3. Uses of Calcium Silicate Boards in Boilers

🔹 Boiler Wall Insulation

  • Used as lining materials inside boiler walls to block extreme heat, protect the furnace structure, and reduce heat dissipation.

🔹 Flue Duct Insulation

  • Installed on the inner walls of flue ducts to reduce surface temperatures, minimize heat loss, and prevent condensation on external surfaces.

🔹 Boiler Pipe Insulation

  • Used as an insulation layer for boiler piping, preventing heat loss and enhancing energy efficiency.

🔹 Boiler Shell Insulation

  • Applied to the outer shell of boilers to lower exterior temperatures, improve workplace safety, and reduce heat radiation affecting surrounding equipment.
4. Installation Guidelines for Boilers

📌 Material Selection

  • Choose the right specifications and thickness based on the boiler’s working temperature and operating conditions.

📌 Installation Process

  • Ensure the calcium silicate boards are tightly fitted to the boiler surface to avoid gaps.
  • Secure boards using high-temperature adhesives or mechanical anchors for stability.

📌 Seam Treatment

  • Fill the gaps between boards with high-temperature sealants to prevent heat leakage.

📌 Surface Protection

  • Apply a protective coating on the board surface to enhance corrosion resistance and durability.
