How to choose a rotary tube furnace with different configurations?
When choosing a rotary tube furnace with different configurations, there are several key aspects to consider:
1. Temperature range
- Determine the highest and lowest temperatures required for your work. Different configurations of tube furnaces can reach different temperature ranges.
- For example, if your experiment requires frequent handling of high-temperature materials, you need to choose a model that can reach higher temperatures.
2. Heating element type
- Common heating elements include resistance wire, silicon carbon rod, silicon molybdenum rod, etc.
- Resistance wire is low-cost and suitable for medium and low temperatures; silicon carbon rod is suitable for higher temperatures; silicon molybdenum rod can withstand very high temperatures.
- Choose according to your temperature requirements and budget.
3. Furnace tube material
- The material of the furnace tube will affect its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties.
- For example, quartz tubes are suitable for general experiments, high temperature resistance and good chemical stability; stainless steel tubes are more corrosion-resistant.
4. Furnace size
- Consider the amount of material you want to process and the size of the sample, and choose the appropriate furnace inner diameter, length and volume.
- A furnace that is too large may waste energy, and one that is too small may not meet the needs.
5. Rotation speed control
- Some configurations provide precisely adjustable rotation speeds to meet the requirements of material mixing for different experiments.
- Make sure the rotation speed range and accuracy meet your process requirements.
6. Atmosphere control function
- If your experiment needs to be carried out in a specific atmosphere (such as inert gas, reducing gas, etc.), choose a configuration with precise atmosphere control.
- Including functions such as gas flow control, pressure regulation and gas purity monitoring.
7. Temperature uniformity
- Understand the performance of different configurations in temperature uniformity, which is important to ensure the consistency of experimental results.
- Some high-end configurations may use special heating structures and insulation designs to improve temperature uniformity.
8. Control system
- Advanced control systems can provide more precise temperature control, more convenient operation interface and data recording functions.
- For example, systems controlled by programmable controllers (PLCs) are usually more stable and easy to operate.
9. Brand and after-sales service
- Well-known brands are usually more guaranteed in quality and performance.
- At the same time, understand the quality of the manufacturer's after-sales service, including installation and commissioning, training, maintenance response time, etc.
