COMPUTER-BASED ANALYSIS OF THERMAL TREATMENT PARAMETERS APPLICABLE TO MINERAL WOOL PRODUCTS

Abstract

Properties of mineral wool products are, to a significant extent, pre-set by conditions of their thermal treatment. The findings of analytical and experimental researches into patterns of thermal treatment of mineral wool carpets have been converted into dominant factors of influence used to compile a network of factor-to-factor dependencies and resulting characteristics. Dependencies derived in pursuance of the aforementioned pattern serve as the basis for the algorithm of software programmes integrated into a single software facility. The software facility is designated for the analysis of the value of hydraulic resistance of a mineral wool carpet exposed to thermal treatment using the method of heat carrier blowing through the mineral wool carpet layer spread over the punched surface of the transporter. The software facility may be used to identify the minimal length of the thermal treatment chamber and the thermal treatment exposure time.
