Processes of forming or repairing a structure for use in high temperature applications may include intermixing a sodium nitrite (NaNO.sub.2) additive with a refractory material; and applying the refractory material to a structure surface.

A graphite-containing refractory has higher bending strength and fracture energy than known refractories. The graphite-containing refractory has a graphite content of 1% to 80% by mass. 1000 to 300000 carbon fibers with a fiber diameter of 1 to 45 m/fiber are bundled. The carbon fiber bundle has a length of 100 mm or more and is placed within the graphite-containing refractory to form the same.

Refractory tile systems for covering an internal wall of a high temperature furnace or boiler are described. The systems may comprise a base tile having a front face and a back face, and a shielding tile having a front face and a back face. The back face of the base tile may comprise one or more attachment points for mounting the base tile to the internal wall using an anchoring system, wherein the shielding tile is equipped with a protrusion along a first side, extending from the back face of the shielding tile and adapted to stably arrange the shielding tile in a suspended position from the base tile when mounted to the internal wall, and an overhang along a second side opposite the first side and extending from the front side of the shielding tile, such that in a mounted position, the overhang partially covers an adjacent shielding tile.

A reinforced refractory container having a cast refractory container which includes a sidewall defining an interior volume, the sidewall having inner and outer surfaces, the container cast from a castable refractory composition, and a wound, continuous fiber tensile reinforcement structure integrated with the container sidewall. A method of fabricating the reinforced refractory container is also provided.

The present invention relates to a process of making power-saving electric stoves, particularly having a large size and outer shapes similar to the conformations of traditional Tyrolean heaters or stoves, while having a very light weight and being easily movable to multiple locations of a house. The main characteristic of the present invention is that it includes making a hollow stove body, particularly having a large size, from expanded polystyrene or a similar thermoplastic polymer, with the application of an electric resistor, particularly a constant-power, and hence low-power consuming heating cable arranged around its outer surface in one or more coil loops with the interposition of a layer of adhesive material with at least one thread formed therein for supporting the resistor, with contiguous insulating grooves, and with later application of a final coating layer, made e.g. of tire-resistant cement mortar, whose outer surface may be provided with decorative designs or finishes and ornaments made of wood or other materials, which designs and ornaments may be similar to those formed on the outer surfaces of traditional Tyrolean stoves, whereas the basement of the hollow body is preferably supported by a smooth metal plate, allowing displacement thereof to any location of the house, proximate to a power outlet.

The present invention specifically relates to equipment and a method for preparing an aerogel thermal insulation mortar for a high-temperature kiln thereof. The equipment comprises a top box, a support frame platform, a processing mechanism, an agitation mechanism, a receiving mechanism and a docking mechanism, wherein the top box is provided with a partition frame capable of dividing an inner space thereof into a first material discharge cavity, a second material discharge cavity, a third material discharge cavity and a fourth material discharge cavity respectively; the receiving mechanism is mounted on an inner top of the support frame platform and docked with the top box; the docking mechanism is mounted on the receiving mechanism; an inner bottom of the support frame platform is provided with a collection box; one side of the top box is provided with a door panel.

A refractory unit for lining a high temperature vessel includes a refractory body formed from a refractory material. The refractory body has an upper main surface, a lower main surface, an inner surface configurable to face a high temperature chamber, an outer surface configurable to face away from the high temperature chamber, a first side surface and a second side surface. An elastic member is attached to the outer surface.

The present disclosure relates to a furnace comprising: a plurality of groupings, wherein each grouping in the furnace is adjacent to each other and separated by a gap, wherein each grouping comprises: (a) one row of tubes and optionally additional rows of tubes comprising a plurality of tubes containing a catalyst for converting a gaseous feed, wherein each row of tubes is parallel to each other; (b) at least two rows of burners comprising having a first and second row of outer burners and optionally additional rows of burners comprising a plurality of burners, and as described herein, (c) wherein the plurality of burners within each grouping is configured such that the ratio of B/G is greater than 1.3 and the ratio of B/W is less than 1.3, wherein W, B and G are as defined herein.
