FAQs of Laboratory furnace, metal insulation (LHTM/W):
Q: How does the PID programmable controller enhance furnace operation?
A: The PID programmable controller enables precise temperature setting, monitoring, and scheduling. Users can set custom heating and cooling profiles, ensure consistent results, and benefit from tight temperature accuracy (1C) throughout laboratory processes.
Q: What applications are best suited for the LHTM/W laboratory furnace?
A: This furnace excels in ceramics, metallurgy, material research, quality control, annealing, sintering, and laboratory testing, making it an invaluable tool for universities, research institutions, and industrial quality labs.
Q: When should I use natural convection for cooling?
A: After completing the heating process or when handling temperature-sensitive materials, the natural convection cooling feature is ideal to gradually reduce chamber temperatures, minimizing stress on materials and the furnace structure.
Q: Where can the LHTM/W furnace be installed?
A: The furnace is designed for use in laboratory and industrial environments with ambient temperatures between 5C and 40C. A well-ventilated workspace near a reliable power source (220240 V) is recommended for safe operation.
Q: What benefits does multilayer metal insulation provide?
A: The 100 mm multilayer metal insulation, composed of refractory metals like Mo and W, ensures uniform temperature distribution, low heat loss, and improved energy efficiency during prolonged high-temperature cycles.
Q: How do the safety features operate during use?
A: Safety features include an over-temperature cutoff that prevents overheating and a door interlock switch, which disables heating when the door is opened. This reduces risks and ensures operator safety.
