Can experimental rotary furnaces be supplied with hydrogen gas?

Experimental rotary furnace (also known as rotary tube furnace) can be supplied with hydrogen gas.
The experimental rotary furnace has high flexibility in design and function, and can meet various experimental and process requirements. In experiments that require a hydrogen atmosphere, a rotary tube furnace can be filled with hydrogen as the working gas. The process of passing hydrogen gas requires following certain operating steps and precautions to ensure the safety and accuracy of the experiment.
Specifically, the steps of introducing hydrogen gas may include:
Connect the hydrogen gas circuit and conduct leak detection at each joint to ensure no air leakage.
Confirm that all valves are in the closed state.
Slowly open the main valve and outlet pressure reducing valve of the hydrogen cylinder, and adjust the hydrogen flow rate to the appropriate value.
Connect the power supply of the mechanical pump and perform vacuum treatment inside the furnace to remove air and other impurities.
After confirming that the vacuum level inside the furnace meets the requirements, open the inlet valve of the rotary tube furnace and introduce hydrogen gas.
During the process of introducing hydrogen gas, it is necessary to closely monitor the changes in the furnace pressure and adjust the opening of the inlet and outlet valves to maintain the stability of the furnace pressure.
It should be noted that hydrogen is a flammable and explosive gas, so special care should be taken during the process of introducing hydrogen. It is necessary to ensure good ventilation in the laboratory and keep it away from sources of fire and heat. In addition, it is necessary to regularly maintain and inspect the equipment to ensure its normal operation and safety.
In short, the experimental rotary furnace can be operated with hydrogen gas, but it needs to be operated under the guidance of professional personnel and strictly follow relevant safety regulations and operating procedures.
