Industrial kilns are high-energy-consumption equipment, with heat dissipation from kiln walls, kiln tops, etc., accounting for over 50% of total heat loss. Thermal insulation refractory materials are the core means for energy conservation. In the global market, lightweight and low-thermal-conductivity ceramic fiber materials have become the mainstream choice.
Relying on their low thermal conductivity, ceramic fiber products (such as ceramic fiber blankets and modules; for product details, please visit https://vuulcaninsulation.com/ceramic-fiber-products/) can significantly reduce heat loss, lowering the heat loss rate of kilns by more than 30%. Rare earth-modified ceramic fibers can even improve energy utilization efficiency by over 10%. Meanwhile, the lightweight design of the materials reduces heat storage load and shortens the heating and cooling time, further achieving energy conservation.
From an industry-specific perspective, the thermal efficiency of iron and steel kilns can be increased by 20%, with energy consumption per ton of steel reduced by 10%; the cement industry can save 0.5 tons of standard coal per ton of product annually; and the production cycle of ceramic enterprises can be shortened by 10%. Driven by the “dual carbon” goals, such materials not only reduce enterprise costs but also promote the green transformation of the industrial sector.
