Combustion Services and Refractory Dry Outs

Refractory Dry Outs Give Your Linings Improved Refractory Strength Refractory Separation Eliminated Removal of Mechanical Water Minimize Explosive Spalling Avoid Thermal Stress

IMPROVED REFRACTORY STRENGTH

• Near 1000 Degrees F Ceramic Bonding Takes Place.
• High Velocity Burners Apply High Pressure and Heat
• This Ensures Cross-Sectional Ceramic Bonding.
• Increasing Refractory Strength, Resulting in Increased Service Life.

REFRACTORY SEPARATION ELIMINATED

Proper Dry Out Ensures That Dual Component Linings Will Not Experience Sagging or Separation from Anchored Refractory By:

Utilizing hot, cold, and intermediate thermocouples. Ensures proper through wall temperature gradients. 1000 degrees f, ceramic bonding takes place.

REMOVAL OF MECHANICAL WATER

Refractory Heated too Quickly or Unevenly May:

Lock moisture in, causing shortened refractory life.

Proper Dry Out

Removes mechanical water at closely controlled temperatures below 600 degrees F.

MINIMIZE EXPLOSIVE SPALLING

Controlled Dry Out Will:

Slowly & safely, force mechanical and chemical water from the refractory lining. Avoiding pressure buildup and explosive spalling.

AVOID THERMAL STRESS

Controlled Dry Outs Prevent

Minute cracking Thermally induced stress which weakens the refractory.
