Drying refractory is critical for strong, long-lasting refractory applications. Unfortunately, standard refractory dry-out schedules, provided by all refractory manufacturers with their products, are difficult to apply to refractory used on a steam-generating boiler. These standard dry-out schedules are generic and require temperature monitoring rarely found at power plants, where monitoring

Refractory dryout is the controlled process of applying heat to a refractory lining to remove water from the lining system without causing damage to the refractory materials. Whenever linings are heated up from ambient temperatures, whether it be the initial heatup after a new lining installation or a subsequent

Drying Out Monolithic Refractories Refractories are heat-resistant materials used for the retention of substances at high temperatures in furnaces, reactors and other processing units. In addition to being resistant to thermal stress and other elements induced by heat, refractories are usually required to withstand physical wear and corrosion

Sep 13, 2017 Boiler Refractory dry out is to ensure proper drying, curing of refractory applied on furnace and other components. The refractory usually undergoes considerable chemical changes, during initial heating. Controlled heating, through these reactions ensures maximum strength. While heating, there must be free air flow over the system to ensure removal of moisture

Refractory has always been an integral part of steam-generating boilers. In the steam-generating industry, refractory materials are used for filling gaps and openings to help keep the fire inside the fire box, for lining ash hoppers (wet and dry) that collect ash and slag, and for the protection of lower furnace wall tubes inside fluidized bed, cyclone-fired, or refuse-derived fired boilers

Generally, drying refractory means executing a thermal cycle that starts at ambient temperatures and follows a curve specified by the manufacturer. In addition to the gradual temperature ramp, it is important to pressurize the vessel in order to obtain temperature uniformity and to provide adequate changes in the atmosphere to carry away the
