GC SERIES
Gravity convection ovens designed for general laboratory use when temperature
control and uniformity are less critical. Ideal when dependable performance is
demanded at a sensible price. Temperatures to 270 °C
(518°F). Choice of capacities—2.9, 3.8 and 4.8 cubic feet. Natural convection
enhanced by top and floor vents.
FC SERIES
Forced convection ovens feature a blower system for improved performance. An ideal
choice when temperature uniformity and control are important considerations. The
blower gently circulates heated air
throughout the chamber improving temperature uniformity and control. This forced
convection also reduces heat-up and recovery time. Temperatures to 270 °C
(518 °F). Digital display provides temperature readings.
Capacities of 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4 cubic feet are available.

†Accuracy and uniformity at 100°C. Rise Time in minutes to 100°C. Tests
run with empty oven and minimum exhaust. Performance will
vary with
load, exhaust rate and application. See Bulletin TC-920

EQUIPMENT Back to Top
Standard Electrical Characteristics
— 120 volts, 50-60 Hz, 3-wire cord and plug
— 240 volts, 50-60 Hz, 3-wire cord (Can be operated on 208 volts. Heat
input will be reduced by 20%.)
Standard Temperature Control System
Primary hydraulic control thermostat sets desired oven temperature. Second independent
safety thermostat for automatic over-temperature protection should the primary
thermostat fail. Pilot lights indicate which thermostat is controlling the temperature.
Digital temperature display provided on FC Series only.
GC SERIES
Gravity Convection
Heat is transferred directly from bottom up through the oven chamber and exits
by gravity convection through vents in top.
FC SERIES
Forced Convection
Includes forced circulation for improved temperature uniformity, large moist
loads, or to speed up drying times. Heated air is gently forced up both sides
of the oven chamber where it exits through openings in the side wall plenums.
It circulates through
the oven, is drawn down through the center of the chamber, re-heated and recirculated
Exhaust is through two vents in the top of the oven.
