AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing sealing methods for industrial furnaces, such as those using heat-resistant ropes or metal expansion pipes, are inadequate for large-scale facilities due to high costs and difficulty in accommodating large dimensional changes, especially in vertical and horizontal gaps.

Method used

A sealing structure that combines a water seal structure with a rope in vertical gaps and a water-filled recess in horizontal gaps, where the rope is partially immersed in water to maintain resilience, and includes a configuration for water replenishment and ammonia absorption.

Benefits of technology

Provides a cost-effective sealing solution that accommodates large dimensional changes in both vertical and horizontal directions, reduces heat loss, and prevents the leakage of unburned ammonia by dissolving it in the water, maintaining effective sealing performance.

Abstract

This invention provides a simple and cost-effective sealing structure for placement between components of industrial furnaces, which can also be applied to large-scale heat treatment furnaces. [Solution] A sealing structure for sealing a gap S1 formed between the constituent members of the furnace bodies 11 and 12 of an industrial furnace 100, wherein a rope 4 is placed as a sealing material in the first gaps S12 and S13 formed in the vertical direction, and a water seal structure with water stored in recesses 21 and 31 is placed as a sealing material in the second gaps S11 and S14 formed in the horizontal direction, and at least a portion of the rope 4 is immersed in the water in the recesses 21 and 31.
