Gas-Fired Radiant Tube Box Furnace
The gas-fired radiant tube box furnace is a type of industrial furnace that is designed for high-temperature heat treatment applications. It is well-insulated and energy-efficient, utilising radiant heat transfer to provide precise temperature control. This type of furnace consists of a combustion system, a series of radiant tubes, and a refractory-lined chamber.
The combustion system burns fuel such as natural gas or propane to produce hot combustion gases. These gases are then directed through the radiant tubes, which are made of a heat-resistant material such as ceramic. The radiant tubes emit infrared radiation, which is absorbed by the materials being treated inside the refractory-lined chamber. This method of heat transfer provides uniform heating and precise temperature control.
Function
It provides controlled heating and cooling cycles to achieve desired material properties.
Configuration
The furnace consists of a refractory-lined chamber with a gas-fired radiant tube heating system. The heating system consists of a network of tubes arranged in a U-shape that is heated by natural gas or propane.
Features
The furnace features a digital temperature controller, high-temperature safety cutoff, and an optional process controller. It is also equipped with a recirculating blower for improved temperature uniformity.
Temperature Range
The furnace can achieve temperatures up to 1150°C (2102°F) or as per requirement.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace can reach up to 100°F (56°C) per minute, depending on the load size and configuration.
