What are expected effect on Production, PH fan load, Cyclone exit and cone T & P and other operational changes if you know in such condition.

Re: Run plant without cyclone dip tubes.

Hey; 

We are running 5000 tpd kiln with the maximum capacity without bottom cyclone dip tube (due to shortage of spare parts). Running the kiln without a dip tube may only decrease the settling efficiency of bottom cyclone which can result in:

1) A higher temperature at top of the preheater

2) A higher heat consumption.

3) A little rise in negative pressure at top.
