firing floor Explanation: It looks like this is called the firing floor. Below this is where there is a conveyer/chute that takes the clinker through a rapid cooling area so this would make sense that the crust is carried out that way. It seems to be the floor as in the level that the firing takes place rather than e.g. the floor of a furnace. For a photo, see firing floors of Wilmington kilns 3 and 4 https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/ck_firing.html This diagram shows how the crust would be transported out (just as the clinker would be taken out when it was operating normally) https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-schematic-and-contro... also referenced here https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cooler_rotary.html Example sentence(s):

Reference: Semi-reliable technical dictionary Reference information: chauffe = fire chamber of furnace [steel production], body of furnace -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2020-09-25 15:59:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reliability backed up by CNRTL: chauff = [metallurgy, rare] four, partie d'un four; partie du four où brûle le combustible -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2020-09-25 16:00:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And a little closer to your term, in the Académie's ninth edition: surface de chauffe = partie d'un appareil qui est en contact avec la source de chaleur. |
