What is a Vertical Tube Furnace?
A vertical tube furnace is a tubular heating device, the main feature of which is that the furnace tube is placed vertically.
This type of furnace usually consists of a furnace body, a heating element, a temperature control system, a furnace tube, and gas inlet and outlet.
The vertical design allows the material to fall or flow naturally in the furnace tube by gravity, which has unique advantages in certain processes.
Vertical tube furnaces are often used in heat treatment, chemical synthesis, sintering, annealing and other processes of various materials. Because its internal space is relatively concentrated and the temperature distribution is relatively uniform, it can provide a relatively stable and controllable heating environment for experiments and production.
Compared with other types of tube furnaces, vertical tube furnaces may be different in structure and operation, and the specific application depends on the process requirements and operating conditions.
Working Principle of Vertical Tube Furnace:
The core part of the vertical tube furnace is the vertically placed furnace tube, which is usually made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as quartz tubes or stainless steel tubes.
The heating elements are distributed around the furnace tube. Common heating elements include resistance wires, silicon carbon rods, etc. When the power is turned on, the heating element begins to heat up, and the generated heat is transferred to the inside of the furnace tube through thermal radiation, heat conduction, etc.
The material to be processed is placed in the furnace tube. During the heating process, the heat is gradually transferred to the material, causing its temperature to rise, thereby causing various physical and chemical changes.
The temperature control system is responsible for monitoring and adjusting the temperature in the furnace. The temperature in the furnace is sensed by the sensor, and the signal is fed back to the controller. The controller adjusts the power output of the heating element according to the set temperature value to maintain a stable temperature environment.
At the same time, according to specific process requirements, specific gases can be introduced into the furnace tube through the gas inlet and outlet, such as inert gas (nitrogen, argon) to protect the material, or reactive gas to participate in chemical reactions.
The materials complete the corresponding treatment process in the vertical furnace tube under the set temperature, atmosphere and time conditions, such as heating decomposition, crystallization, oxidation, reduction, etc.
The entire working process relies on precise temperature control, suitable atmosphere conditions and reasonable material placement and flow to achieve the expected treatment effect and product quality.
