Description

The Atmosphere Controlled Furnace YR06668 is a high-performance box-type furnace with a 36-liter capacity. It is specifically designed for advanced thermal processes where an oxygen-free environment is critical, allowing for work under inert atmospheres such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. It is the ideal tool for materials science laboratories and metallurgical plants seeking extreme precision up to 1300°C in continuous use.

Design and Technology (or Functionality)

• Smart Touch Control: Features a touch screen display for real-time time/temperature curve visualization and storage of up to 50 programmable segments.
• Data Management: Integrated USB port to export heating history and data sheets for computer-based analysis and archiving.
• Double-Layer Insulation: An air-cooled shell structure ensures the outer surface temperature remains safe for the operator (< 60°C).
• Vacuum System: Equipped with a precision vacuum gauge and needle valves for a hermetic seal reaching up to -0.1 MPa.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can it be used with regular air? Yes, the furnace can operate as a conventional muffle furnace or under a controlled atmosphere. What maintenance is required? Primarily inspecting the door seals and cleaning the Silicon Carbide (SiC) heating elements. Does it come ready to use? Yes, it includes standard accessories such as thermal gloves, crucible tongs, and a user manual.

Advantages and Disadvantages (Pros and Cons)

Pros:

• Thermal Precision: Temperature stability of +/- 1°C.
• Mobility: Universal wheel design with brake function for easy positioning.
• Safety: Dual protection with an extra thermocouple for automatic over-temperature power-off.

Cons:

• Power Requirements: Requires a 16 kW industrial electrical installation (3-Phase 380V).
• Weight: At nearly 200 kg, it requires a solid industrial support surface.

Field Use and Recommendations

This equipment excels in advanced dental research, metallurgy labs, and semiconductor development.

• Operational Tip: Ensure gas valves are closed before starting the vacuum process to prevent damage to the flow meters.
• Recommendation: Use the included SiC trays to prevent direct contact between samples and the furnace floor.
