Ceramic fiber blanket, as a new generation of high-performance thermal insulation materials, is showing an increasingly wide range of applications in the industrial field. This flexible thermal insulation product made of high-purity alumina and silica has become one of the preferred materials for high-temperature working conditions due to its excellent performance characteristics.
In the iron and steel metallurgy industry, ceramic fiber blanket is widely used in a variety of high-temperature furnace lining insulation. Its excellent high temperature performance can effectively reduce heat loss and improve thermal efficiency. The petrochemical industry is also a large number of ceramic fiber blanket, mainly used for cracking furnace, reforming furnace and other equipment insulation layer, can withstand drastic temperature changes. In the power industry, ceramic fiber blanket is commonly used in boilers, turbines and other thermal equipment insulation, significantly reducing the surface temperature.
In addition to the traditional industrial field, ceramic fiber blanket in the new energy industry also shows unique value. In the production process of lithium batteries, ceramic fiber blanket is used as a pole baking furnace insulation material; solar thermal power generation system, ceramic fiber blanket is used for collector insulation protection. These emerging applications for ceramic fiber blanket opened up a broader market space.
From the performance advantages, ceramic fiber blanket has many outstanding features. Its thermal conductivity is extremely low (0.03-0.05W/m-K), the thermal insulation effect is significantly better than traditional materials. At the same time, ceramic fiber blanket has a soft texture, can be cut and folded at will, the construction is very convenient. Excellent thermal shock resistance enables it to withstand drastic temperature changes without damage. In addition, modern ceramic fiber blanket products generally have good chemical stability, can resist most acid and alkali corrosion.
Looking to the future, the development prospects of ceramic fiber blanket is very broad. With the promotion of the “double carbon” strategy, industrial energy saving demand will continue to grow, which will create more market space for ceramic fiber blanket. Breakthroughs in new materials technology is expected to further enhance the performance of ceramic fiber blanket, such as the development of higher temperature resistance, better strength of new products. In terms of applications, ceramic fiber blanket is expected to expand to more emerging industries, such as hydrogen energy equipment, aerospace and other high-end fields.
It is worth noting that the improvement of environmental requirements is also promoting the upgrading of ceramic fiber blanket products. The development of a new generation of low bio-persistence ceramic fiber blanket will better meet occupational health requirements. Intelligent development trend, integrated sensing function of intelligent ceramic fiber blanket is also expected to come out, realize the temperature monitoring and other value-added functions.
From a comprehensive point of view, ceramic fiber blanket with its excellent performance and wide range of application adaptability, the future development prospects are broad. With technological progress and application innovation, ceramic fiber blanket will certainly play a more important role in the field of industrial energy saving and high temperature protection.
