Abstract

Moulded objects containing combustible material are fired by a process in which the moulded objects are supplied at one end of the furnace and are discharged from the other end, the required firing temperature being attained by combustion of the combustible material in the moulded objects, wherein an oxygen-containing combustion agent, e.g. air with or without added steam or carbon dioxide, is supplied at a point between the ends of the furnace, after which part of the combustion agent is passed counter-currently and the remaining part cocurrently <PICT:0959871/C1/1> <PICT:0959871/C1/2> with the direction of the moulded objects, thus forming an ignition zone and a burning-out zone. The fired objects, e.g. porous ceramics, may be cooled in a counter-current of cold air. The Figures show preheating and ignition zone I, firing zone II, burning-out zone III and cooling zone IV. Fig. 1 shows charging lock 1, line 2 through which the combustion agent is admitted and ducts 3 and 4 through which the gases are withdrawn. Fig. 2 shows aerodynamic air-lock 5 through which the combustion air is admitted. Part of this air is blown to the firing zone II via fan 6, the rest is blown via injector 7 to the firing zone together with the gases from the ignition zone 7 and steam from line 8. Gases are withdrawn from the furnace via duct 3 and individually operated exhaust valves 41.
