1.0 General notes


The primary objective of the present manual is to provide guidelines for startup,
normal operation and stopping of the clinker cooler.
The directions, outlined in the manual, are basically of general character, since
many relevant factors relate to specific or local conditions. Therefore, a clear and
adequate description hereof cannot be provided in an instruction manual.
This manual is intended for introducing the operator to the cross-bar clinker cooler
system. It should also help the operator when he has to make decisions in a given
operating situation.
In this manual it is presumed that the panel equipment has been installed and
tested and that the equipment is operational to its full extent.

2.0 Construction and operating principle


2.1 Design specifications

Design specifications

Cooler type CB 10x40

Grate area 67.8 m

Operating rate 3000 t/d

Grate load 44.2 t/d/m

Total fan design air flow 2.0 Nm air/kg clinker

Number of cooler fans 6

Cooler inclination 0

Clinker outlet temperature 65 C above ambient

The cooler nomenclature, in the table above, describes the number of grate plates
(width x length) that the cooler consists of and includes the inlet section.
2.2 Operating principle
The clinker leave the kiln at around 1450 C and fall down onto the cooler inlet
zone, after which they are transported slowly down through the cooler. While being
transported through the cooler the clinker are constantly exposed to a cooling air
stream from below with the purpose of cooling down the clinker as well as
recuperating heat back to the kiln system.
The cooling air is provided by the fans installed for the cooler. When the cooling air
passes up through the clinker bed, it is heated by the clinker and for the first part
of the cooler the heated air is drawn back into the kiln system and used as
combustion air. Approximately 45 % of the total cooling air is returned back to the
kiln system and recuperates approximately 75 % of the clinker heat back to the kiln
system. The remaining air is extracted as excess air from the cooler.
The excess air extracted from the outlet end of the cooler and is dedusted in the
cooler excess air filter. The clinker dust from the cooler filter is transported to the
clinker conveyor.
At the outlet of the cooler a clinker crusher is installed for breaking the lumps larger
than ~25-30 mm
2.3 Construction principle
The grate systems for the CrossBar cooler is comprised of:
Cooler inlet section
Cross-bar sections
The air from the cooler fans is distributed throughout the cooler with each fan
supplying air to its own air compartment.
2.3.1 Cooler inlet
The inlet grate area is made up by casted grate plates. The grates are placed in a
sloped angle to promote clinker flow. The air flows out horizontal from the grates

though a number of aeration holes. The grates have smooth surfaces which
together with the forward facing air slots promotes the flow of clinker during
operation. Blast air is directed through the grates and is channeled out through the
grates horizontal air sloths.
Air blasters are also installed in the cooler inlet wall. There are a series of air
blaster channels (ABC). The selection of ABCs can be changed during operation, as
also the sequence of shooting can be changed during operation. One air blaster is
installed to blow kiln sealing dust back into the cooler.
A casting curb on each side of the cooler inlet is provided to achieve a better clinker
distribution on the grate area. (Casting curb = called a horse shoe, a specially
formed refractory side wall).
For temperature protection and monitoring, some of the ADPs are equipped with
thermocouples for measuring the grate plate temperatures. These temperatures
can be monitored from CCR.
2.3.2 Cross bar sections
The cross bar section consists of the fixed grate plates with the cross bar transport
system located above the grates.
Below the grates the cooler is divided into under grate compartments (UGCs), each
being supplied with air from their respective cooler fan attached.
2.3.3 Mechanical flow regulator (MFR)
Each grate plate for the cooler is equipped with an MFR (mechanical flow regulator).
The mechanical flow regulator limits the air flow though the grate by varying its
pressure resistance.
The MFRs come in various capacity ranges, which make it possible to create an
airflow distribution pattern to suite a specific clinker granulometry. Therefore,
several sizes of MFRs can be found within the same section.
The MFR is described by two characteristics:
1. Maximum pressure drop compensation capability
2. Flow rate maintained within this pressure range
The MFRs are marked with 5 to 7 digit identifiers.
The first 4 to 6 digits show the flow of kg/m/min and the last digit shows the
range of differential pressure of operation in hundreds of mmH2O. The m refers to
the area of the grate plate where the MFR belongs.
Examples:
MFR type 40404, has a flow rate of 40 to 40 kg/m/min with a differential
pressure of 400 mmH2O range of operation
MFR type 1201204, has a flow rate of 120 to 120 kg/m/min with a
differential pressure of 400 mmH2O range of operation
When the MFR regulator is moving at approx. 10 - 45 angle the air though the
grate is according to the MFR nominal flow.
If the installed MFR pattern is not suitable for the long-term production level or
characteristics of the clinker, the MFRs can be changed to match the actual needs.
The plant personnel should keep track of any changes performed.

