🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of furnace floor materials when heated • Purpose of expansion joints in refractory (firebrick) installations • What conditions would damage firebrick during normal boiler operation

💭 Think About

• When a boiler heats up from cold to operating temperature, what happens to the size of the metal shell and the firebrick floor? • Which choice would best prevent cracking or spalling of the firebrick as the boiler is cycled from cold to hot and back to cold? • Think about whether any of the choices would actually weaken the furnace floor or reduce its ability to protect the boiler structure.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly relates to changes in size with temperature rather than combustion behavior • Eliminate any choices that would intentionally expose joints to flame or slag attack • Focus on the answer that helps protect the refractory and maintain a tight, durable furnace floor over many heat‑up and cool‑down cycles
