The elements of the heat‐balance study and calculation of the thermal efficiency of ceramic kilns are summarized, and an outline of a heat‐balance method is given. The CO 2 in the flue gases of the kilns studied was measured automatically and continuously by an electric CO 2 meter making use of the thermal conductivity method, and some of the resulting CO 2 percentage curves are given and interpreted. A complete heat‐balance of a 30‐foot round downdraft facebrick kiln fired with wood is given, together with various data and conclusions on the use of wood in firing ceramic kilns. A complete heat‐balance of a Hoffman continuous coal fired kiln is given, together with temperature‐gradient curves and other data of this and two other Hoffman kilns.
