Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and methods for retaining modular insulation blocks in place upon the metallic walls of furnaces, kilns and the like. A block retainer, having a base member with an aperture therein, a support member extending from the base member away from the metallic wall to be insulated and opposed block support bars extending from the support member substantially parallel to the metallic wall of the structure, is secured in place by welding a breakoff stud through the aperture to the wall. A first insulation block with one of its faces against the metallic wall is impaled upon one of the opposed support bars. One of the opposed support bars of a second retaining block is forced into the opposed side wall of the insulation block and secured in place by a further stud welded through the aperture. The process is repeated to construct a modular insulation block insulating wall.
