RHF-1500S is a bench-top atmosphere-controlled rapid heating furnace ( ACRHF) with a max working temperature of 1500 °C. The small furnace is designed for simulating a big kiln to find suitable sintering processing, and it is excellent for making single-crystal cathode powders for battery materials. SPECIFICATIONS Furnace Features Two heating zones with ceramic rollers in the middle to produce rapid heating Heating elements are made of SiC rods with a maximum. 1500oC working temperature The heating module is placed inside a vacuum chamber for atmosphere control from oxygen to inert gases. 400 mm long heating zone with 200mm constant temperature zone within +/- 2ºC Dual programmable temperature controllers provide +/-1ºC accuracy Two flowmeters are installed for gas flow control Power AC 208-240V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz 12 KW max ( 30A breaker and plug required ) 10-foot power cable included but without plug Heating chamber SiC rod as a heating element Heating Zone: Two heating zones with a total dimension of L400 x W150 x H89 mm ( 53L capacity) Constant temperature zone: 200 mm with +/- 3ºC Almina ceramic rods are middle of the heating chamber to hold the multi-crucibles Fiberus alumina is used as thermal insulation Max. working temperature: 1500°C max (< 60 minutes ) and 1400°C (continuous ) Max heating rate: 50 ºC/s Vacuum chamber The heating module is placed into a stainless steel vacuum chamber with KF 25 vacuum port Dial vacuum gauge Gas inlet and outlet port ( 1/4) Two hinged types doors for loading and unloading samples Temperature Control Two temperature controllers for controlling two zones independently via SCR PID automatic control with up to 30 programmable segments for precise control of heating rate, cooling rate, and dwell time. Over-temperature protection and alarm allow for operation without attendant(s). Two S-type thermal couples are included ± 1 ºC temperature accuracy for dwelling. RS485 Communications Port. PC Control: An MTS-02 control module is included for PC control on this furnace. We recommend ordering a computer (laptop) from us to avoid software installation problems as we will perform installation and testing before shipping.
