Abstract
In cement clinker production installations, especially with short rotary tubular kiln, in order to find a way in which the thermally highly stressed rotary kiln intake chamber can be protected from overstress and therewith the entire production installation can be reliably operated it is proposed, according to the invention, to introduce directly into the rotary kiln intake chamber, a finely granular non-preheated substance usable in the cement clinker production process, to suspend or disperse it there in the rotary kiln exhaust gas and thereby to continuously cool the kiln intake chamber, and to discharge the heated finely granular substance with the exhaust gas from the kiln intake chamber and to add it to the process raw meal or direct it elsewhere.
