    The document summarizes a case study and provides calculations to estimate the amount of false air in an ATOX 40 raw mill. Key information includes: - The mill has experienced increased spillage, decreased output, and increased vibrations, indicating reduced air flow through the nozzle ring. - A heat balance is performed using estimated air flow and other operating data to calculate heat inputs and outputs. - By setting up and solving equations for the heat balance and air flow, the analysis estimates the air flow at the mill inlet is 306,000 kg/h and the percentage of false air is 30%.

    ATOX RAW MILL - HEAT BALANCE

    GROUP WORK

    Case: You have an ATOX 40 raw mill. Over the last couple of months you have
    observed that

    - the spillage through the nozzle ring has increased.

    - the output has decreased and the specific energy consumption for the
    mill has increased.

    - vibrations has increased.

    The reason might be that the air flow through the nozzle ring (and the mil) has
    become too low.

    Based on fan power consumption and fan diagram you have estimated the air
    flow through the mill fan at 410,000 kg/h, which is approximately the designed air
    flow. Previously, this airflow used to be satisfactory. However, the false air might
    have increased, and the air flow through the nozzle ring has consequently
    decreased. One way to get an indication of the amount of false air is to establish
    a heat balance, with an air flow at the mill fan equal to the air flow determined on
    the basis of fan power.

    Figures used for heat balance:

    Feed rate, t/h 235


    % water in feed 4.0
    % water in raw meal 0.5
    Temp. at mill inlet, °C 205
    Temp. before fan, °C 80
    Feed temperature, °C 30
    Water injection, kg/h 4000
    Temp. of water, °C 30
    Mill motor, kW 1800
    Spec. heat, material, kCal/kg°C 0.21
    Spec. heat, air at mill inlet, kCal/kg°C 0.245

    Try to estimate the amount of false air (% of air at mill inlet).

    P.S.: Radiation loss from the mill can be ignored.

    ATOX RAW MILL - HEAT BALANCE

    ANSWERS TO GROUP WORK

    To be calculated:

    Air volume at mill inlet: Q, kg/h

    False from mill inlet to mill fan: f, % of Q

    Heat input:

    Hot air: Q × (205 - 80°C) × 0.245 kCal/kg°C = 30.63 × Q [kCal/h]

    Grinding heat: 0.95 × 1800 kW × 860 kCal/kWh = 1.47 × 106 [kCal/h]

    Total: 30.63 × Q + 1.47 × 106 [kCal/h]

    Heat consumption:

    Evaporation of water
    - injected: 4000 kg/h
    - from feed: 8270 kg/h
    - total: 12270 kg/h
    Heat for heating and evaporation of water:
    12270 kg/h × ((70 + 539) - (100 - 80)×0.48) = 7.35 × 106 [kCal/h]

    Heating of material:
    235000 kg/h × 0.96 × (80 - 30°C) × 0.21 kCal/kg°C =
    2.37 × 106 [Kcal/h]

    Heating of false air:


    f/100 × Q × (80 - 30°C) × 0.24 kCal/kg°C =f/100 × Q × 12 [kCal/h]

    Total: f/100 × Q × 12 + 9.73 × 106 [kCal/h]

    Heat balance:

    a) 30.63 × Q + 1.47 × 106 = f/100 × Q × 12 + 9.73 × 106

    Air balance:

    b) Q + f/100 × Q + 12270 kg/h = 410000 kg/h

    a) and b) give:

    Q = 306 t/h (220000 Nm³/h, 116 Nm³/h/kW)

    f = 30%
