Practical Heating Design: A hands-on guide to selecting brick, insulation, and refractories for durable furnaces delivers practical techniques for choosing materials and components that stand up to high temperatures and demanding use.

This edition translates technical details into actionable steps for real-world furnace projects. The book blends concrete guidance on bricks, refractories, and insulation with key design considerations. It covers how to match materials to fuel types, how to read pyrometric cones, and how to plan for thermal expansion and spalling. It also includes tables and examples to help you size and specify components with confidence.

• Understand how fuel choice affects brick life and how to select low-porosity bricks for challenging ash conditions.
• Learn about standard pyrometric cones and how to determine a brick’s cone equivalent for accurate specification.
• Explore how brick expansion and contraction impact furnace design and how to prevent cracking and failure.
• Get guidance on castables, ramming mixes, and the role of firebrick in different furnace setups.
