The construction
of the FCS Corruform Panel makes them ideally suited to replace
existing roofs or for incorporating in new heater construction.
The panels may
be bolted together to form large areas of roof, sidewalls and doors,
or used individually on smaller installations. The method of construction
from stock items allows for speedy delivery to the customer.
Description:
The panel consists of ceramic fibre blanket folded to give a dense
module suspended on high temperature anchors, which are secreted
back from the panel hot face.
The fibre is
slung from a mild steel open metalwork mat. The whole structure
is surrounded by a mild steel skirt which is welded to the open
metalwork mat.
Design advantages:
1. the corrugation
bends present the ceramic fibres at right angles to the heat source
giving better insulation properties than stacked fibres
2. insulation density is 9lbs./cubic foot min.
3. the open metal construction is strong, lightweight and non-distorting
giving the following advantages:
a. quick and
simple replacement
b. hot spots, should they occur, are immediately noticeable and
temporary repairs can be carried out with
the plant still producing.
c. atmosphere analysis and temperature sampling can be easily undertaken
in any position through the panel
4. the mechanical
fixing of the fibre caters for situations of heavy vibration
5. temperature shrinkage of the fibres in any direction is catered
for during assembly
6. roof panels may be of any span but the width is limited to 2
ft. Larger areas are covered by bolt-together
type panels
7. mechanically damaged panels can be repaired in situ by quick
replacement of separate blocks which make
up the panel
8. absence of continuous steel outer surfaces eliminates dewpoint
problems
