- According to one aspect of the invention, a furnace insulation assembly includes a main body having a generally U-shaped cross-section. The main body includes a pair of side walls. A pair of end plates are secured to opposed ends of the main body. The end plates and the main body form an interior chamber. The end plates and side walls are made of a thermal insulation material formed from carbon fibers, said carbon fibers in each end plate and side wall are oriented parallel to a with-grain plane and perpendicular to an against-grain direction. The against-grain direction of the end plates and sides walls point inwardly toward the interior chamber.

FIG. 2 is top view the furnace insulating assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the furnace insulating assembly ofFIG. 1 . - Self-supporting, thermal insulation material suited for use in furnace insulation assemblies are described herein below. The thermal insulation material may be formed by, for example, mixing a reinforcement material, such as carbonized fibers, with a liquid binder, such as a sugar solution. The reinforcement material includes carbon fibers, alone or in combination with other carbonized or carbonizable materials. In one embodiment, the fibers include isotropic pitch-based carbon fibers, either alone or mixed with other carbon fibers. In one embodiment, the at least 80% of the carbon fibers are isotropic pitch carbon fibers. In another embodiment, at least 95% of the carbon fibers are isotropic pitch carbon fibers. In still another embodiment, 100% by weight of the carbon fibers are derived from isotropic pitch. In another embodiment, the carbon fibers may be mesophase pitch based carbon fibers. In still another embodiment the carbon fibers may be carbonized rayon fibers. In still another embodiment, the carbon fibers may be carbonized PAN fibers. In still further embodiments, the insulation material may include two or more different types of carbon fibers.
- Insulation materials formed from carbon fibers according to the present method, as large sheets or boards or similar rigid insulation products, have been found to exhibit sufficient strength and insulation properties to make them well suited for high temperature furnaces.
- As used herein, the term “fibers” is intended to encompass all elongate carbon-containing reinforcement materials having a length which is at least twenty times, more preferably, at least 100 times the fiber diameter (often referred to as the aspect ratio). The carbon fibers preferably have an aspect ratio equal to or greater than 20:1, more preferably, greater than 100:1, a length of from about 2-30 mm, and a diameter of about 5-15 microns.
- The fibers are combined with a liquid binder which holds the fibers together during the subsequent processing stages. Preferred binders comprise an aqueous solution of a soluble sugar, such as a monosaccharide or disaccharide. Exemplary sugars include sucrose, fructose, dextrose, maltose, mannose glucose, galactose, UDP-galactose, and xylose, their soluble polysaccaride equivalents, and combinations thereof.
- The binder solution and fibers are mixed together in a ratio of about 10-40 parts by weight of binder solution to about 60-40 parts of fiber. In terms of sugar (i.e., not including the water) a preferred ratio is from 20-80% by weight sugar: 80-20% by weight fibers, most preferably, about 40% by weight sugar: 60% by weight fibers. For sucrose, which has a carbon yield of about 35%, this ratio results in a product (after baking described herein below) having about 14% of carbonized sugar and 86% fibers by weight. Preferably, the carbonized sugar content of the product is between about 10% and about 20% by weight. If the carbonized sugar is too low, the integrity of the final product may be compromised. As the concentration of carbonized sugar increases, the density tends to increase, increasing the thermal conductivity of the material and rendering it less well suited for thermal insulation applications.
- The fibers of the insulation material used in the furnace insulation assembly described herein below are not randomly aligned, but are generally randomly arranged parallel to a with-grain plane (i.e. perpendicular to the against-grain direction) in each insulation assembly piece. At least 60 percent, more advantageously 80 percent, and even more advantageously 90 percent of the fibers are substantially parallel to the with-grain plane. This fiber alignment may be achieved by, for example pouring a mixture of fibers and binder into a form or mold fitted with a filter at one end and removing excess binder by gravity or a vacuum source. In this manner, the fibers build up on the filter and when the desired thickness is achieved, the fibers and remaining binder are removed as a pre-form.
- For higher density products, light pressure may be applied to the pre-form, either during filtration or during a subsequent heating step, although excessive pressure can compromise the insulative properties of the finished product. Preferably, the pressure, if applied, does not result in a final density of the insulation product of more than about 0.5 g/cm3.
- The pre-form may be heated to a temperature of about 200° C. to 300° C. to drive off water from the binder solution. It is also contemplated that the filtering step may be eliminated and that the mixture simply be heated, first to drive off excess water and later in the heating process, to convert the remaining sugar to a polymeric form.
