Features
01. Reduction of Radiant Heat
With insulation performance equivalent to ceramic fiber, it contributes to energy savings in various industrial furnaces. Achieves advanced energy-saving performance without containing any refractory ceramic fiber (RCF).
02. High Heat Resistance
Products are available for use in high temperature zones up to 1700°C.
03. Long-Term Insulation Performance
Delivers long-term insulation performance that was not possible with ceramic fiber.
Long-Term Insulation Stability (Measured Data from Actual Furnace Using Thermotracer)
The diagram shows the surface temperature of Asahi Caster TMT Series represented by color.
The blue color, indicating low temperature, is maintained over long periods.
Data
Compared to conventional insulating monolithic refractory products, “TMT” offers significantly improved insulation performance.
「TMT」“TMT” products are available in three grades.
“TMT” products include both monolithic refractory products and board-type products (ultra-insulation grade).
Energy Saving Performance (Estimates for Various Industrial Furnaces)
1. Radiant heat per unit area was calculated using steady-state heat conduction heat transfer calculations.
2. Annual operating hours were set uniformly at 23h/day × 365 days = 8,395h/year, considering maintenance periods.
3. The reduction in radiant heat for steel reheating furnaces (skid pipes) was calculated based on cooling water temperature.
4. The above are estimates for typical plants.
