Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a refractory furnace brick (1) and to burners utilizing a grid of such bricks e.g. in blast furnaces and the like.
- Conventional blast furnace stoves utilize burners made up of successive courses of bricks, each course comprising bricks of different sizes, the courses forming overlapping grids which facilitate combustion of the furnace gases.
- Such burners are subjected to extremely high temperatures and are also impacted by solid debris which can result in failure, particularly of the smaller bricks.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a simpler construction which can overcome or alleviate at least some of the above disadvantages.
-
US 1,849,657 discloses a refractory furnace brick having a longitudinal central bore which is square in transverse cross-section. The corners of the bricks are chamfered externally but do not interlock with neighbouring bricks. -
US 2,221,416 andUS 5,954,121 each disclose a refractory furnace brick for making a two-dimensional transversely-extending grid of such bricks, the brick having a longitudinal central bore surrounded by sidewalls, the brick having a transverse cross-section in which corner regions of the junctions of the sidewalls are shaped externally to interface with external corner regions of neighbouring furnace bricks when disposed in such a grid. - An advantage of such a construction is that relatively small bricks which are correspondingly more susceptible to breakage can be eliminated. Furthermore the manufacturing requirements are simplified.
- The present invention provides a refractory furnace brick which is characterized in that the transverse cross-section of said upright central bore is substantially the same as that of each neighbouring bore defined by the spacing between opposed external brick surfaces in such a grid.
- This feature ensures that the grid openings are of a uniform size and facilitates good combustion.
- Preferably the area of said transverse cross-section of said upright central bore is within ± 20% of that of each said neighbouring bore. More preferably each dimension of said transverse cross-section of said upright central bore is within ± 10% of the corresponding dimension of said neighbouring bore.
- Preferably the interfacial regions comprise ridge portions which can interlock with the ridge portions of neighbouring bricks in said regular two dimensional grid. This feature further stabilizes the construction and obviates the requirement for cement joints.
- Preferably said corner regions are chamfered to form mating faces. The chamfering reduces the pressure at the interfacial regions, thereby reducing the risk of fracturing of the bricks, and also stabilizes the arrangement.
- Further preferred features are defined in the dependent claims.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below by way of example only with reference to
Figures 1 to 8 of the accompanying drawings, wherein: -
Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of a refractory furnace brick (1) in accordance with the invention and intended for use in the top capping course of a burner; -
Figure 2 is a perspective view from below of a further refractory furnace brick (1) in accordance with the invention which is intended for use in the capping course immediately beneath the top capping course of a burner; -
Figure 3 is a perspective view from below of the furnace brick ofFigure 1 showing one half cut away in order to reveal the longitudinal cross-section of each of the longer sidewalls; -
Figure 4 is a perspective view from below showing the top two capping courses of a burner utilizing the furnace bricks ofFigures 1 and 3 and Figure 2 ; -
Figure 5 is a diagrammatic horizontal section of either of the capping courses inFigure 4 ; -
Figure 5A is a magnified view of the interfacial region of the two furnace bricks shown inFigure 5 ; -
Figure 6 is a longitudinal diametrical cross-section through a furnace utilizing the capping courses shown inFigure 4 ; -
Figure 6A is a magnified partial view showing the gap between the outer wall of the furnace and the burner grid ofFigure 6 ; -
Figure 7 is a transverse cross-section through the upper capping course ofFigure 6 ; and -
Figure 8 is a transverse cross-section through the lower capping course ofFigure 6 . - Referring to
Figure 1 , the refractory furnace brick (1) 1 (which is suitably composed of high-alumina firebrick composition) is substantially rectangular in cross-section and has a substantially rectangular upright central bore A as shown. The two longer sidewalls have rounded ridge portions R1 which project beyond flat faces F4 at the bottom of the two shorter sidewalls. The longer sidewalls have external faces F1 which define substantially rectangular bores between the bricks when disposed in a grid as described below with reference toFigure 4 . The outer faces F2 of the shorter sidewalls constitute the other internal faces of the neighbouring bores in the grid as will become apparent fromFigure 4 . - It will be noted that the shorter sidewalls have longitudinal ridges R whose extremities are defined by faces F2. The upright longitudinal edges of these ridges enable the furnace bridge to interlock when assembled into a grid, and lie adjacent chamfered surfaces F3 at the four corners of the block which interface with the chamfered corners of neighbouring bricks as will become apparent from the discussion of
Figure 5 below. - As best seen in
Figure 3 , all four sidewalls are tapered in transverse cross-section at their upper extremities to form ridges R2 which are also shown inFigure 4 . - The refractory furnace brick (1) 2 showing in
Figure 2 is intended to be assembled into a grid supporting an upper capping course composed ofbricks 1 and it will be noted that the longer sidewalls and upper ridges r1 which are similar to ridges R1 ofbrick 1 and that the shorter sidewalls have upper end faces f4 which are similar to flat faces F4 offurnace brick 1. As will become apparent fromFigure 4 , when thefurnace bricks 1 are inverted they can be placed on thefurnace bricks 2 with the ridges R1 sitting on end faces f4 and the ridges r1 contacting the faces F4. This arrangement enables the upper capping course to be displaced horizontally relative to the lower capping course as necessary since there is no interlocking between the flat faces f4/F4 and the ridges R1/r1. The lower end portions of the sidewalls have flat faces (not shown) unlike the ridged portions of thebricks 1 since they rest on flat surfaces of a lower grid. Thebricks 2 are otherwise similar to thebricks 1, in particular by including external sidewall faces f1 and f2 which define neighoburing bores in the lower grid ofFigure 4 , by incorporating a ridge R' similar to the ridge R ofbrick 1 which ensures interlocking between neighbouring bricks and by incorporating chamfered mating surfaces f3 at the respective corners. - Turning now to
Figure 4 , it will be seen that an upper layer offurnace bricks 1 can be assembled to form a regular grid with each brick contacting neighbouring bricks as its chamfered faces F3 and at the edge portions of its ridges R, and that thebricks 2 of the lower grid similarly define a lower grid. - It will be seen that the two grids are mutually offset by half a brick width along the direction of the shorter sidewalls, enabling airstreams a and gas streams b to be bifurcated and mixed to ensure efficient combustion.
- In order to provide a distributed expansion allowance, the chamfered faces F3/f3 of the
bricks 1/2 are spaced apart by ceramic fiber pads P having a thickness e.g. 1.5 mm to 2 mm corresponding to the brick spacing as best seen inFigure 5A . These pads are relatively thin compared to the height of the ridges R, again as best seen inFigure 5A and hence do not prevent interlocking between the sides of the ridges and the faces F1/f1. -
Figure 6 shows the complete burner in cross-section, which is typically part of a blast furnace or other high temperature combustion unit. As shown inFigure 6A , a further expansion gap G is provided at the periphery of the burner grid. The tapered upper extremities of the sidewalls prevent debris from catching on the grid walls which might otherwise lock the grid openings. The tapered lower extremities of thefurnace bricks 1 facilitate a smooth gas flow through the burner assembly. - As best seen in
Figure 7 , the bores A within the interior of therespective bricks 1 are of essentially the same transverse cross-section as the bores B defined by the faces F1 and F2 of surrounding bricks. The corners of the bores A are however rounded slightly to avoid weak points at these regions. - The outer bricks are cut in half where necessary in order to provide a roughly circular shape which can be confined within the outer walls W of the burner.
-
Figure 8 shows a similar arrangement of thefurnace bricks 2 of the lower grid and again it will be seen that the bores A' are of a similar transverse cross-section to the bores B' defined by the faces f1 and f2 of surroundingbricks 2.
