What is the reason for the slow heating of the box type atmosphere furnace?

The reasons for the slow heating of the box type atmosphere furnace may involve multiple aspects, and the following are some main reasons and explanations:
1. Material properties and dimensions
Thermal conductivity of materials: Different materials have different thermal conductivity coefficients, and materials with lower thermal conductivity have slower heat transfer during heating, resulting in a decrease in heating rate.
Material size: The larger the size of the material, the longer the heat transfer path, and the longer the time required for heat to be transferred from the outside to the inside, so the heating rate will be relatively slow.
2. Furnace structure and insulation performance
Furnace design: Unreasonable structural design of the furnace, such as excessively long heat transfer paths and large heat losses, can affect the heating rate.
Insulation materials: The selection and thickness setting of insulation materials directly affect the insulation effect of the furnace. If the insulation material has poor performance or insufficient thickness, it will cause rapid heat dissipation, thereby reducing the heating rate.
3. Heating element and power supply
Heating element aging: Heating elements may age after long-term use, reducing heating efficiency and slowing down the heating rate.
Unstable power supply voltage: Unstable power supply voltage can affect the heating power of the heating element, thereby affecting the heating rate.
4. Atmosphere control and vacuum degree
Atmosphere selection: Different atmospheres have different effects on the heat and mass transfer process inside the furnace, and choosing an inappropriate atmosphere may lead to a decrease in heating rate.
Vacuum degree: Changes in vacuum degree can affect the convective and radiative heat transfer effects inside the furnace, thereby affecting the heating rate. If the vacuum degree is insufficient or too high, it may cause a slower heating rate.
5. Wind circulation system
Poor air circulation: The air circulation system is an important component of the box type atmosphere furnace, which helps to evenly distribute the temperature inside the furnace. If the air circulation is not smooth, it will cause uneven temperature distribution inside the furnace, thereby affecting the heating rate.
6. Control system and PID parameters
Control system failure: The control system is the core part of the box type atmosphere furnace, responsible for temperature control and regulation. If the control system malfunctions, such as temperature sensor failure, controller failure, etc., it will affect the heating rate.
Improper PID parameter setting: PID parameters are important parameters used in control systems to regulate temperature. If the PID parameters are not set properly, it can lead to unstable temperature control or slow response speed, thereby affecting the heating rate.
7. Other factors
Equipment aging: Long term use of equipment may lead to performance degradation, including decreased accuracy and stability of heating elements, control systems, and other components, thereby affecting the heating rate.
Improper operation: Operators may slow down the heating rate due to misoperation or lack of understanding of equipment characteristics. For example, setting the temperature too low, setting the heating curve unreasonably, etc.
In summary, the reasons for the slow heating of the box type atmosphere furnace may involve multiple aspects such as material properties and dimensions, furnace structure and insulation performance, heating elements and power supply, atmosphere control and vacuum degree, air circulation system, control system and PID parameters, as well as equipment aging and improper operation. When solving such problems, possible causes should be investigated one by one, and corresponding solutions should be taken to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the stability of the heating rate.
