A rotary kiln burner particularly for fine-grained solid fuels such as coal dust, with jet air nozzles which can be adjusted easily and effectively during operation of the kiln in order to change the divergence angle of the high-speed jet air streams to change the flame shape and optimize the combustion. The jet air nozzles are attached with the nozzle openings divergent to the burner axis at the end of jet air pipes. The nozzle openings are arranged around the burner axis, with the axes parallel, with the jet air pipes arranged inside an annular cooling air space surrounding the coal dust channel and enclosed on the outside by the burner housing pipe. The nozzle openings are mounted so that they can rotate around the jet air pipe axes, so that on turning the jet air pipes at the cold end of the burner lance, the divergence of the high-speed jet air streams, and thus the angle of the jet air flow angle of the jet air flow cone angle of the jet air flow cone in relation to the coal dust cone, can be changed and adjusted.

Rotary furnace burner

In order to provide a rotary-furnace burner in which the quantity fraction of cost-effective particulate secondary fuels to be used as energy carriers can be increased and the configuration of the burner flame can be influenced, even during the operation of the burner, it is proposed, according to the invention, to arrange an expansion chamber open towards the burner mouth and having a widened cross section, as compared with the tube or individual tubes in the burner in front of the issue of the tube or tubes for blowing out the secondary fuels, and to make the axial length and the volume of the expansion chamber variable, during the operation of the burner, by means of the axial displacement of the secondary-fuel tubes, so that the particulate secondary fuel particles blown out at the burner mouth with a considerably reduced velocity do not fly past the burner flame, but, instead, burn out in the flame.

A process and device for the reliable monitoring of the current condition of the protective jacket formed of fireproof material, in particular of a rotary tubular kiln burner lance, during operation of the kiln system. A compressed air ring main and/or an annular metal wire loop forming part of an electrical circuit extending around the circumference of the protective jacket are embedded in the fireproof compound of the protective jacket in the area of the burner tip, in which in the event of burning through of the ring main or metal wire loop, a connected pressure sensor or current sensor generates a monitoring signal.
