzer must be calibrated and functional, sufficient air present for complete fuel combustion, and a strong heat source to ignite fuel. When firing, the operator should monitor the gas analyzer for carbon monoxide, not control temperature just by fuel adjustment, and anticipate reactions from changing induced draft fan speed or fuel rate.

    Fuel rate Control


    Before the kiln is fired for any reason i.e. long shutdown or short shutdown the following requirements should strictly be met: The gas analyzer is calibrated and working properly. Sufficient air is present to achieve complete combustion of fuel

    strong Source of heat enough to ignite the fuel is available.


    The primary air fan is running and the draft is properly set. The I.D. fan is running condition and the draft is adjusted in a way that prevent any sudden, delayed, explosive ignition of the fuel. After the lit-up the operator should: 1- Inspect the gas analyzer for CO 2- Never attempt to control the burning zone temperature by merely increasing or

    decreasing the fuel in the main burner.


    3- The kiln operator should anticipate the reactions caused by the change in I.D fan speed or the fuel rate or both.
