Improvement in the Life of Refractory Material Applicable with Technical Aspects

Abstract

Abstract The furnace is an essential part of any industrial process. It is worked between low to high temperature ranges. Refractory is required for that purpose due to high heat energy sustainability. The purpose of this experimental investigation was to determine the effects of different temperatures on an installed furnace by manipulating the arrangement of metallic anchors. The results obtained by experimentally have been also validated by using the ANSYS R 17.1 programme. This testing allows for the generation of data and analysis for various monolithic structures throughout the course of several heating and cooling cycles. It calculated the refractory’s liner thermal expansion coefficient and that of implanted in the material. Additionally, strain and real thermal stress in refractory were determined at increased temperatures. Results revealed that the strain in metallic anchors has been increased by 70.7% than the strain in refractory in temperature range 44-275°C. Also, the temperature stress on the refractory-embedded anchor and the real expansion needs may be better measured with this experiment.