2.3.4 Cross bar clinker transport


To provide for clinker transport through the cooler, the cooler has a number of
moving cross bars, which are moved using a system of hydraulic drives and
pistons.
2.4 Measurements and indications
2.4.1 Pressure Gauges
Pressure transmitters are installed for registration of each compartment pressure
with local and remote indication in the control room.
2.4.2 Fans
All fans normally feature flow measurement, power consumption readings, air flow
adjustments can be with fan inlet damper adjustments or by fan speed control
depending on the installed fans.
2.4.3 Grate temperatures
Thermocouples are mounted in the following locations:
Inlet plates in compartment 1
Above cooler plates in compartment 2 or 3
There is remote indication to the control room of all grate temperatures.

4.0 Preparations before operation


The personnel must be well informed about the control system, layout and
operating principle. This particularly applies to the knowledge of all interlocking
diagrams specifying protective, safety and operational interlocking.
4.1 Preparation
The following jobs must be completed prior to the startup:

A Inspect grates
o Ensure plates are not blocked so air may pass though as
intended
o Grates must be free from debris (steel, refractory, castable,
etc.)
Measure cooler wall height reference points
o Height from the grate line to a number of wall reference
points are measured, enabling clinker layer height to be
visually determined during operation
Check installed MFR's
o MFRs should move freely
o MFR layout must be checked to match the design layout
All doors to the cooler compartments and cooler must be closed

B No load testing is to be performed on all machinery associated with the


cooler department
Manual operated valves are set to correct position for operation
Cooler drives
o The hydraulic system no load test including start from the
local control cabinet
The local control cabinet is changed to central control
Cooler fans
o Confirm cooler fans air flow measurements between 60 and
100% of fan design at incremental step of 10%, using
piezometer value and the fan amps/kW consumption

C Test the control system


Ensure all interlocking are active and functions as intended
o Safety, Protective, and Operational interlocks
o Alarm limits must have been set
No interlock alarms must be present

4.1.1 Protection of grate plates


The entire grate line must be covered with a protective layer of cold clinker nodules
or alternatively limestone if clinker are not available, preferably containing next to
no dust. The clinker can be charged to the inlet of the cooler and distributed
gradually by jogging the cooler drives (only while fans are running). The cooler is
ready for operation, when the clinker is evenly distributed, over the whole grate
and starts to leave the cooler.

4.1.2 Drying of castables


If special requirements for the first-time drying-out of refractory castables have
been stipulated by the supplier of the grate cooler lining, ensure compliance with
such requirements during the startup procedure.
4.2 Readiness for startup
Having complied with the previous section, the electrical and the mechanical
departments must announce that the installation is ready for operation.

5.0 Operation
5.1 General
The two prime objectives of the grate cooler are as follows:
To cool the clinker
To recuperate heat from the clinker back to the kiln system
In normal operation the objectives above are achieved by slowly over moving the
clinker through the clinker cooler over a period of approximately 25 minutes, while
aerating the clinker layer from below with a proportionate air flow of around
1.8 Nm/kg clinker.
5.2 Starting up
To provide air for the kiln burner at the initial heating up, a few selected cooler fans
can be started up slowly according to the air demand of the kiln.
Gradually as the clinker begins to leave the kiln, the grate cooler must be put into
operation.
1) Start the clinker transport
2) Start the dust conveying system for the excess air handling equipment
3) Start clinker crusher
4) Start the cooler excess air fan
a) Adjust the negative pressure in the kiln hood to about 0.5 mbar and set the
PI(D)-regulator in automatic mode
5) Start all cooler fans not already operating
a) Maintain all compartment pressures above their minimum alarm setting (20
mbar for the inlet and first two compartments and 15 mbar for the rest)
6) To avoid a build-up of clinker on the grates
a) Cooler drive can be started stepwise with the increasing material flow from
the kiln
7) Gradually as the production increases
a) Cooling air is increased
8) Start the cooler drive
a) Continuous operation beginning with minimum stroke speed
b) The cooler drives must be in operation before the kiln drive can be started.
This interlock can be overruled during the heating-up period.

