Application Tips
How can high alumina insulating bricks achieve energy saving and consumption reduction in industrial furnaces? Starting from their unique porous structure, this article analyzes the relationship between porosity and thermal conductivity (for every 5% increase in porosity, the thermal conductivity decreases by 0.1 - 0.3 W/(m·K)), and explains why this product can reduce the furnace body's heat capacity by over 30% while ensuring high-temperature stability. It presents the data of unit energy consumption reduction through an actual case of a ceramic tunnel kiln and emphasizes the quality advantage of meeting ISO/ASTM international standards, helping you understand how materials science can be transformed into quantifiable economic benefits.

Microstructure Design Principle of High Alumina Insulating Bricks

High alumina insulating bricks are a key innovation in high - temperature industrial furnaces. Their unique design is centered around a porous network structure. This structure is not only a simple arrangement of pores but a sophisticated balance between insulation performance and mechanical strength.

The porous network in high alumina insulating bricks is carefully engineered. The pores act as barriers to heat transfer. When heat tries to pass through the brick, these pores disrupt the heat flow path, reducing the overall heat conduction. At the same time, the solid parts of the brick maintain the necessary mechanical strength to withstand the high - temperature environment and mechanical stress in industrial furnaces.

Quantitative Relationship between Porosity and Thermal Conductivity

One of the most significant features of high alumina insulating bricks is the clear quantitative relationship between porosity and thermal conductivity. Through extensive research and testing, it has been found that for every 5% increase in porosity, the thermal conductivity decreases by 0.1 - 0.3 W/(m·K). This data is crucial for understanding the energy - saving potential of these bricks.

Let's take a look at a comparison table:

Porosity (%) Thermal Conductivity (W/(m·K))
30 1.2
35 1.0 - 0.9
40 0.8 - 0.7

This data clearly shows that as the porosity increases, the thermal conductivity decreases significantly, which means better insulation performance and lower energy consumption in industrial furnaces.

Industry Case: Energy Consumption Reduction in Ceramic Firing Tunnel Kilns

To illustrate the economic value of high alumina insulating bricks, let's take the example of a ceramic firing tunnel kiln. In a traditional ceramic tunnel kiln, the energy consumption is relatively high due to the poor insulation of the furnace lining.

After replacing the original lining with high alumina insulating bricks, the energy consumption data shows a remarkable reduction. For instance, in a certain ceramic factory, the unit energy consumption decreased by 25% - 30% after the replacement. This reduction in energy consumption directly translates into cost savings for the factory, improving its overall economic efficiency.
