| THERMOELECTRIC EQUIPMENT |
It consists of silite rods used with low
surface load for lower ageing and improved constant temperature
of the muffle. The silite rods are laid transversally to the
chamber, on the furnace crown under the hearth. The incandescent
part corresponds to the width of the muffle. The terminal metal
ends protruding from the two sides of the furnace are connected
through special clamps devised to prevent overheating. A natural
draught cools the connections. The number of silite rods used
to make a thermoelectric equipment vary according to the type
of furnace and to the maximum temperature achievable. |
| |
| SUPPLYING POWER TO THE RODS |
Thanks to an adapted transformer used to
adjust power supplying in order to offset the increased resistivity
of the rods in time (ageing).
|
| |
| AUTOMATIC SETTING |
Through a P.I.D. potentiometric pyrometer
linked to a Pt.PtRh thermocouple set inside the muffle and protected
by a ceramic covering. |
| |
| SUPPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT |
Used to check machine load and the wearing
away of the rods.

Silicon carbide resistor furnaces are devised
to carry out high temperature treatments in perfect safety. Such
safety features are the result of great attention to the following:
- Accurate choice of the materials used
- Wide and progressive insulation
- Separation of the muffle from the external steelwork
- The use of low surface load resistors
|
| GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS |
The furnaces belonging to this group are built
starting from the floor and consist mainly of two parts:
- The external muffle is separate from the steelwork
-
The external steelwork

| |
| DOOR |
Quick sliding opening device through a lever
set by the furnace. Upon opening the door, a microchip disconnects
the heating elements. |
| |
| TREATMENT CHAMBER |
It is made of refractory silica alumina with
heat and thermal shock resistant silicon carbide hearth. |
| |
| THERMAL INSULATION |
| With separate refractories characterized by separate thermal conductivity. |
| |
| SPECIAL FUNCTIONS |
Screened muffle when the substances treated
may damage the silite rods. The top temperature is dropped by
100 °C during the screened function. INERT OR REDUCING ATMOSPHERES. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
- Daily or weekly timer
- Temperature-time setting unit
- Automatic compensation for ageing of the resistors
