What is Refractory? An Overview of Refractory Lined Dampers

What is a Refractory Damper?

A refractory damper is a type of industrial damper designed to operate at high temperatures where standard dampers would fail. These dampers are built using materials that can withstand extreme heat, such as stainless steel and other heat-resistant alloys, and/or are often lined or coated with refractory materials to enhance their thermal resistance while being able to use more cost-effective materials like carbon steel for the body and flanges.
