| System Structure | - The air-tight joint between the four furnace tubes and glovebox to protects the sample from oxidation in the preparation.
- Vertical loading of four samples inside the glove box. An electromagnetic release mechanism from the top flange can release the sample into the quenching chamber at the bottom.
- The electric gate valve at the bottom of the tube can isolate the heating chamber from the quenching chamber and open for sample drop when quenching is needed.
- Both Electromagnet sample release flange and the bottom gate valve are with water cooling jackets which help protect Viton sealing gaskets from over-heated.
|
InputPower | - AC 208-240V Single Phase, 50/60 Hz
- 1.5 KW (for glove box); 2.5 KW (for four furnaces)
- Total: 4.0 KW
|
Glove-Box
 | - The gas purification station is integrated to ensure a low O2 & H2O environment (<1ppm) in the glove box.
- Case Material: Stainless steel 304 with 3 mm thickness
- Chamber dimension: 1200 mm L x 740 mm W x 900 mm H
- Openable front window panel (tempered glass, 8 mm thick) for easy device loading
- Please Click Picture left for detail specification

Electromagnet Release &
Quenching Media Tank   | - 4 sets of Electromagnet Auto-drop Mechanism are installed for sample release under an atmosphere controlled environment.
- Hinged plate with a hook & cable can hang the sample in the hot zone for heat treatment.
- Hinged plate releases when the electromagnet is powered off. Then the sample falls into the quenching tank.
- Rings attached to the top flange for hanging the quartz block to prevent heat dissipation.
- Improved top flange design allows easy sample reload without uninstalling all parts of the flange.
- The bottom flange is connected with a 4" gate valve ( electrically operated ) via CF-100 adaptor.
- Four gate valves are connected to quenching tank

Application Notes 
Click here to learn how to install a gas regulator. | - The tube furnaces with mullite tube are designed for use under vacuum and low pressure < 0.02 Mpa / 0.2 Bar/ 3 PSI
- Never use graphite crucible in an alumina tube.
- Attention: A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator.
- Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damages.
- The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM ( or 200ml/min )
- Vacuum limit definition for all mullite tube furnaces: * Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1300°C
