Lightweight insulation bricks and clay bricks are common refractory materials in industrial kilns. They are very different in function and performance, and are used in different situations.
Lightweight insulation bricks are lightweight and porous, with low thermal conductivity. They are mainly used for insulation and saving energy, usually used in the insulation and backing layers of furnaces. However, they have low strength and cannot withstand high temperature erosion and scouring.
Clay bricks have a dense structure, high strength, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. They focus on load-bearing, erosion resistance, long-term stability, and are mainly used for the working layer directly heated by furnaces and kilns. However, their insulation performance is weak.
In short, the main purpose of lightweight insulation bricks is energy-saving insulation, while clay bricks are mainly used for load-bearing and corrosion-resistant. The two are often used together: clay bricks as the working layer and lightweight insulation bricks as the insulation layer. This balances the safety of furnace structure with energy saving and lower energy use.
