🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of firebrick and refractory materials when the boiler heats up and cools down • The purpose of joints and clearances between bricks in high-temperature furnaces • Protection of the refractory joint from direct flame exposure and hot gases

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the firebrick and furnace floor when the boiler goes from cold to full operating temperature. How does their size change? • What is the main function of the space (joint) between the firebricks in a furnace floor—structural, thermal, or maintenance-related? • If the joint were too tight or too wide, what problems could occur during normal firing conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly relates to thermal expansion and protection of the joint under high temperature • Check which choices mention conditions that occur during normal boiler operation, not just during maintenance • Eliminate any answer that focuses mainly on maintenance convenience rather than safe operation and material behavior
