What is a Laboratory Muffle Furnace?
The laboratory muffle furnace is a high-temperature heating device commonly used in laboratories.
It usually consists of a sealed furnace, heating elements, temperature control system and shell. The furnace is generally made of high-temperature resistant materials and can withstand high temperatures.
The muffle furnace generates heat through heating elements to heat samples or experimental equipment placed in the furnace. Its heating temperature can be set and adjusted according to experimental requirements, and generally can reach a higher temperature, commonly reaching more than 1000℃.
In the laboratory, the muffle furnace is often used for sample burning, ashing, annealing, melting and other treatments, and is widely used in experiments and analysis work in many fields such as chemistry, materials science, geology, and biology.
The working principle of the laboratory muffle furnace is as follows:
The muffle furnace mainly relies on the internal heating elements to generate heat. Common heating elements include resistance wire, silicon carbon rod, etc.
When the heating element is energized, the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy. This heat is transferred to the inside of the furnace by radiation, convection and conduction.
Radiation refers to the heating element emitting energy directly to the surrounding space in the form of electromagnetic waves, which is absorbed by the furnace and the items in it.
Convection is the air flow circulation formed by the gas in the furnace expanding due to heat and decreasing density, and the cold air replenishes it, which promotes heat transfer.
Conduction is the direct transfer of heat to the sample through solid parts such as the furnace wall and sample holder.
The temperature inside the furnace is monitored by temperature sensors such as thermocouples or thermal resistors. The temperature sensor feeds the temperature signal back to the temperature control system, and the control system automatically adjusts the input power of the heating element according to the set temperature value, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature in the furnace and keeping it within the set temperature range.
In this process, the muffle furnace provides a high-temperature, stable and uniform heating environment for the experimental samples to meet the needs of various experiments and analyses.
