Checker bricks are a heat storage carrier used in thermal equipment. They are mainly used in the middle and upper parts of the regenerator of hot blast furnaces to store heat. In the process of heating cold air into hot air, the regenerator is the most important part of the hot blast furnace, so the checker bricks are also critical.

According to the technical requirements of different temperature zones, high alumina bricks, siliceous checker bricks, and clay bricks are generally used. In some hot blast stoves, mullite bricks, and sillimanite bricks are also selected.

How to choose checker bricks?

The selection of checker bricks has a great influence on the operation of the hot blast stove. The working effect and heat transfer efficiency of the regenerator are closely related to the size, shape, and brick quantity of the checker brick holes. Here are some factors to consider when choosing checkered tiles

  1. Checker brick has the largest heating area per unit volume
  2. There should be an amount of bricks suitable for the heating area to store heat to ensure that it does not cause an excessive drop in wind temperature within a certain range.
  3. Cause airflow disturbance as much as possible, maintain a high flow rate, and increase convective heat transfer and speed.
  4. Have sufficient building stability
  5. Easy to process, manufacture, install, and maintain at low cost.

Arrangement requirements for holes in refractory chequers

  1. All hole widths should be equal. The holes are staggered in one or two directions.
  2. ​The holes should be arranged symmetrically up and down, left and right, and distributed evenly. The length direction of the hand-gripping holes should be parallel to the strips of the bricks.
