Refractory lining anchored to wall of vessel.

摘要

A refractory lining anchored to a wall (23) of a vessel comprises metal anchors (10) attached to the wall and which support the refractory lining relative to the wall. Each anchor (10) has a curved central web (11) and curved legs (12, 14) which together have a shape that approximates that of the letter C. The anchor also has straight arms (15, 16) extending outwardly from the central web which together have a shape approximating the letter W. The arms and legs improve the ability of the anchor to control the crack pattern that forms in the refractory after thermal cycling, thereby reducing catalyst ingress or coke formation in the cracks.
