Definitions

  • This invention relates to an insulation for furnace members, particularly to the type utilizing a spring-clip for attachment to the member.
  • the primary object of the instant invention is to provide a spring-clip type of insulation which is easy to install and has longer service life than any presently available.
  • an improved insulation is provided for internally cooled furnace members.
  • the product includes a generally C-shaped metal spring-clip substantially all of the inner surface of which is designed for making intimate contact with the exterior surface of the furnace member. This assures proper cooling of the clip itself and retention of its spring-like properties.
  • the clip has inwardly protruding end portions partially closing its interior opening. The spacing between these end portions is intentionally made significantly less than the cross sectional dimension of the furnace member at the location to be abutted by the_, clip. This assures proper spring action after the clip is spread open for insertion transversely over, and on to the periphery, of the member.
  • the springiness of the clip itself and the spacing just mentioned are correlated so as to permit both 1) spreading of the clip for insertion, and 2) retention of it at elevated furnace temperatures by continued spring action.
  • the clip has a plurality of spaced outwardly extending projections, and at least two circumferentially segmented refractory tiles formed on its outer surface covering the projections.
  • forming we refer to either conventional casting or pressing -techniques. It is important that the tiles be so formed as to completely cover the surface of the projections and thus be joined thereby to the clip so as to withstand furnace vibration.
  • the tiles are spaced apart at adjacent ends remote from the C-opening, sufficiently to prevent their abutment when the clip is spread for insertion.
  • An important feature of the invention is that, prior to formation of the tiles on the clip, an organic lubricant coating is applied to the outer clip surface.
  • the lubricant prevents bonding of the tiles to the clip and excessive adhesion thereto.
  • the lubricant preferably is of petroleum base and may be, for example, automotive grease.
  • an insert is provided where it is desired to cover the entire periphery of the furnace member.
  • the insert includes a metal clip, also having spaced.outward projections, and a refractory tile formed thereon. Since the insert is not required to flex for insertion no lubricant coating is required.
  • the invention also provides a method for making insulation for furnace members. It includes forming a generally C-shaped metal spring-clip with spaced projections extending outwardly from it.
  • the clip is of heat-treatable steel composition and the method includes heat treatment of the clip to Rockwell C 45/55 aim 50 after forming.
  • An organic lubricant is applied to the outer clip surface prior to formation of refractory tiles covering the projections.
  • the tiles are formed by either casting or pressing, in either case making intimate contact with and covering the projections. After this the tiles are cured by conventional methods to dry them.
  • a method is provided for making a spring-clip type insulation which can be installed as a unit on the furnace member.
  • the product of this invention includes spring-clip 10 having projections 12 on which refractory tiles 14, 16 are formed. It is essential that the clip have sufficient springiness to remain attached to member 17 (shown in Figure 3) at service temperature in the furnace. Where used on water cooled verticals, cross supports and skid pipes in steel slab reheating furnaces, it is important that .substantially all of the inner.surface of clip 10 maintain contact with the pipe so that the clip will remain cool and not lose spring action. Desirably, a heat treatable steel composition is used for the clip material so that it may be formed readily then austenit- ized, quenched and tempered to achieve desired springiness. Either SAE 1050 steel or 410 stainless steel are examples of compositions which may be used.
  • Projections 12 serve to lock the tiles so that they will remain attached to the clip. It is desirable that they be of stainless steel (AISI Type 304 for example) so as to resist oxidation by the furnace atmosphere. A V-shape is preferred for best locking action.
  • the prongs of V-projections 12' remote from clip opening 13 preferably lie in a plane normal to the axis of the pipe 17 (see Figure 1 or 3).
  • the tiles may be of any refractory composition suitable for the temperatures to which they will be exposed in the furnaces.
  • the invention is limited to tiles which are formed by casting or pressing ofparticulates, into a mold so as to be formed directly on to and covering the projections.
  • Refractory of sufficient thermal resistance must be used to protect the clip.
  • Adequate spacing 18 must be provided between the tiles at their adjacent lower ends as shown to permit spreading of the clip for insertion without abutment and breakage of the tile sections.
  • An essential feature of the present invention is that prior to forming the tiles, an organic lubricant coating is applied to the outer surface of clip 10. This prevents adhesion and reduces the coefficient of friction between the tile and the clip.
  • the clip when the clip is spread for insertion on to the pipe, it may flex without breaking the tiles.
  • the tiles remain joined to the clip since they are formed directly on to and locked in place by projections 12.
  • any organic lubricant or other conventional mold parting compound may be used, we prefer a petroleum base material such as automotive grease.
  • an insert 20 is provided as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • a metal clip 22 is provided of circular segmental shape and has spaced projections 24, 26.
  • Refractory tile 28 is formed covering the projections so as to be joined to the clip. It will be quite apparent that insert clip 22 need not have the springiness which is essential for clip 10.
  • Clip 22 has a dimple or button-like projection 27, ( Figures 2 and 5) protruding from its opposite ends for engaging mateable slots 29, ( Figure 4) in adjoining ends of spring clip 10. The total assembly is shown in Figure 3 mounted on pipe 17.
  • Ceramic fiber blanket 32 is used to partially fill the space between tiles 14 and 16, and air-set mortar is used to fully close the joint and remains locked in place by grooves 34, 36 adjacent to the outer tile surfaces.
  • Mateable step-joints 38, 40 which are sealed with refractory cement are provided on adjacent edges of tiles 14, 16 and insert tile 28. These mortared steps are essential for providing protection of the exposed portions of the clips from the furnace atmosphere and temperature. When the insulation is used on skid pipes, thus not permitting use of an insert for complete covering of the pipe, the exposed parts of the spring clip are covered by air-set refractory cement.
  • the insulation is made first by rolling or forming a band to a shape and of dimensions closely conforming to that of the member on which it is to be mounted. Then, either as a separate step or part of the initial forming operation, the opposed ends of the clip are crimped to an intentionally and significantly smaller spacing than the cross sectional distance of the location to be abutted by those ends on the pipe or member on which the clip is to be mounted. This distance will depend on the springiness of the clip itself and other factors e.g. pipe diameter etc. For a 5-1/2 inch (14cm) pipe covered 270° of its circumference we crimp from a normal spacing of 4-1/2 inches (1 1 -4cm) to anywhere from 3-1/2 - 3-5/8 inches (8 ⁇ 9 - 9 ⁇ 2cm ) .
  • the clip is heat treated by austenitizing at about 1650°F (899 °C), water or oil quenching as indicated and then tempering between 400-1000 o F (204 - 538 °C) to attain a Rockwell C hardness of 50.
  • an essential feature involves applying an organic lubricant to outer surface 42 of clip 10. A mold is then placed around the clip and refractory material cast or pressed in place covering the projections. Finally, the refractory is cured by drying in conventional fashion forming an insulation which'can be easily mounted on furnace members.
  • the invention would seemingly work quite well on support members of other than circular shape for example triangular, trapezoidal, or rectangular with side indentations.
  • the only requirements would be that the member have sufficient indentation in its cross section to permit gripping action of a spring-clip thereon, and that the member have corners of sufficiently large curvature that the clip can tightly engage those areas to remain cooled by the member itself where it is used in high temperature environments.
  • many different materials might be used for the spring-clip provided it has sufficient springiness to remain in position under the service conditions of the particular application. The furnace temperature, atmosphere and degree of vibration may be important factors in selection of the material.
  • projections other than V-shape would presumably work.
