The invention belongs to the field of
cement firing equipment, and discloses a horizontal
cement clinker grate type particle grading cooler and a cooling method. The upper layer of the cooler is provided with a
kiln door cover; one side of the
kiln door cover is connected to a
rotary kiln and a
tertiary air
pipe; the
tertiary air
pipe communicates with a
decomposition furnace; the end, far away from the
tertiary air
pipe, of the
kiln door cover is provided with a fine particle
sedimentation chamber; the end, connected to the kiln door cover, of the
rotary kiln is provided with a
discharge slope; the bottom end of the
discharge slope is connected to a particle grading air duct, and the particle grading air duct is located on the side facing the
rotary kiln and below the kiln door cover; thebottom of the particle grading air duct is connected to a horizontal grate cooler; a plurality of air chambers are arranged at the lower end of the horizontal grate cooler; a discharging ash hopper is connected below the fine particle
sedimentation chamber; and the bottom end of the discharging ash hopper is connected to an inlet of a single-cylinder cooler through a discharging trough. By meansof the horizontal
cement clinker grate type particle grading cooler and the cooling method, cement clinker particles are graded to be cooled separately, so that the heat exchange efficiency of gas andmaterials is greatly improved, the ventilation resistance of material
layers is reduced, the amount of cooling air is reduced, the heat
recovery efficiency is improved, and the
heat consumption of afiring
system is reduced.
