Coating formation on the refractory in the burning zone is

  • A.prevented by adding more gypsum to the feed
  • B.generally desirable, as it protects the brick
  • C.always a fault requiring immediate shutdown
  • D.an indication that the kiln is running too cold

Answer: B

Correct answer: generally desirable, as it protects the brick

A layer of clinker freezing onto the lining insulates the brick and takes the abrasion in its place, so a stable coating greatly extends refractory life. The operator works to keep it: too cold and it will not form, too hot and it melts away, and the loss of coating shows at once as a hot spot on the shell.
