L'air primaire comprend la totalité de l'air entrant dans le four par le brûleur. Dans le cas particulier d’un four moderne de cimenterie, l'air primaire représente de 8 à 12 % de l'air total. Il permet une combustion immédiate mais partielle du combustible, et l'accrochage de la flamme. En faisant varier le débit et la pression d’injection, on modifie la forme de la flamme. Dans le cas d’une chauffe au charbon, une partie de l'air primaire peut servir au transport de celui-ci. L'air introduit ultérieurement dans le four pour assurer la combustion totale est appelé, selon les configurations industrielles particulières, air secondaire, air tertiaire... 3, record 1, French, - air%20secondaire
