CARBOFRAX Checkers provide
FASTER HEAT ABSORPTION In 75 seconds, standard 9" C A R B O F R A X silicon carbide brick absorb by conduction as much heat per degree temperature difference as same size firebrick d o in 910 seconds. Charted comparison points u p this difference. Faster heat absorption p r o v i d e s several advantages. Heating-up time is cut. Operating cycles are faster. Heat saturation is practically complete. Capacity is increased with same fuel consumption. E n o r m o u s checkerwork structures are unnecessary. Smaller regenerators can be used. Initial plant and equipment costs are slashed.
Heat conductivity 11 xo 12 times that of fireclay is the explanation. C A R B O F R A X checkers are heated thjrougfctout t a r faster. O n reversals, heat is released just as quickly. This means fewer CARlBOKRAX checkers are required. I t assures- shorter cycles with greater production. T o obtain top emcientcy through, the use of CARBOFILAX checkers, special attention t o regenerator d e s i g n is essential. The services o f our engineers a r e available for advice and assistance.
