Light weight fire clay brick won most furnace builders praise by good performance and low price. Light weight fire clay bricks are used in most places that does not touch fire.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of light weight fire clay brick?
Heat loss in furnace masonry and furnace surface heat dissipation account for 24-45% of fuel consumption. We can save fuel consumption by using light weight brick of low heat conductivity and thermal capacity as furnace body material. At the same time because the furnace can be heated and cooled quickly, the productivity will be increased. The weight of furnace is lightened. The building of furnace is simplified. The product quality is increased. The environmental temperature is lowered and working environment is improved.
But, porosity of light weight fire clay brick is high. The structure of brick is loose. It can not be used in places that directly touch molten slag and liquid metal. Its mechanical strength is low and can not be used in load bearing structure. The bricks’ abrasive resistance is low. It is inappropriate to touch furnace burden and used in easily worn part.
Above is the advantages and disadvantages of CCEWOOL light weight fire clay brick. We hope this can bring some help to furnace builders. Next period we will mainly introduce how to make light weight fire clay brick perform its best insulation effect. Please stay tuned.
