22+ Natural Draft Furnace Operation UK. The main benefit of these furnaces seems to have been the reduction in labour they provide and simplified infrastructure (fewer workers and no bellows required during operation). The current paper is an incomplete draft and will be supplemented at later dates.
Portland cement was first made in packed bed kilns, similar to lime and pottery kilns but the suction available from a natural draft system in pascals is given by:p h s a ϭ ϫ 9 81.

I melted some minerals in it using only firewood as a fuel. In operation, practical efficiencies exceed 80%, something the designers of all process furnaces can aspire to achieve.
