Texaco refractory bricks replaced with water wall
Thread Content
I’m wondering how the Texaco refractory bricks replaced by water-cooled walls in Fengxi are performing now; does anyone know anything about it?
Help the poster improve their post; I’m really eager to know… Those who know, please let me know……
It’s not ready yet! It’s almost here; some equipment doesn’t seem to have returned yet
The water wall requires refractory materials with high thermal conductivity, and water is the best refractory material. The fact that furnaces used in steel and iron production can now last for over 40 years is largely thanks to the introduction of water cooling technology, which creates a highly viscous protective layer on the surface of the refractory materials, effectively preventing damage to these materials caused by high-temperature slag/
Mainly, slag does not tend to accumulate in the upper middle part of the top-fired burner; therefore, the water walls in that upper middle area suffer severe erosion and scouring.

Using refractory bricks is indeed outdated, but it is reliable.
The impact resistance and corrosion resistance won’t be very good
Refractory bricks need to be repaired every time the furnace is shut down
Isn’t what was said upstairs too exaggerated? It has to be repaired every time
Indeed, the furnace has to be repaired every time it is shut down.
