Is it feasible to design a high-temperature furnace next to the distribution room, with the wall being a hollow brick wall?

Thread Content

The high-temperature furnace is intended to be installed next to the distribution room; the wall between them is a hollow brick wall. The furnace operates at 1600°C and is equipped with an insulation layer. The temperature at the site is above 30°C, the total installation capacity of the power distribution room is 600 KW, and one of the entrances to the power distribution room faces the high-temperature furnace. Is the main design reasonable? Is it safe to run in the long term? I earnestly ask the master for guidance.

You need to check the latest fire codes for this. Normally, this temperature is similar to room temperature, and since the total capacity of your power distribution room isn’t large, if the house is spacious enough, there’s no need to worry about heat dissipation at all. Do you use an electric stove, a coal stove, or a gas stove? If the high-temperature furnace area is a explosion-proof zone, the power distribution room and the high-temperature furnace should also be separated by an explosion-proof wall

Thank you for your guidance, master. This furnace may be leaking the flammable gas hydrogen. The power distribution room is quite spacious, but the temperature inside it is very high, much higher than that in office areas; people cannot stay there for long periods of time. Staying near the furnace for a short while can cause sweating and a burning sensation on the cheeks.

Hydrogen requires IIC-type explosion protection, as it is quite dangerous. First, check the fire codes to see the fire separation requirements. In a power distribution room, the main considerations are explosion prevention and heat dissipation; once these two issues are addressed, there are no problems.

Thank you for your guidance, master. Is the fire code a standard for building fire safety? Is it the building code mentioned?

GB 50016-2014 \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\"; it is advisable to check whether there are any fire protection codes specific to your industry, and if not, you can refer to this code.

I don’t think this is feasible; high-temperature furnaces pose a risk of hydrogen leakage. An explosion-proof wall must be installed between the power distribution room and the boiler room. The so-called hollow walls won’t work, and it’s not allowed to have doors that lead from the power distribution room to the boiler room.
