PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTMENT OF GRATE COOLING FACILITY FOR COOLING LOOSE MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F27D15/02 F27D19/00 C04B7/47 F28C3/16 F26B17/26 F26B3/08 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: here is disclosed procedure for adjustment of grate cooling facility. This facility is used for cooling loose material, for example hot cement clinker according to process control. In all zones of the cooling grate volume flows (21) of cooling air and/or duration of flows presence in a corresponding zone of cooled material should meet requirements for cooling emerging in this zone of cooling. During operation of the grate cooling facility there is performed control over corresponding local volume flow (21) of cooling air and/or over corresponding local velocity of cooling grate transportation depending on corresponding height of a local loose material layer height measured in several zones and/or depending on temperature of the loose material layer, and/or on resistance to cooling air flow. This control facilitates change of corresponding local volume flow (21) and/or velocity of grate system transportation with change of one or several of measured parametres: height of the layer, temperature of the layer and resistance to flow.

EFFECT: improved processability.
