Abstract

A hollow-cylindrical heat shield includes at least one graphite foil and at least one fiber structure, preferably a wound fiber structure, disposed on the outer side of the at least one graphite foil. The (wound) fiber structure has a degree of coverage of less than 100%. A high-temperature furnace or gas converter having a heat shield is also provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gas converter comprising:
a hollow-cylindrical heat shield having:
at least one graphite foil having an outer side; and
at least one fiber structure disposed directly on and in contact with said outer side of said at least one graphite foil, said at least one fiber structure having a degree of coverage selected from the group consisting of 5 to 95%, 10 to 65%, 30 to 55% and 40 to 50%, and said fiber structure being formed of carbon fibers and/or ceramic fibers.

2. The gas converter according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one fiber structure is a wound fiber structure, a woven fabric, a weft knitted fabric, a warp knitted fabric or a non-crimp fabric.

3. The gas converter according to claim 1 , which further comprises:
at least one layer made of a fiber composite material;
said at least one layer made of a fiber composite material being disposed immediately on an inner side of said at least one graphite foil or separated from said inner side of said at least one graphite foil by one or more intermediate layers; and
said fiber composite material being carbon fiber reinforced carbon, ceramic fiber reinforced carbon, carbon fiber reinforced ceramic or ceramic fiber reinforced ceramic.

4. The gas converter according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one fiber structure is a cross winding having individual winding turns with a winding angle relative to a hollow cylinder longitudinal axis selected from the group consisting of between 5 and 88°, between 30 and 85°, between 60 and 80°, between 70 and 80°, and 75°.

5. The gas converter according to claim 1 , wherein:
said at least one fiber structure is selected from the group consisting of cords impregnated with matrix, twines impregnated with matrix, yarns impregnated with matrix, rovings impregnated with matrix, non-wovens impregnated with matrix, woven fabrics impregnated with matrix, warp knitted fabrics impregnated with matrix, weft knitted fabrics impregnated with matrix, felts impregnated with matrix, and any mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned fiber structures; and
said matrix is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of carbonized and/or graphitized phenol resins, epoxy resins, novolaks, cyanate ester resins, benzoxazine resins, polyesters, vinyl esters, bismaleimide resins, bisoxazolines, and any mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned materials.

6. The gas converter according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one fiber structure includes one ply or at least two plies, and said at least one fiber structure has a thickness of 0.05 to 5 mm, 0.1 to 3 mm or 0.2 to 1 mm.

7. The gas converter according to claim 1 , which further comprises a ratio of a heat conductivity of said at least one graphite foil in a foil plane to a heat conductivity of said at least one graphite foil perpendicularly to said foil plane of more than 5:1, more than 20:1 or more than 30:1.

8. The gas converter according to claim 1 , wherein:
said at least one graphite foil includes at least one of:
1 to 40 or 5 to 20 plies disposed above one another, or
5 to 40 or 8 to 20 layers of different graphite foils.

9. The gas converter according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one layer made of fiber composite material contains a fiber structure selected from the group consisting of rovings, non-wovens, woven fabrics, warp knitted fabrics, weft knitted fabrics, felts, and any mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned fiber structures.

10. The gas converter according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one layer made of fiber composite material has a matrix composed of a material selected from the group consisting of carbonized and/or graphitized phenol resins, epoxy resins, novolaks, cyanate ester resins, benzoxazine resins, polyesters, vinyl esters, bismaleimide resins, bisoxazolines, and any mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned materials.

11. The gas converter according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one layer made of fiber composite material includes at least one of carbon fibers, ceramic fibers or silicon carbide fibers.
