The service life of glass kilns in glass kiln projects is related to the raw materials of refractory materials.
Prioritizing the use of high-grade refractory materials is definitely beneficial to the service life. First, select appropriate materials according to the design life, especially select refractory materials of different materials according to different parts. The service life is also a big factor with the reasonable and normal maintenance of the manufacturer. In particular, the timely treatment of the reddening of the furnace body and the seepage of brick joints by the manufacturer is one of the ways to extend the life of the kiln.
Usually, the service life of the kiln refers to the cold furnace overhaul period, and during this time, small-scale hot repairs can be carried out, such as the commonly used methods of brick patching, tiling, forced cooling, etc. To improve the life of the kiln, it is also necessary to strictly follow the technology and thermal system of the electric melting furnace for production operations, avoid multiple power outages and water outages, avoid large fluctuations in output value, avoid frequent material changes, and avoid improper management. The structure of the glass kiln also affects the service life.
Different formulas are suitable for different furnace types, mainly considering the corrosion of refractory materials by forced convection of glass in the electric melting furnace. By designing appropriate structures, ensuring the refractory materials in various parts, especially the corrosion resistance of lining bricks, is an important factor in ensuring the life of the electric melting furnace. The material is also one of the factors affecting the life of the kiln.
Different materials have different impacts on electric melting bricks and electrodes. For example, the service life of ordinary soda-lime glass electric melting furnaces is long, while the service life of kilns containing titanium, barium, and fluoride is short.
