Abstract
A new and improved apparatus and method for lining walls of furnaces, and other high temperature equipment, wherein insulating blankets are folded and supports are mounted in the folds thereof for mounting to the furnace wall to insulate the furnace. In some applications, the lining apparatus is formed into preformed insulation blocks for installation as insulating linings.
Claims8
An apparatus for lining a wall of a furnace and like equipment, comprising:
- a. a folded ceramic fiber blanket having a fold formed in a central portion thereof and having two end portions thereof folded together and extending from said fold for insulating the furnace;
- b. a support beam mounted extending along the length of said fold in said folded blanket, said folded end portions of said folded blanket also extending inwardly from said support beam to assist in insulating said support beam;
- c. a suspension arm having said support beam mounted therewith at a position on said support beam within said fold in said folded blanket;
- d. said suspension arm extending from an inner end portion in said fold through said central portion of said folded blanket to an outer end portion;
- e. an attachment beam for mounting with the wall of the furnace, said attachment beam having a mounting orifice formed therein;
- f. said suspension arm further having a mounting lug, formed at said outer end portion thereof, inserted into said mounting orifice in said attachment beam for attaching said folded blanket and said suspension arm to said attachment beam;
- and
- g. said attachment beam further having connecting openings formed therein for passage of connecting members therethrough to attach said attachment beam to the wall of the furnace wherein said folded blanket forms an insulating lining for the wall of the furnace.

An apparatus for lining a wall of a furnace and like equipment, comprising:
- a. a folded ceramic fiber blanket having a fold formed in a central portion thereof and having two end portions thereof folded together, said folded end portions extending from said fold for insulating the furnace and being held in compression to reduce vitrification and shrinkage of said blanket;
- b. a support beam mounted extending along the length of said fold in said folded blanket;
- c. a suspension arm having said support beam mounted therewith at a position on said support beam within said fold in said folded blanket;
- d. said suspension arm extending from an inner end portion in said fold through said central portion of said folded blanket to an outer end portion;
- e. an attachment beam for mounting with the wall of the furnace, said attachment beam having a mounting orifice formed therein;
- f. said suspension arm further having a mounting lug, formed at said outer end portion thereof, inserted into said mounting orifice in said attachment beam for attaching said folded blanket and said suspension arm to said attachment beam;
- and
- g. said attachment beam further having connecting openings formed therein for passage of connecting members therethrough to attach said attachment beam to the wall of the furnace wherein said folded blanket forms an insulating lining for the wall of the furnace.
