Technical background According to Stephen-Boltzmann's Law, the thermal efficiency of the kiln can be improved by enhancing the effective radiation of the lining to the workpiece. The workpieces heated by kilns in different industries are different, and the absorption capacity of different workpieces to infrared waves in various bands is also different. Only when the wavelength and frequency of infrared waves radiated by the lining match the heated workpiece can they be absorbed by the workpiece and become effective heat energy. Therefore, the development and application of infrared radiation coatings or lining insulation materials with strong radiation capabilities and adapted to the requirements of different workpiece absorption bands is the key to improving the thermal efficiency of the kiln. Energy Saving Principle Infrared radiation materials act on the heated object through infrared radiation, causing molecular resonance absorption, achieving the purpose of rapid heating, rapid heating and rapid drying. As a new energy-saving material used in thermal processing equipment such as industrial furnaces, infrared radiation coating can not only achieve significant energy-saving effects, but also play a good role in protecting lining materials, extending the service life of industrial furnaces, and reducing kiln maintenance workload. In addition, it can also strengthen radiant heat transfer in the furnace, improve heating uniformity, and improve furnace thermal efficiency and product heating quality. The heating schematic diagram of infrared radiating materials is shown in Figure 1, and the effect of infrared radiating materials on the kiln is shown in Figure 2. Infrared radiation energy-saving coating is a new high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally friendly product used in various industrial kilns. It can be directly sprayed on the surface of refractory materials of various high-temperature kilns, or the surface of steam boiler water wall tubes, and closely bonded with the inner wall of the furnace body to form a solid surface coating that isolates the refractory surface from direct contact with the combustion airflow, avoiding the erosion and corrosion of the airflow on the kiln wall, thereby protecting the furnace body and extending the furnace life. The coating has the advantages of high emissivity, long service life, small thermal conductivity, good airtightness, high fire resistance, strong adhesion, difficulty in cracking and falling, corrosion resistance, simple and rapid construction, stable quality, etc., and can significantly improve the heat transfer effect in the furnace, improve fuel combustion efficiency, reduce exhaust emissions, and have significant energy conservation and environmental protection benefits. This technology has obtained many national invention patents, and its product technical performance has reached the domestic advanced level. Construction method and packaging method (1) Construction method 1. Clean the inner surface of the furnace: Remove floating ash from the surface of refractory materials, and remove oxide scales from the surface of metal materials and remove ash. 2.

After the construction is completed, it is naturally dried in the shade for more than 5 hours, and then slowly heated to the working temperature of the kiln to cure and sinter the coating. 4. The service life of energy-saving coatings is more than 1 year, and it is recommended to spray them once a year to achieve better energy conservation and emission reduction effects.
