At the .-;presentqtime; itxisrcommon practice to cool portions of rotary kilnsby spraying them .with water.v supplied by a pumpan'ountednear the. kiln. This methodof' cooling is objection- :a'ble; because it is ineflicientandmeans must be .proyidedior collecting the watensprayedqonthe kiln and for carrying oil the vapor. .A'lso the surfaces on which the water issprayed llarelsub- 'ject to corrosion.
The present invention is directed to the provision of a drum structure which includes a section requiring cooling, and means for cooling the section efficiently and without loss of the cooling fluid. According to the invention, the section of the drum to be cooled is jacketed and cooling fluid is circulated through the jacket by means of a motor driven pump mounted on the outside of the drum. The fluid, which has passed through the jacket of the section is then circulated through a cooler, which may take the form of a coil and may dip into a cooling bath as the drum rotates. With such a construction, all parts of the system through which the fluid circulates are mounted on the drum to move therewith, so that it is not necessary to provide couplings between stationary and moving parts. The cooling system preferably includes a pressure gauge and a safety valve, so that damage resulting from the development of abnormal pressure may be avoided. Also, the system includes means for permitting expansion of the cooling fluid as it becomes heated.
For a better understanding of the invention reference may be made to the accompanying drawing, in which the single figure discloses an embodiment of the invention in the form of a, rotary kiln,,having a cooled section at the discharge end.
The kiln installation disclosed in the drawing 2. includes-a metal shell l of conventional construe 'tion and having the usual ceramic lining; "The she'll-is provided with a plurality of tires 2, -w hich "run on rollers or slide *shoes 3 mounted on'a base 4, and the shell is driven by any suitablemeans, 'suchas a girth gear meshing with a di'iving pin- The" ring section 5 of the kiln at the discharge end becomes highly heated in. operation;;and;- in order to protect this section, -it"is 'jacketed and 'a coolingfluid, indicated at 6 is passed through 'the -interior thereof. The cooling fluid is-supp'lieii to'the interior of "the jacketby a pump driven by a motor 8-; the pumpand motorbeingm'ounted on the outer surface of theshell'; C'urrentis' supplied to the motor throughrsliprings 91mcircling the shell and carried by an insulating mounting; Brushes I'D mounted 'at any 1 suitable point adjacent the-kiln bear upon-the rings and are-connected through lines ilto a source' -o'f power. The terminals of the motor areconnect ed'to therings at! 2' by lines l3'.
Thecool-ing fluid leaves the jacket of "ring 5 through'apipe ["4 containing a 'safetyyalve li,
and is cooledby passage-"through acoil f6, which encircles the-"drum and isheld spaced'therefrom on supports IT. The coil is connected by a pipe [8 to an expansion tank I9, from which the pipe 20 leads to the intake of the pump. A pressure gauge 2! is mounted in pipe 20 to indicate the pressure of the fluid in the system.
The travel of the cooling fluid through the coil l6 lowers the temperature thereof but, if desired, the fluid may be further cooled by causing the coil to pass through a cooling bath as the kiln rotates. For this purpose, a tank 22 is mounted on base 4 beneath the kiln, in such position that the coil I6 enters the tank. Coolin fluid 23 is then circulated through the tank during the operation of the kiln.
With the drum structure described, the outlet ring 5 may be readily maintained within desired temperature limits by continuous circulation of the cooling fluid therethrough and through the cooler. The cooler may be mounted at any convenient place along the kiln and is preferably disposed at a distance from the hot zone thereof. During the rotation of the kiln, the pump operates continuously and heat is abstracted from the coolin fluid either by radiation from the coils of the cooler or by causing the coils to dip within the cooling bath in tank 22. The safety valve prevents the development of excess pressure in the cooling system, resulting, for example, from failure of the pump motor, and the pressure gauge may, if desired, be of the type, which includes alarm means to warn the attendant of the development of undesirable pressure.
