Gas kiln
Control of the gas furnace in a summer course of the Werkschule e.V.
Controllable firing technique.
In fossil fuel kilns fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire takes place in an open flame and reducing atmosphere. This means that the atmosphere is deprived of oxygen during a certain phase of the fire. In this way, for example, different colours of the same metal oxide can be achieved.
Gas represents a controllable fuel. The reduction phase can be easily controlled by reducing or closing the air inlet openings - in contrast to wood firing, for example.
