| dc.description | The temperature distribution below the heated floor of a kiln has been investigated both theoretically and by model experiments. The aim is to determine how much insulation is required to keep the temperature of the ground below that point (perhaps as low as 40° C) at which it tends to dry out and subside. The results show that a considerable thickness of insulation is necessary to achieve this, but that much less insulation is needed if a thin layer of high conductivity is placed below the insulation. Iron reinforcing mesh could act as a high conductivity layer. It also appears that there is an advantage both in cost and in effectiveness in making the insulation thinner toward the sides of the kiln. The conclusions also apply to the insulation of the floor of cold storage rooms and skating rinks where the aim is to prevent `frost heave'. |
