The fundamental laws of gas flow are applied to the movement of gases through down‐draft kilns. Data on pressure conditions in four kilns are presented graphically. The cause of draft, the superiority of the down‐draft over the up‐draft kiln, the significance of stack draft, the relation of draft and excess air, features of kiln design, and the comparative merits of forced, induced and natural draft are discussed.
