How to extend the service life of laboratory biomass pyrolysis tube furnace?
Here are some operating methods to extend the service life of laboratory biomass pyrolysis tube furnaces:
1. Correct startup and shutdown procedures
- When starting up, the power supply, heating system, etc. should be turned on gradually according to the requirements of the equipment manual to avoid instantaneous high current shocks. When shutting down, turn off the heating system first, and then turn off the power after the temperature drops to a safe range.
2. Control temperature and heating rate
- Avoid exceeding the rated temperature of the tube furnace and rapid temperature changes, which may cause damage to the furnace material and aging of the heating elements.
3. Keep it clean
- Regularly clean the dust, debris and residual samples inside the furnace to prevent them from corroding and damaging the furnace and heating elements.
4. Sample handling
- Ensure that the biomass samples placed in the tube furnace are dry, pure, and free of impurities and moisture to reduce pollution and corrosion to the furnace.
5. Load samples evenly
- The samples should be evenly distributed in the furnace to avoid local overheating or overcooling, which will affect the service life of the furnace.
6. Regular inspection and maintenance
- Regularly check whether the heating elements, thermocouples, sealing parts, etc. are working properly, and replace them in time if damaged.
7. Pay attention to atmosphere control
- Accurately control the type and flow of gas introduced according to the experimental requirements to prevent incorrect atmosphere from damaging the equipment.
8. Avoid collision and vibration
- When operating and moving the tube furnace, be careful and gentle to avoid collision and severe vibration.
9. Operator training
- Ensure that the operator is familiar with the operation methods and precautions of the tube furnace and operates strictly in accordance with the regulations.
10. Protection when idle
- If the tube furnace is not used for a long time, protective measures such as moisture and dust should be taken.
