Abstract

A procedure for lining spaces with high temperatures, in which the surfaces of the space are lined with fibrous lining material in which the fibers are mainly parallel with planes at right angles against the surface of the space. In the procedure, loose, separate, plate-like fiber strips (1) are used which are disposed side-by-side relative to each other in an installation position to form a transport/application package (2). A fixing compound (3) is applied as a layer upon the edges of the side-by-side strips advantageously over the whole area of one strip layer (4) of the transport/application package. From the package is taken a suitable bunch of strips treated with fixing compound, this bunch being pressed onto the surface of the space at the point of installation and compressed to suitable compactness. The whole surface to be treated is lined, one bunch at a time with fiber strips treated with fixing compound, the bunches being of suitable size depending on the size and shape of the object of installation.

Dependent claims

A process for lining a surface defining a space in which high temperatures are present, said method comprising the steps of:

forming a plurality of plate-shaped, fiber batts (1) suitable for comprising incremental portions of the surface lining, each of the batts having a pair of spaced side surfaces with edge surfaces extending between said side surfaces around the perimeter of the batt, the fibers of the batt lying generally parallel to the side surfaces of the batt;
arranging pluralities of the fiber batts to form parallelepipedal transport/application packages (2), the batts of each package being arranged and retained in side-by-side relation with the side surfaces of the batts abutting to form at least one row of batts;
applying a fixing compound (3) to a package of batts, the fixing compound being applied to the exposed edge surfaces of the batts lying in one of the exterior planes of the parallelepipedal transport/application package;
dividing and removing from a package a portion of the row of batts, said portion comprising a plurality of contiguous batts the number of which is selected in accordance with the configuration of a portion of the surface to be lined;
pressing the edge surfaces of the removed batts containing the fixing compound on the portion of the surface being lined to adhere the batts to the portion of the surface being lined with the side surfaces of the batts positioned at generally right angles to the surface being lined, the removed batts forming incremental portions of the surface lining;
and
repeating the applying and pressing steps, as well as the dividing and removing steps as required, until the surface is lined with the plate-shaped fiber batts.
