A discussion of the problems involved in water‐gas generator refractories is given and the steps in the development leading to the present highly satisfactory silicon‐carbide air‐ventilated Bernitz type blocks are given. Actual operating costs of typical installations are given. It is shown that generator capacities have been increased as much as 50% and fuel reductions have been so large that a real saving in net operating costs has resulted from the installation of this‐type of lining. Many generators have now been lined and economically operated with air ventilated silicon‐carbide blocks.
