Abstract

Regenerator checkerbrick for a blast furnace stove system embody a hexagonal configuration. A central flow space for a heat exchange medium has six planar wall surfaces. An array of outer flow spaces each have six planar wall surfaces, one of which is parallel with a wall surface of the central flow space. All walls are uniformly thick and the external walls have a thickness about one-half the thickness of the internal walls.
