SM6134 Silica Checker Brick

Silica Checker Brick Description

Silica Checker Brick is a high-quality refractory brick primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), specifically designed for use in regenerative furnaces such as coke ovens, hot blast stoves, glass furnaces, and other industrial kilns that require efficient heat retention and recovery. These bricks feature a unique checkerboard structure that maximizes the surface area for heat exchange, making them ideal for enhancing the thermal efficiency of furnaces.

Silica Checker Brick Applications

• Hot Blast Stoves: Used as a regenerator to preheat blast air for blast furnaces in steel production. The checker brick alternates between heating and cooling phases to store and release heat efficiently.
• Coke Ovens: Utilised in the regeneration chambers of coke ovens, where they assist in recovering heat from exhaust gases to improve energy efficiency.
• Glass Furnaces: Employed for heat recovery in the regenerator sections to enhance the efficiency of glass melting processes.
• Other Industrial Kilns: They are used in various kilns where heat recovery is essential, such as in non-ferrous metal production and ceramic kilns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Silica Checker Brick?

Silica Checker Brick is a type of lightweight refractory brick primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). These bricks provide excellent thermal insulation in high-temperature environments, such as furnaces, kilns, and ovens.

Q2: What sizes and shapes are available for Silica Checker Bricks?

Silica Checker Bricks are available in various standard sizes and shapes (e.g., rectangular, wedge-shaped, arch-shaped). Custom sizes and shapes can be manufactured upon request to meet specific application requirements.

Q3: How do Silica Checker Bricks differ from other refractory bricks?

Silica Checker Bricks exhibit lower thermal conductivity and superior temperature cycling resistance compared to many other refractory bricks, making them suitable for applications where both high-temperature performance and insulation are critical. However, they are less resistant to basic (alkaline) slags than some other refractory materials.
