Regenerator enclosure wall

What consequences can occur when the sealing of the regenerator walls is poor and there is severe air leakage? Is the regenerator temperature rising or falling?

If the walls of the heat storage chamber are not properly sealed and there is severe air leakage, it can lead to the following consequences: 1. The suction force in the corresponding carbonization chamber decreases. 2. Heating from the top of the carbonization chamber is not feasible. 3. The temperature of the regenerator decreases. 4. If not addressed in a timely manner, over time this will gradually cause damage to the grid bricks or even their collapse, resulting in increased resistance.
Question: Point 3 states that the temperature in the regenerator decreases, and point 4 says this can cause damage to the grid bricks. Can grid bricks be damaged even when the temperature is low? I know that high temperatures can melt the grid bricks, but how can low temperatures damage them?
When air flows through the regenerator chamber, cold air leaks in in large quantities through the gaps in the walls; the grid bricks being subjected to rapid heating and cooling over time will surely get damaged.
