Abstract

Due to high cost of primary energy resources it is urgent to work out the alternative methods of furnace heating. Performance parameters of shaft lime-burning furnace with daily output 200 tons are researched at partial substitution of natural gas by top gas. Effect of top gas on lateral and peripheral burners during supply is studied.
