The document discusses the impact of various factors on heat consumption and kiln capacity in different types of kilns. Water, ash, false air, and oxygen level all influence heat consumption, with water having the greatest impact of 2.15 GJ/ton. These factors also impact the tons of clay lost per unit of the influence factor. The document also provides a formula to convert from gross to net calorific value that accounts for water generated during combustion and moisture content of the fuel.
