As a common brick for glass melting furnace, mullite brick can be used in many parts of glass furnace. The following is the application of mullite brick in various parts of glass melting furnace.

1. Front wall

The front wall of the glass melting furnace is close to the batch material area. Due to the large temperature fluctuations in this area and the large amount of dust in the raw materials, the conditions are relatively harsh. Material dust erosion ability. Therefore, the hanging wall and the wing wall of the feeding port can be designed to use re-sintered fused mullite bricks.

2. Neck

The neck is generally designed with a water bag and agitator. During equipment maintenance, there will be a large temperature difference in the space of the neck. It is a better design choice to use sintered mullite bricks in this place.

3. Port and upper wall of regenerator

Because mullite bricks, especially mullite bricks made of fused zollite, also have good resistance to the erosion of batch materials and alkali vapor, re-sintered fused mullite bricks can be used in port. At least it can be used in the last few pairs of port to improve the operating environment of the small furnace and reduce the cost of this part. Similarly, re-sintered fused mullite bricks can also be used in the upper wall of the regenerator. Compared with alkaline bricks, mullite bricks have lower thermal conductivity and expansion coefficient, which can reduce the expansion and deformation tendency of the kiln body and reduce the The cost of heat dissipation and heat preservation of the kiln body.

4. Coal-fired glass melting furnace port ascending channel and tongue

As we all know, the service life bottleneck of the gas kiln lies in the small furnace. In the traditional design, silica bricks are used to equip the fused zirconia corundum brick tongue. Since the temperature here is lower than 1450℃, the use of silica bricks in this part is not the best choice. , this part is severely eroded, and the good anti-corrosion performance of mullite bricks can prolong the service life of this part. In addition, fused zirconia corundum bricks are used for the tongue wall. Due to their poor thermal shock stability, re-sintered fused mullite bricks may be a better choice.

5. Checker bricks for gas regenerator

The grid body of the gas regenerator currently designed is made of clay bricks, and the general service life is 3 years, which cannot meet the needs of the increasingly long kiln age. Replacing the grid bricks is not only labor-intensive, but also causes damage to other parts of the furnace. Using a certain amount of sintered mullite bricks on the top of the gas grid can increase the service life of the kiln.

6. Operating hole

Mullite bricks have good thermal stability and high temperature strength, and can be used in various operating holes of the furnace, such as observation holes, spray gun holes, air supply holes and other parts.
