Refractory anchor assembly and method for installing the same

A system for anchoring refractory materials to a vessel wall within a vessel, the system comprising:

• a plurality of anchor assemblies arranged in an array, wherein the plurality of anchor assemblies are secured to the vessel wall, wherein each anchor assembly comprising:
• a base pin assembly;
• and
• at least one anchor leg connected to and extending from the base pin assembly,
• wherein the base pin assembly having a mounting end formed on one end of the pin assembly adapted for securing the base pin assembly to the vessel, wherein the mounting end having an electrical resistance contact point formed thereon.

A method of mounting an anchor assembly for anchoring refractory materials to a vessel wall within a vessel, the method comprising:

• providing at least one anchor assembly, wherein each anchor assembly includes a base pin assembly, and at least one anchor leg connected to and extending from the base pin assembly, wherein the base pin assembly having a mounting end formed on one end of the pin assembly adapted for securing the base pin assembly to the vessel, wherein the mounting end having an electrical resistance contact point formed thereon;
• locating the mounting end of the at least one anchor assembly on the vessel wall such that the electrical resistance contact point is contacting the vessel wall;
• and
• securing the mounting end of the at least one anchor assembly on the vessel wall by welding the mounting end to the vessel wall using electrical resistance welding.
