Porous Heat Insulation from Carbon Materials

Abstract

The major types of carbon materials used for heat insulation in high-temperature furnaces are investigated. Such properties as density and heat conduction and a general scheme of heat insulation manufacture are cited. The effect of carbon residue content and density on the coefficient of thermal conductivity of heat insulating materials, such as carbon-carbon composites, is discussed and it is shown that relative deformation of the materials depends on their density.
