| Z - B l o k™ 3 side-fix modules are convoluted blanket
modules which combine the excellent thermal
characteristics and proven service performance of
Thermal Ceramics' Z-Bloks with the ease of installation
and versatility of the T-Bar anchoring system.
They are made from high quality spun-fibre Blanket, folded
and pre - c o m p ressed to a specified density, and held in
position with 2 stainless steel tubes, mounted transversely
within the module. The modules can be supplied
encapsulated in plastic film, which ensures dust levels are
kept to a minimum during installation. During installation,
the modules are further compressed, the resilience of the
f i b re and recovery after the restraining bands are r e m o v e d
ensuring tightly-compressed inter-modular joints. TYPE Convoluted blanket anchored modules. MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS USE TEMPERATURE Kaowool S/Cerablanket: 1260°C Kaowool SZr/Cerachem Blanket: 1425°C Cerachrome Blanket: 1425°C The maximum continuous use temperature depends on the application. In case of doubt, refer to your local Thermal Ceramics distributor for advice. FEATURES The Z-Blok 3 module offers several advantages to both the furnace constructor and the end-user. - The Z-Blok 3 module maintains the light weight, thermal efficiency and resistance to thermal shock characteristics of ceramic fibre linings. - The decompression of the blanket folds gives tightly sealed inter-modular joints. - The resilience of the blanket can accommodate some flexure of the furnace casing without opening gaps between modules. - The unique T-Bar fixing system is exceptionally simple and quick to install. - The resilient blanket is resistant to mechanical damage. - Where damage occurs, individual modules can be easily replaced. - It is versatile and the modules can easily be cut, on site to suit awkward configurations. - The anchor system is buried inside the module and close to the casing. The metal components are therefore maintain at low temperature. - The ASTM 316 stainless steel has a high corrosion resistance and maintains its creep strength to a relatively high temperature. - The system ensures that the fibre is pulled back into intimate contact with the furnace casing or any substrate with no bridging of irregularities, thus eliminating convective heat transfer behind the lining. - The system readily adapts to include vapour barriers and backing blankets. |
