Definitions

  • the invention refers to a process for the firing and cooling of ceramic products, particularly floor and wall tiles, in continuous tunnel kiln on a single layer car.
  • the invention also refers to a kiln car to carry out the process.
  • the product to be fired is arranged stacked in more than one layer and on cars which therefore present a notable load density and also require longer firing cycles.
  • a single layer of tiles is arranged on the car refractory surface.
  • the refractory.surface for the product to be fired is mounted at a considerable height relative to the car deck.
  • the burners are placed to the side in relation to the forward passage of the cars and mainly below the refractory surfaces of the cars on which the ceramic wares are layed.
  • a combustion chamber of large dimensions is required to obtain complete combustion, by means of solid fuel such as carbon, or liquid fuel such as gas oil or diesel oil, or gaseous fuel such as methane or the like.
  • Said known firing systems for ceramic products present various disadvantages, including e.g. that of necessitating the placement of the refractory surfaces carrying the load at a considerable distance from the car deck.
  • a second serious inconvenience of the known systems is that space existing between the surfaces carrying the lofd and the car deck, during the preheating phase, does not promote the heat exchange with the product to be fired.
  • this space constitutes a preferential route for the hot fumes, originating from the firing zone, to pass through the furnace to reach the exhaust point to the chimney, in the opposite direction to that of advancement of the cars.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to reduce the volume of space in a continuous tunnel with-single layer car to a maximum, that is, to limit as much as possible the distance between the surfaces carrying the load of material to be fired and the car deck.
  • Another object of the invention is to eliminate the necessity of supplying heat both above and below the surfaces, with resulting reduction of the height and weight of the supports of the mentioned surfaces carrying the load.
  • the described arrangements result in that the material to be fired is introduced into a furnace having preferably three zones, the first for prefiring, the second for firing and the third for cooling, and in which furnace the cars move forward with the surfaces carrying the load, realized in such a manner as to allow at least one longitudinal interspace, in the ceiling of the first zone being provided, in each longitudinal interspace, niches fitted with burners the gases coming form which are divided and deflected by means of deflectors from a fully vertical passage to two passages which are essentially horizontal and going in opposite directions; in the second zone the firing is realized by combustion gases which are fed in essentially horizontally and over the material to be fired together with the heat of the air originating form the third cooling zone; being also the distance between the ceiling in this third cooling zone and the car deck reduced to a very small amount.
  • the invention is shown in a nonlimiting embodiment in the attached drawing.
  • the continuous single layer tunnel furnace according to the invention is subdivided into two firing zones, the first F 1 for "prefiring” and the second F 2 for the "firing".
  • cars move forward, on which refractory surfaces carrying the load are realized in such a manner as to allow at least one interspace 3.
  • the combustion gases are divided by the deflector 6 into two opposite directions and are directed horizontally in such a manner as to impact with the refractory batts 2 carrying the load.
  • the "firing" section within the zone F 2 (Fig. 3) follows this first phase of preheating or preparation of the product.
  • a plurality of burners 7 which are arranged laterally and in a plane over the material to be fired. Burners 7 are situated within one or more staggered recesses 8 in the walls of the furnace.
  • the gases discharged at high velocity from said burners create a strong turbolence to complete the process of firing of the material.
  • Fig. 3 In Fig. 3 is shown an elevation 8 which includes burners 7 arranged laterally.
  • the burners 4 and 7 concur to reduce to the minimum the free cross section of the furnace both in prefiring zone F 1 and in cooling zone F 3 .
  • the inconvenience of having to place the refractory surfaces carrying the load at a great distance from the car deck, with the interposition of heavy supports of refractory material, is eliminated, which would have been unfavorable to an optimum heat exchange between the hot fumes and the material to be fired.
  • the above mentioned lowering of the refractory surface carrying the load with respect to the car deck presents particular advantages besides that provided for zone F 1 , especially for the cooling zone F 3 wherein only the quantity of air necessary to cool the product is injected into the furnace.
  • An optimum heat exchange is thus realized, with transfer of the heat from the product to the air, which passes into the firing zone at such a temperature as to not require a supplementary heat supply.
  • the remarkable lowering of the refractory surface carrying the load according to the present disclosure is possible only with the realization of a new type of kiln car, which can for example be realized with a height of only 50mm of the refractory surface carrying the load with respect to the car deck, while the minimum height for the konwn kiln cars is approximately 170mm.
  • the reduction is therefore on the order of 60%.
