Inert Atmosphere Ovens

These ovens protect parts from oxidation using any non-flammable gas such as Nitrogen, Argon or Carbon Dioxide. Horizontal air flow completely surrounds work on shelves or large parts placed directly on the optional reinforced work space bottom. Includes cooling jacket which can be equipped with optional cooling blower and automatic dampers. Installation of optional atmosphere purge solenoid, cooling blower and programming temperature controller provides completely automatic sequencing.

Inert Atmosphere Ovens Model Specifications:

Not for use with flammable solvents, vapors, or gases.

  • SCR Power Controller

    Electrical modification adding an SCR Power Controller. Features:

    •Silicon controlled rectifier power controllers are completely solid state industrial controllers that ensure precise proportioning of electric power to the heating elements.

    •Oven temperature is maintained smoothly and evenly over the entire temperature range of the unit.

    •SCR power controllers minimize maintenance, as there are no moving parts or electrical contacts to wear out.

    •Heating element fatigue is reduced since the elements do not cool between releases of electric power.

    •Zero voltage firing, including the first one half cycle of voltage, minimizes radio frequency and electromagnetic interference.

    •Transient voltage suppressor networks are included, and the units are provided with protective fusing.
