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.

2400 Series Damper with Refractory Lining: Cost-Effective Solution

Refractory lining is a critical feature in high-temperature industrial applications because of its significant benefits in maintaining system integrity and improving operational efficiency. Here’s why it matters: 🔥 Exceptional Heat Resistance and Insulation: Refractory is designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, ensuring that equipment operates safely and effectively under stressful conditions. This makes it indispensable in industries such as metal smelting, chemical processing, and power generation, where thermal processes are intensive. 🛡️ Equipment Protection: By providing a robust barrier, refractory lining shields...

Refractory Style Damper

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Take a look at our latest project—a Ø72" refractory lined damper, meticulously engineered for high-temperature industrial applications. What makes this project even more special is that we collaborated closely with our customer to reuse the existing Automax B200 S10 actuator from their previous damper. We had them send it to us, where we cleaned it up, rigorously tested it, and seamlessly integrated it into this new design. Key Features: • 𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵: This Ø72"...
