Introduction:
Kiln linings are typically exposed to high temperatures and harsh chemical environments, so they require materials that can withstand these conditions. Firebricks are made from clay or other alumina-rich materials and can withstand temperatures up to 1650°C. They have good resistance to acid and alkali corrosion and can resist thermal shock.
In addition to firebricks, other refractory materials may also be used in kiln linings, including ceramic fiber, castable refractories, and insulating materials. The choice of refractory materials depends on the specific operating conditions of the kiln and the desired service life of the lining.
Proper installation of firebricks in kiln linings is critical to ensure safe and efficient operation. The selection of appropriate materials and careful design of the lining system help to minimize heat loss, reduce energy consumption, and extend the service life of the kiln.