Note!
It is desirable to place the cooler excess air fan in automatic mode as early into the
preheat mode as possible. Once the excess air fan automatically controls the kiln
hood draft, it is easy to bring any remaining undergrate fans on line.

5.2.1 Cooler fan airflows


For full production the expected operating air flow rates are given at the end of this
document. The values can be used as a relative guidance when operating at lower
production levels. Use PI(D)-regulators for setting of all the airflow rates. This
means that the cooler will be controlled automatically right from the start.

5.2.2 Initial operation


As the clinker layer builds, the UGCs will begin to pressurize and the cooling air to
the UGCs should be adjusted to ensure adequate cooling of the clinker all the way
through the cooler to the desired discharge temperature.
To establish and maintain an adequate clinker bed depth the speed of the cooler
drives must be increased in proportion to the kiln output. It is suggested to keep
(manually) increasing the cooler drives speed, to attain a pressure of 60 to 80 mbar
under the first cross bar compartments (UGC 2) as a preliminary target value. The
clinker bed is maintained at 600-660 mm.

Note!
Operate with min. 20 mbar on the inlet and the first two cross-bar compartments,
and min. 15 mbar on the remaining. This will protect grate plates from blocking and
ensure clinker is not forced backwards though the grate plate and into the under
grate compartments.

An optimization of the clinker bed depth will take place when the kiln performance
becomes more stable.
If the clinker tends to accumulate excessively on the inlet area, or if agglomeration
of clinker occurs, the air blasters can be programmed to shoot more frequently to
facilitate movement of the clinker, and to avoid agglomeration.
5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Clinker layer
The clinker layer in the cooler is controlled by the speed of the cooler drive. This
speed is controlled by means of the ratio between two pressures:
1) The average pressure in the rectangular tower between the air distribution plate
and MFR in the first crossbar undergrate compartment (plate pressure), in a
ratio 50-100%
2) The pressure of the fixed inlet undergrate compartment, in a ratio 0-50%.
The combined fractions of the two pressures should always add up to 100%.
The set-point for this controller will in automatic mode maintain the clinker bed
depth accordingly:
Decreasing bed depth; the combined pressure will decrease, and the speed
will reduce
Increasing bed depth; the combined pressure will increase, and the speed
will increase
In case the controller is in manual mode, for example in case of a flush from the
kiln, the cooler drive speed should be changed very slowly, i.e. 0.5-1 stroke/minute
at a time. It is normally recommended to try to maintain a normal drive speed and
do not overreact as long as the cooler fans can keep the airflow set-point. A rapid
change, especially if increasing the stroke speed, is likely to reduce the clinker layer
too much and expose the cross-bars or even the cooler grate plates to excessive
temperatures, which can damage them.

CB Cooler
Process Instruction: 70031181-1.0

It is important to maintain a consistent clinker bed in the cooler. If the bed is too
low the retention time of the clinker in the cooler will be too short, and that will
affect the clinker temperature and heat recuperation.
5.3.2 Cooler fans
Shortly after startup of the cooler, the fan flow control should be placed in
automatic mode for maintaining sufficient airflow to the UGCs.
The set point of the airflow control must gradually be increased as the clinker bed
depth is reaching the desired level of typically 600 mm.
5.3.3 Visual inspections of undergrate area
Regular, periodic inspections of the under-grate area are made from the outside
though the view ports. Ensure the MFRs are operating freely, that there is no
clinker fall-through into the compartment, and that there is no leaking of hydraulic
oil from the hydraulic system.
During normal operation, also bolted connections in the under grate compartment
should be monitored. During startup, frequent inspections are required.

