The wear-resistant furnace door cooling hose is a flexible connector used for conveying cooling water to furnace doors in steel mills, glass plants and foundries. It resists high temperatures and splashes of white-hot molten metal or glass.
Overheating can be a problem with furnaces. This can be caused by an obstruction in the flue pipe or a lack of airflow. It can also be caused by unlubricated motor bearings, which need to be oiled periodically to keep them from grinding and making noise.
dimensions and specifications of abrasion-resistant furnace door cooling hose
The wear-resistant furnace cooling hose is used to deliver water to the furnace door in steel mills and glass plants. It is available with Nomex or Fiberglass cover and is non-conductive on electrical furnaces. It is able to withstand heat, open flames and splashes of white hot metal up to +575 deg. F (+302 deg. C).
Salem Republic manufactures fiberglass hoses that can handle radiant heat, open fires, and harsh environments found in melting shops. The heat resistant SUPERGLASS hoses are made with a 2-ply cover of fiberglass for long-lasting durability.
The tube and cover are also available in different compounds to increase resistance to abrasion and other materials such as chemicals, oil, and other materials. A vulcanized spiral bumper along specific portions of the hose minimizes damage to hose covers.
A wide range of sizes are available with a choice of end configurations including stainless steel swaged on fittings, soft cuffs or on-site distributor coupling attachments. The nipple on these hoses has a retaining band bonded to the hose for maximum holding power.
Abrasion-resistant, nonconductive hose for cooling water in steel and foundry applications that withstands radiant heat, open flames, and molten slag. It is available in a 2-ply cover of fiberglass for a longer-lasting durability than Nomex(r), or single-ply fiberglass hoses.
Wear-resistant furnace door cooling tube damage
There are a number of problems that can cause your heating system not to work. These include: faulty flame sensors, overheated motors and dirty air filters. These issues can be easily prevented with simple maintenance.
One of the most important is to have a reliable furnace maintenance schedule, which can be accomplished by having a technician inspect your unit on a regular basis. This will allow you to identify problems and fix them before they become bigger ones, saving you time and money.
In addition, if you’re looking to save money and the environment in the process, consider installing energy-efficient upgrades like LED lighting or solar panels. These products can lower your utility bills each year by hundreds of dollars, while reducing your carbon footprint.
It is a good thing to call a professional if you have a problem with your furnace. They can perform a series tests to determine the exact issue and suggest the best solutions.
The main raw materials used to make the wear-resistant furnace cooling hose
Insulation and refractory materials are the main raw materials in the manufacture of the wear-resistant furnace cooling hose. The latter can be either bulky fibers such as rock and slag wool or cellulose, rigid foam boards or sleek foils.
Insulation materials are primarily used to resist the transfer of both conductive and convective heat. Bulky fibers such as rock and slag fiber, cellulose and natural fibers trap gas or air to reduce convective flow of heat, while rigid foam board prevents conductive or conduction.
In most cases, thermal conductivity is what determines if an insulation material can be inserted in a building cavity. Rigid foam boards can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, while sleek foils are available in a range of thicknesses to provide a high degree of radiant reflectance and reflect heat away from the building cavity.
The refractory material of the wear-resistant furnace door cooling hose must be resistant to both the highest thermal loads and abrasive scrap that can strike the panels during furnace charging. In this case, a minimum wall thickness is needed to maximize the refractory’s resistance to thermal cycling and minimize the risk of pipe denting or rupturing.
