• Resumen

  • Refractory engineers remain under constant pressure to increase the performance or furnaces, incinerators and reactors to maximise energy efficiency. Although there are many materials, which can enhance the efficiency of furnaces, many still lose heat when in operation through flue gas, excess moisture in fuel, or continued opening of the furnace door. This is preventing many engineers from realising maximum energy efficiencies, causing businesses to focus their attention on reliable insulation and lining of furnaces from the floor to the stack, to contain as much heat as possible during operation. Companies such as Morgan Advanced Materials are responding to this challenge with a variety of lighweight, energy saving solutions with refractory designs, which minimise heat loss in these units. In this article, Steve Chernack outlines five top tips for achieving the best furnace lining efficiency.
