Introduction of Kerui Bubble Alumina Brick
Alumina bubble brick is composed of alumina bubbles. Alumina bubbles are made from high-purity alumina powder. The alumina powder is melted in an electric furnace. And after high-pressure air and low-temperature shrinkage solidification, alumina bubbles are formed. Alumina bubble bricks are mainly composed of a-Al2O3 microcrystals. The maximum operating temperature can reach 1800 degrees Celsius. Kerui Refractory provides alumina bubble bricks with lightweight and good insulation performance.
Advantages of Kerui Bubble Alumina Refractory
High Insulation Ability
The bubble spheres inside the alumina bubble bricks act as insulators. They can greatly reduce heat transfer. Due to their excellent insulation performance, they can help reduce energy loss and improve energy efficiency. Therefore, this feature helps to save costs for businesses.
Enhanced Chemical Stability
The alumina purity in alumina bubble bricks is over 99%. It exhibits stable chemical properties at high temperatures and remains structurally intact in acidic and alkaline environments. This helps extend the lifespan of the equipment.
Strong Thermal Shock Resistance
Alumina bubble bricks have good resistance to thermal shock. In high-temperature environments, they can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or spalling. They can be used in extremely high-temperature industries such as steel and glass.
Low Thermal Conductivity
The low thermal conductivity of alumina bubble bricks is related to their insulation properties. The thermal conductivity ranges from 0.9-1.2W/(m·K). It is higher than mullite insulation fire brick‘s. Their low thermal conductivity reduces heat transfer losses. This effectively decreases heat loss in industrial processes and achieves energy savings of over 30%.
Lightweight
They have a high porosity and low volume density. The volume of alumina bubbles ranges from 1.3-1.9g/cm3. The porous bubble structure results in a very light weight. They are easy to handle and transport. This feature helps effectively reduce labor and logistics costs. Additionally, lightweight materials help reduce the weight of buildings.
Environmentally Friendly
These bricks offer environmental benefits. Firstly, their insulation properties help reduce energy consumption for businesses. Secondly, the long lifespan of alumina bubble bricks reduces raw material consumption. Lastly, at the same temperature, the consumption of alumina bubble bricks is lower compared to cost-equivalent refractory bricks. This helps introduce 80% of refractory materials.
Uses of Bubble Alumina Brick
Due to the excellent physical and chemical properties of alumina bubble bricks, they have become one of the choices for high-temperature harsh environments. They not only withstand high temperatures but also provide good energy-saving effects. In order to maintain equipment stability and extend lifespan, they are widely used in the following high-temperature industrial equipment:
- Steel and metallurgical industry: Ladles, tundishes, blast furnaces, steelmaking furnaces, refractory furnaces, molten iron transport equipment, preheating walls, flat storage chambers, coke ovens, reheating furnaces, induction kilns, molybdenum furnaces, tungsten rod furnaces, electric furnaces, and so on.
- Petrochemical industry: Gasifiers, gasifiers, carbon black reaction furnaces, cracking units, reactors, catalyst carriers, and so on.
- Ceramic industry: Ceramic kilns, ceramic storage chambers, and so on.
- Cement industry: Cement kilns, and so on.
- Glass industry: Glass kilns, glass storage chambers, and so on.