Note!
Leaking of hydraulic oils in the undergrate compartments will lead to dust buildup
inside the grate plates and hereby reduce the airflow though the plates, and may
also stop the MFR's from moving freely. Stop the hydraulic leaks as soon as
possible to avoid loss of cooler operational performance.

5.3.4 Visual inspections of clinker layer.


Regular, periodic inspections of the clinker layer should be made to ensure that the
clinker is cooled sufficiently through the cooler passage.
A cooler in stable operation has a uniform flow of clinker across the entire grate
area. The airflow through the clinker bed should be sufficient to keep the surface of
the clinker bed slightly percolating (small sized clinker are hovering above the
clinker surface) without any major blow-through.
5.3.5 Grate temperatures
Grate plate surface temperatures are measured for several positions across the
width of the cooler, around 3 meters from the fixed inlet. The grate temperatures
are normally less than 100 C during operation. High grate temperatures may lead
to heat damage of the cooler grates and crossbars, and hereby reduce cooler
availability and performance.
Increased temperatures (> 150 C) could be caused by low clinker layer and/or
partial fluidized clinker bed in the case of dusty clinker. The cooler interlocks will
decrease air flow and cooler stroke speed when the temperature exceeds 150 C.
The operator must observe if the applied changes by the interlock is sufficient or
additional corrections are required.
5.3.6 Fixed inlet
The air to the fixed inlet ensures a fast quench of the clinker leaving the kiln. It is
essential to ensure that the airflow at the cooler inlet section is adequate, since this
airflow is a contributory factor for distribution of clinker across the whole cooler
area.

CB Cooler
Process Instruction: 70031181-1.0

At low air flows the clinker will begin to agglomerate and stick to each other,
causing poor clinker distribution from inlet to the crossbar sections and hereby poor
cooler performance and risk of clinker buildups ("snowmen" formation). At high air
flows the cooler recuperation will be reduced.
The fixed inlet should have just enough air so that the clinker does not agglomerate
during normal operation. Check and adjust the air flow to the fixed inlet while
observing the clinker layer (inspect from outside the cooler though viewports).
5.4 Trouble shooting guide
5.4.1 Low bed depth
The cooler drive speed is too high. Reduce the cooler drive speed and/or increase
the set-point pressure which controls the cooler drive speed.
Difference in clinker granulometry may lead to different pressure loss for same
layer depth and air flow.
5.4.2 MFR regulators fully open
Not necessarily a problem. The air flow passing by the MFR's is less that the
nominal MFR capacity.
The normal case would be that at least a few of the MFR's in the chamber would
move just a little, depending on how close the applied air flow to the compartment
is to the MFR's total nominel capacity.
Verify that the desired airflow is being delivered to the air compartment by
checking the fan power, flow, pressure and piezometre set-point.
5.4.3 MFR regulators fully closed
The air flow though the MFR's is same or larger than the MFR's nominal flow
capacity. It is not possible to get more air into the compartment, as the MFR's will
counter any such attempt, and the result would only be an increased power uptake
of the cooler fan.
Should more air be required to the compartment, the MFR's will have to be
modified or changed, to suit a required larger flow.
5.4.4 Clinker fall through
Check actual compartment pressures are above the min. of 15 - 20 mbar. If the
pressure is too low, pressure must be increased by increasing the fan air flow
and/or clinker bed debt.
If fall through is occurring and is persistent, the cooler must be stopped and
mechanically inspected for faults.
5.4.5 Caking or crusting of the clinker bed
The airflow, especially on the inlet, should be increased to ensure proper cooling of
the clinker which should prevent clinker agglomerations.
5.4.6 Poor material distribution on the inlet
The distribution of clinker is dictated by the amount of inlet airflow, and the grate
speed. If clinker build-up formations occur in the cooler inlet area, increase air
blaster sequence time or switch air blast channels to problem areas.

