Abstract

This paper presents the successful testing of a new high-efficiency indirect cooling technology in a cement milling application. Conventional cement cooling uses water flow that is open to the plant environment, leading to issues with efficiency, maintenance, emissions, and contamination. A new indirect cooling technology using cooling water enclosed within plates was tested at a Canadian cement plant, showing improved efficiency, and promises better maintenance and water usage. Test results are summarized and compared to the conventional cement cooling equipment.
