🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of salt contamination in fuel oil on boiler furnace surfaces • How a glassy slag film changes heat transfer and refractory temperature • Relationship between refractory temperature, spalling, and cracking

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does a glassy film on the wall act more like an insulator that traps heat in the furnace, or like a cooler, heat‑conducting layer? • If heat cannot pass through the slag into the water walls as easily, what happens to the temperature inside the furnace and to the refractory surfaces behind the slag? • Which part of the furnace structure is most directly affected when the walls are slagged: the wall refractory itself, the overall average gas temperature, or the floor?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether slag from salt‑contaminated fuel is considered beneficial or harmful to refractory life in marine boilers. • Consider which option reflects a typical damage mechanism: long‑term overheating and thermal stress versus protection. • Check which choice most directly follows from reduced heat transfer through furnace walls due to a glassy, insulating layer.
