The author have analysed all systems available on the market today and consequently developed a completely new clinker cooling system. The name for this cooler includes the Greek Symbol that stands for efficiency with regards to thermal process, availability, reliability and operational costs. The paper will provide a detailed introduction of this cooler design and will inform about first operating results. The following items of the cooler will be explained in detail: unique features; physical aspects; heat balance & efficiency; instrumentation & control; energy consumption; maintenance aspects; fan sizing; clinker breaker; first experiences.
