About this document
Optimizing Kiln Wall Thermal Efficiency by Martin Jesus Gonzalez Aguirre is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses selecting materials for kiln walls to minimize energy consumption during firing cycles. It presents a model showing that energy consumption has two components: heat lost through conduction and heat absorbed by the wall material to raise it to the operating temperature. The optimal wall thickness balances these factors. The best materials maximize a property called the thermal index, which is proportional to thermal diffusivity over thermal conductivity. A chart is presented comparing