5.4.7 Kiln flush


If the cooler grate plate temperatures give alarm on high temperature during or
just after a kiln flush, reduce cooler drive speed and reduce the cooler airflow in
order to minimize fine dust fluidization on the cooler grates.
5.4.8 Dusty clinker
The clinker cooler can handle dusty clinker, if the air flow to the grates is not too
large. If high air flows are applied to the grate cooler sections the dust will be
entrained / fluidized and circulate between the kiln and cooler. Initial steps of
handling dusty clinker would be to lower the amount of air to the recuperation
zone, simply by reducing the cascade factor. If this does not prove to be sufficient
it could be beneficial to change the MFR regulators, preferably with size 4040X to
6060X out near the cooler sides if not already installed. The recup zone is normally
installed with 6060x to 8080x MFR's.
5.5 Alarms

Low compartment pressure Indicates low air flow though the grates.
Crossbar drive is stopped on interlock.

High grate temperature Indicates low bed thickness and/or fluidization of


fine clinker dust. The crossbar drive speed and air
flow is reduced on interlock.

Make visual inspections of operation to check the


clinker bed height and air flows. If dusty clinker is
causing fluidization then reduce the air flow to the
areas where the high temperatures are observed.

High excess air temperature Increase the cooling air to the cooler.

5.6 Stop of cooler


The clinker cooler normal stop is related to the kiln system stop. The normal
process interlocks are as follows.
Kiln stop Crossbar drive is stopped on interlock.

Kiln barring will give some clinker to the cooler. If


required to move these clinker (visual inspection),
then the cross bars (while the cooler is aerated) can
be moved slowly and carefully, so not to risk
lowering the clinker layer and potentially exposing
the grates to hot clinker.

ID fan speed forced down or Cooler fan air flows are forced down by interlock to
stopped pre-set default speeds (or damper positions), which
have been set individual for each fan (typically
around 40 to 60 %). Cooler air fans are set to
manual control.

Maintain sufficient air to the grates to keep grates


and crossbars cool.

If the kiln stop lasts for more than a day, the cooling fans are stopped, when the
clinker inside the cooler has been cooled sufficiently to avoid heat damage to the
clinker cooler.

Process Instruction: 70031181-1.0

Note!
The cooler should not be emptied for material, unless this is necessary in order to
carry out repairs. For repair works, it is only necessary to empty out material in
local areas.
Maintain a normal layer of clinker in the cooler, until the kiln has been cooled off
completely, and inspection has been carried out in the kiln.
After eventual repairs in the kiln, and discharge of old lining or crust are finished
first then will it be practical to empty out the cooler.
Emptying of the cooler by means of the grate drives must be done with great care.
The clinker bed should be visually monitored during emptying out, and the grate
must be stopped, when the crossbars get visual. The remaining clinker must
hereafter be removed by other means than the cross bar drive.

6.0 Operational controls


The various motors, machines, dampers and other equipment are operated and
controlled by the central control system. The typical process operating controls are
given in the following.
6.1 Control loops
The following control loops are foreseen, with the possibility for automatic or
manual control:
Control of By regulating
(typical PID reg.)

Kiln hood pressure Excess air fan speed

Clinker layer is indirectly controlled by; Speed of cooler drives


Grate pressures (ratio between fixed inlet and
crossbar grate section)

Cooler fan air flows Fan speed control (or damper if installed)

6.1.1 Cooler fans


The cooler fans can operate in cascade mode. The cooler fans below the CrossBar
sections are grouped into two zones.
Recuperation zone
Cooling zone
The cascade mode allows the operator to give a proportional factor input to the
zone (typical 0.6 to 1.1). The factor is multiplied with the default fan flows for the
group to give the set point flow for the cooler fans PID control. Default fan flows are
set initially as expected operating flows.
When operating with cascade mode on, the operator can increase the air flow
simply by setting the cascade ratio factors and the cooler fan air flows will be
changed proportionally.
6.2 Interlocks
For easy reference the below tables list the most common process interlocks for the
CB cooler. For a full list of interlocks please refer to separate documentation
presenting the interlock diagrams for the clinker cooler.
