Reduction of energy consumption rate by using insulation block construction method
Heat is lost from a furnace in a number of ways. With a conventional refractory configuration, the amount of heat lost is 5,376 kcal/m2・hr. Using the new refractory insulation block construction method “KSB Construction Method”, the amount of heat lost is 1,097kcal/m2・hr, a reduction rate of roughly 80%. This is a reduction equivalent to the energy consumption rate of 4.0kg-CO2/t-st.

・Calculations based on steady heat conduction calculations assuming a temperature of 1280℃ inside the furnace.
・Calculated as combustion using coke-oven gas as fuel.
Of the heat lost from the furnace, the loss from water cooling in the skid pipe accounts for 10% of its total heat loss. Insulation block construction allows for the removal of metal studs, and the application of insulating castables can significantly reduce heat loss.
