How to choose the thickness of ceramic fiber blanket?
Ceramic fiber blanket is a highly effective thermal insulation material widely used in high-temperature industrial equipment. Choosing the right thickness can not only improve the thermal insulation effect, but also optimize the cost. This article will give you a detailed introduction on how to choose the thickness of ceramic fiber blanket according to the equipment temperature, and recommend APEX's thermal calculator as an auxiliary tool.
Basic characteristics of ceramic fiber blanket
Ceramic fiber blanket is made of high-purity alumina and silicate fiber, with excellent high temperature resistance and thermal insulation effect. Its thickness selection directly affects the thermal insulation effect and equipment operation efficiency.
How to choose the thickness of ceramic fiber blanket?
When choosing the thickness of the ceramic fiber blanket, you first need to consider the maximum operating temperature of the equipment. The thermal calculator provided by APEX can recommend the optimal thickness based on the equipment temperature (400-1200°C). The following are several key factors in choosing thickness:
1. Equipment temperature range
Different temperature ranges require different thicknesses of ceramic fiber blankets. For example, a 400°C to 600°C device may only require a 25mm thick blanket, while a 1000°C to 1200°C device may require a 50mm or thicker blanket.
2. Insulation requirements
The higher the insulation requirement, the greater the thickness required. APEX's thermal calculator can accurately calculate the required thickness based on specific insulation requirements.
3. Cost Optimization
Choosing the right thickness not only improves insulation but also optimizes costs. A blanket that is too thick will increase material costs, while a blanket that is too thin may not meet insulation needs.
in conclusion
Choosing the right thickness of ceramic fiber blanket is the key to improving the thermal insulation effect of equipment and optimizing costs. With APEX's thermal calculator, you can easily find the optimal thickness to ensure efficient operation of the equipment.
