How much steam can be saved by automatic steam curing equipment for concrete products?

High-temperature steam is used to cure concrete, such as aerated concrete, usually in an autoclave. Because of its large internal pores, ordinary curing will produce internal moisture, which is not good for concrete. In addition, autoclaved curing can reduce curing time and improve strength.

With the increase of temperature, the hydration and strength growth of cement accelerate. It is generally believed that steam curing has no other chemical function except accelerating the hydration reaction of cement. However, some people think that steam curing will also affect the technical properties of concrete.

Through steam curing, the reaction temperature of concrete is improved. At the initial stage of heating, steam heat is mainly transferred to concrete through the condensation heat of steam on concrete, followed by convection heat.

The heat transfer process of heat in concrete mainly depends on the characteristics of concrete, the mix proportion of concrete and the hardening degree of concrete.

Comparatively speaking, the heat transfer performance of wet concrete is better than that of dry concrete, and the heat transfer performance at high temperature is better than that at low temperature.
