CRUCIFORMS® types
Type 2
Typical application
CRUCIFORMS® Type 2 is 40mm thick to reinforce resistance to corrosion.
ER 5312 RX Type 2 is used at the upper part of the regenerator packings operating with high carryover level or high exhaust gas velocities.
Flue size: 130 - 170 x 130 - 170 mm
Thickness: 40 mm
Heat exchange area: 19.4 - 12.7 m2/m3
Setting density: 991 - 651 kg/m3
| Shape | Weight |
|---|---|
| X shape: ER 5312 X2 | 18.5 kg |
| T shape: ER 5312 T2 | 15.0 kg |
| L shape: ER 5312 L2 | 10.0 kg |
Type 4
Typical application
The unique corrugated shape of CRUCIFORMS® Type 4 optimize the convection heat exchange for the higher efficiency.
ER 5312 Type 4 is used at the upper part of the regenerator packings.
Flue size: 140 - 180 x 140 - 180 mm
Thickness: 30 mm
Heat exchange area: 19.9 - 13.1 m2/m3
Setting density: 843 - 554 kg/m3
| Shape | Weight |
|---|---|
| X shape: ER 5312 X4 | 20 kg |
| T shape: ER 5312 T3 | 15 kg |
| L shape: ER 5312 L3 | 11 kg |
Type 8
Typical application
Half channel CRUCIFORMS® Type 8 for high fuel efficiency regenerator.
Increased heat exchange surface combined with the corrugated shape further boost the thermal efficiency of the entire regenerator.
ER 5312 Type 8 is dedicated to the top 5 to 3 courses of the checker packing. It is compatible with the use of others CRUCIFORMS® types in the remaining packing area.
Flue size: 140 - 180 x 55 - 75 mm
Thickness: 30 mm
Heat exchange area: 32.3 - 21.2 m2/m3
Setting density: 1,311 - 861 kg/m3

|---|---|
| X shape: ER 5312 X8 | 15.7 kg |
| T shape: ER 5312 T8 P | 11.0 kg |
| T shape: ER 5312 T8 G | 13.2 kg |
| L shape: ER 5312 L8 L | 9.6 kg |
| L shape: ER 5312 L8 J | 8.7 kg |
