Abstract
Abstract A clinker roasting plant comprising a rotary kiln having a housing and a hot head. A cooler for cooling clinker is mounted downstream of the rotary kiln. There are also provided heat-exchange tubes arranged in the zone of flow of roasted clinker from the hot end of the kiln to the place of discharge of finished clinker from the cooler. A heat insulating casing is provided around the heat-exchange tubes, the casing having at least one movable wall for connecting the inner space of the heat insulating casing with the inner space of the zone of flow of clinker.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A clinker roasting plant comprising: a rotary kiln having a housing and a hot head; a cooler for cooling clinker mounted downstream of said rotary kiln; heat-exchange tubes arranged in a zone of flow of roasted clinker from a hot end of said kiln housing to a place of discharge of finished clinker from said cooler; a heat insulating casing surrounding said heat-exchange tubes and having at least one movable wall for selectively communicating an inner space of said heat insulating casing with an inner space of said zone of flow of clinker.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A clinker roasting plant comprising: a rotary kiln having a housing and a hot head; a cooler for cooling clinker mounted downstream of said rotary kiln; heat-exchange tubes arranged in a zone of flow of roasted clinker from a hot end of said kiln housing to a place of discharge of finished clinker from said cooler; a heat insulating casing surrounding said heat-exchange tubes and having at least one movable wall for selectively communicating an inner space of said heat insulating casing with an inner space of said zone of flow of clinker.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, wherein the heat-exchange tubes are arranged on an outer surface of said hot head, and the inner space of said heat insulating casing communicates with an inner space of said hot head of the kiln when said movable wall is moved to allow communication.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 2, wherein said heat insulating casing is made as a part of the housing of said hot head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, wherein said heat-exchange tubes are arranged on an outer surface of the housing of said cooler for cooling clinker, and the inner space of said heat insulating casing communicates with an inner space of said cooler for cooling clinker when said movable wall is moved to allow communication therebetween.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 4, wherein said heat insulating casing is made as a part of the housing of said cooler for cooling clinker.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, wherein said heat-exchanger tubes are arranged on an outer surface of said hot head and said cooler for cooling clinker, and including an additional movable wall and the inner spaces of said heat insulating casing communicative with inner spaces of said hot head of the kiln and said cooler for cooling clinker when said movable walls are moved to allow communication.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, wherein said heat-exchange tubes are arranged to an inner surface of the housing of said hot head.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, including reflectors mounted to an inner surface of the housing of said hot head of the kiln to reflect radiant heat of clinker to the surface of said heat-exchange tubes.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
54 words
A clinker roasting plant according to claim 1, wherein side walls of the housing of said hot head supporting said heat-exchange tubes are arranged to extend at an angle greater than 90° relative to a front wall of the housing of said hot head to absorb radiant heat of clinker to the maximum extent.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
24 words
