Innovation Drives The Thermal Energy Revolution: Silicon Nitride Hot Surface Igniters Lead The Way In Efficient Ignition Technology

Image
In industrial thermal energy applications and household gas appliances, the ignition system is a core starting component whose performance directly determines the equipment’s starting efficiency, safety, and service life. Thanks to their superior high-temperature and corrosion resistance, silicon nitride hot surface igniters are gradually replacing traditional ignition components and becoming the preferred solution for high-end ignition scenarios.   As a company dedicated to the research, development, and production of silicon nitride hot surface igniters, we are deeply aware of the importance of this technology to industrial upgrades. This article analyzes the technical principles, application scenarios, core advantages, and comparative benefits in the boiler field to help industry partners gain a deeper understanding of this innovative product.     1. What is a Silicon Nitride Hot Surface Igniter   A silicon nitride hot surface igniter is a new type of ignition dev...

Mullite:Key Advantages for Heater Components

Image
Generally, mullite is used as a high-temperature material due to its exceptional heat resistance (withstanding temperatures over 1800  ° C). It can handle rapid temperature changes without cracking and maintains high structural strength even under extreme conditions.   Main Applications   Advanced Refractories: Used as inner lining materials for high-temperature industrial furnaces employed in the manufacture of metals, glass, and ceramics.   High-Temperature Parts: An ideal material for furnace chambers, supports, radiant tubes, and other components requiring superior heat endurance.   Key Advantages for Heater Components   Outstanding High-Temperature Performance: Maintains structural strength and form stability under extremely high temperatures, with outstanding resistance to deformation.   Enhanced Durability and Service Life: Excellent thermal shock resistance significantly reduces the risk of cracking and extends the operational life of the comp...

High Zirconia Ceramic Refractory Parts for Glass Furnaces

Image
  Longer furnace life directly translates to lower glass manufacturing costs. Although fused-cast high-zirconia is considered one of the best materials for glass furnaces, its long delivery time and high price have hindered large-scale adoption. Furthermore, poor thermal shock resistance and industry-wide quality control issues have led to significant variations in performance and application outcomes.     A new series of large-size, 5.0 g/cm³ density fused high-zirconia bricks (free from silicon and sodium impurities) effectively addresses common challenges in glass furnace refractory applications. These bricks can withstand long-term operating temperatures up to 2000  ° C and provide remarkable performance in environments containing sodium, boron, lead, fluorine, and other glass components, as well as in areas requiring high electrical resistivity.     Under operating conditions above 1550  ° C, their lifespan is more than three times that of convent...

SiC Double End Face Mechanical Seal Rings

Image
Why we choose SiC ceramic parts instead of metal parts in slurry pumps? SiC Ceramic  Slurry Pump  is applied for mining, metallurgy, coal power plant, chemical industry, etc. It can stand large solids, for slurry with high weight concentration- 60% for mineral slurry and 45% for ash slurry. It can work well in a position such as a ball mill pump in mining. Advantages of SiC Ceramic Slurry Pump: – abrasion resistance 4 times of high chrome – corrosion resistance to PH0-12 nearly all acid and alkali – impact resistance to large solids – 3~8 times longer lifetime than metal pump – energy saving and cost-reducing > 20%~40% However, are you curious about the reason why the Ceramic Slurry Pump is more competitive than the metal pump? The reason depends on the structure of the SiC pump, its wet parts are made with sintered SiC ceramic, which is sintered in an automatic nitriding furnace at a temperature of 1400℃. SiC has strong corrosion resistance and good wear resistance. The sl...

Application of High-Temperature Magnesium-Zirconium – Tundish Nozzle(Refractory Nozzle)

Image
Innovacera has introduced a new series of high-performance refractory materials, including photovoltaic rolled lip bricks, runner sagger bricks, flow nozzles, stirring rods, stirring paddles, and punches.   Among these, the Tundish Nozzle—also known as the Pouring Nozzle, Metallurgical Nozzle, or Refractory Nozzle—is a critical component engineered for extreme conditions in continuous casting processes.     1. Key Characteristics Large dynamic and thermal gradient range High requirements for thermal stability   These properties enable the nozzle to perform reliably under fluctuating thermal and mechanical stresses during steelmaking.   2. How It Works – The Controlled Flow Gateway   In essence, the tundish nozzle acts like a high-temperature precision valve, designed to precisely control the flow of molten steel.   Working in conjunction with the sliding nozzle system, it functions by displacing two sliding plates to open, close, or regulate the molten...
