Ceramic, plastic and other non-metal tower shells are used quite often (Figures 9-3, 4, and 5). It is important to consider in ceramic construction that the main inlet or outlet nozzles or any other large connections should be oriented 90° to each other to reduce the possibility of cracking the walls, as most cracks go one-half diameter. Preferably there should only be one nozzle at any one horizontal plane. The nozzles should never carry any piping or other stress load. 

The catalyst is coated as a thin ceramic layer at the walls of the metal foil. These so-called metalits exhibit a steel content of only 40 vol.%, which lowers the counter pressure of the exhaust pipe. At the same time the heating-up period of the catalyst decreases, which reduces emissions during the engine start. The position of the converter in the exhaust pipe section is shown in Figure 4.52. 

Those monoliths can be produced from a piece of structured foam polymer with macropores. The piece of polymer is soaked in a sol that will form a ceramic of the desired material after heat treatment. The sol-soaked structure is dried, and it is burned at a suitable temperature to remove the polymer. The remaining structure will be a ceramic one with macropores, permitting the wall-flow of gases. This technique is also used to produce heat plates and pipes with macroporous walls for gas separation purposes. The polymers used are often derived from polyurethanes [45-46]. 

In the downhole U-shaped heater of American design (U.S. Patent No. 3004603,10-17-1961), a U-bend piece made of refractory ceramics is installed below the combustion chamber of the heater. Through its walls, the U-bend transfers the heat of combustion to the bottomhole of the well. The products of combustion are then removed from the well through a parallel string of tubing. As the gas-air mixture is supplied to the downhole heater, it is cooled by circulating water. In a variant of the U-shaped heater, a small diameter pipe connects the combustion chamber with...

Precise comparisons between packed beds and ceramic foam structures are complex since many factors - activity, effectiveness factors, mass and heat transfer, and pressure drop - are all interdependent. We have simulated the performance of a conventional steam reformer and compared it to one containing a ceramic foam cartridge loaded to achieve equivalent intrinsic activity per gram of catalyst. A 1-D model developed and tested previously for heat-pipe reformers with isothermal walls was used [57]. Pressure drop, mass transfer and heat transfer correlations for the packed bed were known to be accurate for commercial catalysts those used for the foam were determined in the studies described above. Process conditions and results are given in Table 7. 

Williamson Kiln. A tunnel kiln of the combined direct-flame and muffle type designed by J. Williamson (Trans. Brit. Ceram. Soc., 27,290,1928) and first used, in England, for the firing of wall-tiles and sewer-pipes. This kiln differed from earlier tunnel kilns in that the hot combustion gases passed across, rather than along, the kiln. 

It should be understood that there are many variables to this desCTipiion. Burners may be located In the side walls or roof of the radiant section. Insulation may be reftactory brick, ceramic fibers, or a mineral wool blanket. The produa may flow into the convection section tubes, exit that seaion through crossover piping, and flow through the radiant seaion. Multiple furnaces may be tied to one common sack by breeching.
