Preheating Furnace
Preheating furnaces are an essential component in many industrial processes, particularly in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. These furnaces are designed to heat metal components to a specific temperature prior to further processing, such as forging, rolling, or welding. Preheating is critical to ensure that the metal is at the correct temperature and is consistent throughout the component, which can help prevent defects and ensure the final product meets the desired specifications.
Preheating furnaces are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, including batch, continuous, and rotary furnaces. They can be powered by gas, electricity, or induction heating, and can reach temperatures of up to 2000°C.
Function
The chamber is a climatic chamber specifically designed to perform carbonation tests on concrete samples.
Configuration
Preheating furnaces are available in a range of configurations including batch, continuous, and rotary.
Features
Preheating furnaces can include various features such as automatic temperature control, programmable heating cycles, and safety interlocks.
Temperature Range
The temperature range for preheating furnaces can vary depending on the metal being heated.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace is adjustable, with options for ramp and soak programming as per the process requirement.
Capacity
Preheating furnaces can be designed to handle a range of component sizes and weights.
Heat Source
Preheating furnaces can use various heat sources such as electricity, gas, and oil.
Power Requirement
The power requirements depend on the size and configuration of the equipment.
Atmosphere
Preheating furnace atmospheres may be customised for each metal. Nitrogen and hydrogen are common atmospheres.
