Precise Temperature Control for Every ApplicationNACELF furnaces feature a PID programmable controller, allowing precise temperature regulation from ambient up to 1200C. This ensures consistent results for ashing, sintering, and heat treatment processes. Achieve target temperatures quickly, with a typical heat-up time of just 1525 minutes and accuracy within 1C, thanks to advanced engineering and high-quality Kanthal heating elements.
Designed for Safety and EfficiencySafety is integral to every NACELF furnace. Built-in over-temperature protection and a safety interlock system safeguard both users and samples. The natural air cooling method, coupled with a high-quality ceramic fiber insulation and corrosion-resistant powder-coated exterior, delivers uniform heating while maximizing energy efficiency.
Versatile and Durable ConstructionThe NACELF Series offers chamber volumes from 5 to 36 liters, making it suitable for a range of laboratory tasks. The durable stainless steel exterior and ceramic chamber lining guarantee longevity and resistance to corrosion, while the front-loading hinged door ensures ergonomic loading and unloading of samples.
FAQs of NACELF - Laboratory Chamber Furnaces:
Q: How does the NACELF Laboratory Chamber Furnace achieve uniform temperature distribution?
A: The NACELF Series uses high-quality Kanthal wire heating elements placed strategically within a ceramic-lined chamber, ensuring even heat transfer. Coupled with premium ceramic fiber insulation, this setup promotes uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber.
Q: What safety features are incorporated in the NACELF furnaces?
A: Each furnace is equipped with over-temperature protection, a safety interlock system, and durable thermal insulation to ensure operational safety for users and prevent damage to samples.
Q: When should I use the NACELF Laboratory Chamber Furnace?
A: This furnace is ideal for laboratory processes that require elevated and stable temperatures, such as ashing, heat treatment, drying, and sintering. Its accuracy and programmable settings are especially suited for research and quality control tasks.
Q: Where can the NACELF furnaces be installed in a laboratory?
A: Due to their compact design (approx. 400 x 600 x 600 mm, varying by model), these furnaces can be placed on sturdy laboratory benches in well-ventilated areas, away from flammable materials. Ensure access to a standard 230V AC outlet.
Q: What is the process for setting and monitoring temperature on this furnace?
A: Using the digital PID programmable controller, you can easily set desired temperature profiles, monitor real-time chamber temperature, and adjust as needed. The digital display provides accurate readings and user-friendly navigation.
Q: How does the natural air circulation cooling system benefit laboratory work?
A: Natural air cooling provides silent, maintenance-free operation and protects the heating elements and chamber lining over time, facilitating reliable performance without additional cooling equipment.
