Balancing Direct Fired Kilns
(1/1)
JMS:
Will balancing direct-fired kilns improve energy costs?
Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you,
JMS
TimothyD:
I am not sure I understand your question. What exactly do you mean by "balancing" direct-fired kilns? If you can be more specific, I can do some research online and try to find some references.

Balancing the heat distribution in the kiln should give a more uniform final moisture content. That should probably be the primary concern.
You will probably have lower energy use with a more uniform MC because there will be fewer wets allowing you to raise the average moisture content a bit.
