Increasing energy efficiency - energy concepts
The first and essential step towards CO2 neutrality must first be to increase energy efficiency, which ultimately leads to decoupling the kiln and dryer as far as possible. In order to achieve the goals, the following topics must be addressed:
Drying
- Short passage lengths = efficient drying
- Low temperature drying / open-air drying
- Delta T control
- Heat recovery from wet air in combination with a heat pump
Firing
- Targeted wheel cooling
- Improved car joint seals
- Circulation systems in the kiln
- Use of preheated combustion air
- Use of clean gas burners
- Improved insulation on walls, ceilings and cars
- Reduction of exit losses due to light cars and light kiln furniture
- Long cooling zone, long heating zone
- Reduction of air flow rate, lambda control in the firing zone
- Energy recovery from the flue gas

General
- Intelligent control and regulation of energy flows
- Avoidance of compressed air - replacement by electrical energy
- Avoidance of hydraulic systems
- Intelligent and predictive maintenance
