Of refractories in KFCSIM - Thermojet. Although approval of the heating curve is normally the responsibility of the manufacturer of refractory and designer of industrial furnaces, the Thermojet always considered paramount assist the client in determining this parameter whenever requested. For this, one of the main tools used is the computer simulation of the thermal profile of the refractories.

A program developed especially for Thermojet the KFCSIM, allows the engineer to evaluate, in the transient regime, the evolution of temperature at each point in the thickness of refractory, in a one-dimensional condition. Thus, from the distribution of the refractory, its thermal properties such as conductivity and specific heat, and the boundary conditions (heating curve, coefficient of heat transfer, etc.), it is possible to calculate what the thermal profile (temperature each point in the thickness of the refractory) at every moment, and the thermal gradient.

This information is crucial to determine how well the evolution of thermal drying and soaking the material, contributing to the achievement of a fully effective.
