Refractory tile for protecting a wall of energy recovery tubes. A hot face of the tile is to be exposed to the interior of the furnace. A cold face, opposite the hot face, defines: a groove extending over the entire length of the tile and to receive one the tubes, and a fastening receptacle configured to receive a retaining member to immobilize the tile with respect to the tube. The tile has, in a transverse section plane, at least at each position between the position of the groove and the position of the fastening receptacle, a non-zero material thickness. The thickness is measured between the transverse profile of the hot face and a straight segment, which is referred to as the base and links the ends of the transverse profile of the hot face. The positions are determined along the base.
