Abstract

Methods for inputting thermal energy into fluidic medium in a cement manufacturing process include generation of a heated fluidic medium by at least one rotary apparatus having a rotor with at least one row of rotor blades and a stator configured as an assembly of stationary vanes arranged at least upstream of the at least one row of rotor blades. An amount of thermal energy is imparted to a stream of fluidic medium by virtue of a series of energy transformations occurring when the stream of fluidic medium passes through the stationary guide vanes and the at least one row of rotor blades, respectively. The method further includes integration of the at least one rotary apparatus into a cement production facility configured to carry out cement production processes, and conducting an amount of input energy into the at least one rotary apparatus integrated into the heat-consuming process facility.
