THERMBOND BURNER TILE

Thermbond refractory Group has developed a unique burner tile for flat flame radiant wall furnace applications including naptha cracking olefins and reformer units. The tile incorporated the unique physical properties of Thermbond Refractory Materials and the insulating characteristics of ceramic fiber. The thermbond tile has a dense refractory fireface to withstand the most severe furnace operating conditions and an insulating back-up lining to provide the thermal efficiencies required in modern furnaces.

	FEATURE	BENEFIT
Composite Construction	Specially formulated dense 60% alumina 3000oF. Thermbond refractory fireface with high temperature insulation back-up lining.	Lightweight thermally efficient tile with proven long term performance of Thermbond Refractory Products.
Self Supporting	Stainless steel anchoring system totally independent of surrounding furnace refractory.	Suitable for any type of new or existing furnace lining including ceramic fibre, IFB, or refractory castable walls.
Protected Anchoring System	Tile anchoring system thermally protected from elevated furnace temperatures.	Longer life of anchoring system since oxidation and thermal failure are minimized.
Easy New Installation or Retrofit	One piece design is suitable for any furnace wall thickness.	Install new or replace existing tile without concerns for disturbing or damaging furnace lining. Elimated the need for expensive mechanical support mechanisms.
Rapid Heat Up	Thermbond refractory technology allows for linear heat up rates up to 500 degrees F per hour with no holds.	Rapid heat-up increases unit productivity by reducing the time and cost required for thermal dry out of conventional dense tile.
Thermal Shock Resistant	Thermbond fireface withstands repeated thermal cycling without detremental effect.	Extended life expectancy means less maintenance and downtime resulting in increased production and profits.
Furnace Efficiency	Durable thermbond hotface refractory eliminates erosion effect and back-up linig provides thermal efficiency.	Furnace effeciency maximized by proper heat distribution to radiant tubes and less heat loss through tile.
The unique properties of the Thermbond burner tile make it a versatile replacement for dense refractory tile or composite fibre tile. Combining the best characteristics of both tile systems into the thermbond tile provides advantages not found in any other burner tile product. These advantages translate into value for the customer through easier installation, better durability, and superior thermal effeciencies.
