What are the maintenance methods for laboratory electric furnaces?
Here are some maintenance methods for laboratory electric furnaces:
1. Regular cleaning
- After use, wait for the electric furnace to cool down, then wipe the outside of the furnace with a clean damp cloth to remove dust and stains.
- Clean the debris and residue inside the furnace to avoid accumulation that affects the heating effect and contaminates the sample.
2. Check the heating element
- Regularly check whether the connection of the heating element is loose, whether the surface is damaged, oxidized or deformed.
- If damaged, replace the heating element with the same specification in time.
3. Calibrate the temperature sensor
- Calibrate the temperature sensor according to a certain period to ensure the accuracy of the temperature display.
4. Check the control system
- Check whether the buttons and switches on the control panel are working properly and whether the display is clear and accurate.
- Ensure that the control program and parameter settings are correct.
5. Maintain the furnace door and seal
- Keep the furnace door clean and check whether the hinges and handles of the furnace door are flexible.
- Ensure that the furnace door is well sealed. If there are aging or damaged seals, replace them in time.
6. Check the circuit regularly
- Check whether the power cord and connecting wire are damaged, aged or in poor contact.
- Ensure that the circuit is firmly connected to avoid the risk of short circuit and leakage.
7. Storage environment
- The environment for storing the electric furnace should be dry and ventilated, avoiding moisture and corrosive gases.
8. Follow the operating procedures
- Use the electric furnace in strict accordance with the operating procedures to avoid overload and incorrect operation.
9. Regular maintenance
- According to the frequency of use and work intensity, formulate a regular maintenance plan, including comprehensive inspection and maintenance.
10. Lubricate moving parts
- For electric furnaces with moving parts (such as movable furnace brackets, etc.), add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil regularly.
