Why use light insulation bricks in industrial kiln?

Jan 02, 2020

      The heat loss of industrial kiln through the furnace body generally accounts for 22% -43% of the fuel and electrical energy consumption. This huge data is directly related to the cost of the unit output of the product. In order to reduce costs and respond to environmental protection and source-saving policies, lightweight insulation bricks have become a favored product in the industrial high-temperature furnace industry.


     Lightweight thermal brick is a lightweight refractory material with high porosity, small bulk density and low thermal conductivity. Lightweight refractory bricks have a porous structure (porosity is generally 40% -85%) and high thermal insulation properties.


     The use of lightweight insulation bricks saves fuel consumption, greatly reduces the heating and cooling time of the kiln, and improves the production efficiency of the kiln. Because the lightweight insulation brick is light in weight, it saves time and effort during masonry, and greatly reduces the weight of the furnace body. However, due to the large porosity of the lightweight thermal insulation bricks, the internal structure is relatively loose, and most lightweight thermal insulation products cannot directly contact metal melts and flames.