- The pre-form is then carbonized at a final temperature of about 900° C. to about 2000° C. in an inert (non-oxidizing) atmosphere, such as argon to remove all (or substantially all) oxygen and hydrogen and produce a carbonized article in the desired shape. The carbonization temperature is selected according to the end use of the casting and is generally above the highest temperature to which the casting is to be subjected in use. This reduces the chance for out-gassing during use.
- The resulting carbonized article comprises primarily carbon (i.e., at least 95% carbon, more preferably, at least 98% carbon, most preferably, greater than 99.5% carbon) and has a density of typically less than about 1 g/cm3, preferably less than 0.5 g/cm3, more preferably less than 0.3 g/cm3, which is suitable for thermal insulation. The article is sectioned or machined to an appropriate size as will be described hereinbelow.
- The insulation articles produced by the above method are well suited to use at temperatures of 1500-2000° C., or higher. The insulation material has a low density of 0.1 to 0.40 g/cm3, more preferably, from 0.15-0.25 g/cm3, and a thermal conductivity in the against-grain direction (i.e. perpendicular to the plane of orientation of the fibers) of less than about 0.4 W/m° K, more preferably less than about 0.3 W/m° K and even more preferably less than about 0.2 W/m° K. In this or other embodiments, the thermal conductivity may be from between about 0.15 to about 0.2 W/m° K. (All thermal conductivities are measured in air at 25° C., unless otherwise noted). The thermal conductivity in the with-grain direction (i.e. parallel to the plane of orientation of the fibers) is relatively higher than the against-grain direction. In one embodiment the ratio of against-grain thermal conductivity to with-grain thermal conductivity is less that about 0.6. In other embodiments, the ratio of against-grain thermal conductivity to with-grain thermal conductivity is less than about 0.5. In other embodiments, the ratio of against-grain thermal conductivity to with-grain thermal conductivity is less than about 0.42. In other embodiments the ratio of against-grain thermal conductivity to with-grain thermal conductivity is from between about 0.2 and about 0.8. In still other embodiments the ratio of against-grain thermal conductivity to with-grain thermal conductivity is from between about 0.3 and about 0.5. In this or other embodiments, the with-grain thermal conductivity may be greater than about 0.3 W/m° K. In other embodiments the with-grain thermal conductivity may be from between about 0.3 to about 1 W/m° K. In other embodiments, the with-grain thermal conductivity may be from between about 0.3 to about 0.5 W/m° K.
- Further, high strength levels, greater than 150 psi, are readily obtained in such low density products.
- With reference now to
FIGS. 1-3 , a furnace insulation assembly according to the present invention is shown and generally indicated by the numeral 10.Insulation assembly 10 includes three separate parts including amain body 12 and a pair ofend plates main body 12 is in the form of an elongated rectangle having a longitudinal length approximately two times the height and width thereof. It should be appreciated however that thebody 12 length shown and described is merely exemplary and may be shorter or longer depending on the application. Thebody portion 12 includes generally U-shaped cross-section that forms achamber 16. As can be seen from the figures,chamber 16 may include various surface features, notches or channels as may be required for the heating and substrate elements (not shown) that are received therein. - A
first end 18 of themain body 12 is open and asecond end 20 includes awall section 22. As can be seen, the with-grain plane ofmain body 12 runs along the length and height thereof. This configuration is advantageous because the thermal conductivity described hereinabove of the insulating material is relatively lower in the against-grain direction (labeled the Z direction in the figures). Therefore, thelongitudinal side walls 24 are oriented to provide maximum insulative effect. Put another way, theside walls 24 include two opposed major surfaces and the Z direction is oriented perpendicular to the major surfaces. -
End plates main body 12 respectively. End plates 14 may be secured tomain body 12 via any appropriate means including, but not limited to, adhesives, mechanical fasteners or combinations thereof. As can be seen, the with-grain plane of end plates 14 runs along the width and height of the insulation assembly. As discussed above, this configuration is advantageous because the end plates 14 are oriented to provide maximum insulative effect. In this manner, theside walls 24 and end walls 14 are oriented so that the against-grain direction of each part points inwardly towardinterior chamber 16. Thus, the maximum insulative property of the insulation material is obtained. - The above described insulation assembly is particularly applicable for use in a string ribbon puller for the solar industry. However, the assembly may be used in other solar and silicon based applications requiring improved energy efficiency. It should further be appreciated that, though the above described embodiment disclosed a three-piece insulation assembly, more than three pieces might be employed, for a separate piece might be used for each exterior facing wall and arranged such that the against-grain direction for each wall points inwardly toward the chamber.
- The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.
