Overview: Refractory Lining in Industrial Boilers

RES POWERTHERM Res CONTRACT SERVICES LTD www.powertherm.co.uk Overview: Refractory Lining in Industrial Boilers Refractories are often an overlooked key component in boiler systems. They are heat resistant materials that make up the lining of boilers and other equipment - such as furnaces. While they are integral to running and maintaining commercial and industrial boilers, they are also a leading cause of boiler outages and energy losses. Proper boiler refractory installation, start-up, and maintenance services are required so you get the most out of your boiler system and prevent any issues. MATERIALS Refractory materials are used in boilers to hold the heat created by burning fuel in furnaces and to protect the steel structure from the extreme operating conditions. The materials used need to have the right insulating properties, withstand extreme pressure and protect against high temperatures. Boiler refractory materials are classified in three main groups: PH1 PH7 PH14 ACID NEUTRAL BASE OR MATERIALS: MATERIALS: ALKALINE of clay, dn quartz, silica, gamister, and Made up of graphite, chromite, alumina, and Made MATERIALS: Made up of lime, zirconia, and sandstone. plumbago. magnesia. Careful considerations should always be taken when choosing the proper refractory materials to avoid unwanted reactions that could reduce insulation and effectiveness. SELECTING THE CORRECT APPLICATION METHOD Key factors to consider before choosing the right application: Skill of refractory installation team. Material, anchorage, equipment and labour costs. Installation equipment and method. Environmental factors. Volume of boiler refractory required. Storage conditions. Bake-out requirements.
