General Purpose Chamber
Furnaces
|
|
|
A robust range of laboratory furnaces, providing an excellent
level of versatility
|
|
|
without compromising
quality, safety or reliability.
|
|
|
All
units in the ECF range have a maximum
operating temperature of 1200๐C.
|
|
|
Heating
is provided by two side-wall elements manufactured from high temperature
|
|
|
resistance wire spirals embedded into cast refractory slabs. An
exhaust chimney is
|
|
|
fitted as standard.
|
|
|
The insulated door opens upwards and outwards keeping the hot
face insulation away
|
|
|
from the operator. A door switch
isolates power from the heating elements whenever the
|
|
|
door is opened for maximum operator
safety. The use of double skin construction allows
|
|
|
natural air convection to
maintain a cool outer case.
|
|
|
Optional extras
|
|
|
Metal
retorts – a variety of metal retorts is available for use with this range of
furnaces.
|
|
|
This
type of retort is generally used to cater for the following process
conditions:
|
|
|
A to maintain controlled atmospheres
within the heated chamber;
|
|
|
B to protect the heating elements and
insulation from chemical attack by aggressive volatiles
|
|
|
given
off by fluxes, acids, etc. Note: ceramic liners may also be used for this
particular
|
|
|
application – refer to the
AWF furnace section.
|
|
|
Four sided heating – this option upgrades the standard two
sided heating to four sided heating
|
|
|
and is recommended in the following circumstances:
|
|
|
A for use with metal retorts and
ceramic liners;
|
|
|
B to improve
chamber temperature uniformity to meet specific process requirements;
|
|
|
C to uprate the furnace power to cope with large loads.
|
|
|
Typical applications include:
|
|
|
>General
heat treatment > Melting > Thermal ageing > Annealing > Enamelling > Decompositon
|
|
|
in chemical analysis
|
|
|
Ashing option
|
|
|
The ECF chamber furnaces can be modified to incorporate an air
exchange system, including a larger
|
|
|
chimney, which makes them suitable for the small scale ashing of a wide variety of materials (this
|
|
|
option can only be fitted at the time of
order).
