![Page 9: Modern day curing revised july 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559d18e71a28ab64558b46c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Quantity - Have the required boiler
capacity to produce enough steam to
complete the curing cycle.
Quality - Saturated steam is a quality
steam, having the correct amount of heat
& moisture present.
Velocity - Correct piping to induce
steam evenly into kilns for equal
distribution.

AFTER SHUTTING OFF STEAM, BLOCK SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO SOAK 6 TO 8 HOURS.
The soaking period is as important as the steam time. The longer the
units are allowed to soak the better will be the final results. As long
as the air in the kiln is not disturbed, the humidity of the kiln increases
as the temperature decreases, because the moisture content is relatively
constant. An accelerated curing condition is maintained in the kiln
during the entire time the temperature is falling to 70 degrees (21.11c).
Therefore, the longer soaking period is extended, the greater the
compressive strength of the block.

DETERMINATION OF
BOILER LOAD
1). Individual kiln requirements
2). Number of kilns being operated simultaneously
3). Plant heating requirements
4). Miscellaneous loads

In conclusion it must be remembered that the
proper curing of concrete masonry is a processing
problem and not a heating problem. The proper
installation of a efficient curing system is the job of a
person thoroughly familiar with the thermodynamic
properties of steam and air, and also familiar with
boilers, preheating and water treatment.
