Clinker Coolers
Clinker Coolers
Functions
• Hot clinker is to be cooled rapidly to secure a phase
composition that imparts adequate cementitious
properties.
• Heat exchange between clinker and air has to be
efficient to ensure proper cooling and, at the same
time, maximizing the recovery of heat to secondary
and tertiary air.
A cooler has to accomplish these tasks efficiently and
simultaneously. At the discharge end of the kiln the red hot clinker
contains around 1.0 million Btu per short ton thermal energy.
Types of Coolers
