Daily maintenance of box type atmosphere furnace

The daily maintenance of the box type atmosphere furnace is crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, extending its service life, and improving the accuracy and safety of experiments or production. Here are some key points for daily maintenance of box type atmosphere furnaces:

1. Pre use inspection
Inspection of furnace body and sealing components:
Before each use, check whether the furnace body, furnace door, and sealing components are damaged or deformed, ensure that the furnace door is tightly closed, and prevent gas leakage.
Heating element inspection:
Confirm that the heating element is connected properly, without short circuits or open circuits, and ensure even heating.
Atmosphere pipeline and valve inspection:
Check whether the atmosphere pipeline and valves are intact, ensure no leaks, and guarantee the purity and flow rate of the atmosphere.

2. Monitoring and maintenance during operation
Temperature monitoring:
Closely monitor the temperature inside the furnace to ensure that the temperature setting is consistent with experimental or production requirements, and avoid equipment damage or inaccurate experimental results caused by excessively high or low temperatures.
Atmosphere monitoring:
Monitor the changes in the atmosphere inside the furnace according to experimental or production requirements to ensure the stability and purity of the atmosphere.
Regularly drain water and replace filters:
The water filter should be drained in a timely manner, especially for the air path, which must be drained regularly to prevent moisture from damaging the equipment.
When the filter element of the dust filter is yellow or black, it should be replaced immediately to ensure the purity of the gas.

3. Cleaning and maintenance after use
Furnace cleaning:
Clean up the debris, dust, and scale inside the furnace, keep the furnace clean, and prevent any impact on experimental results or production equipment.
Maintenance of heating elements and thermocouples:
Regularly check the connection of heating elements for looseness, deformation, breakage, etc., and replace damaged heating elements in a timely manner.
Regularly calibrate thermocouples to ensure the accuracy of temperature measurements.
Seal maintenance:
Regularly inspect the sealing components of furnace doors, pipelines, and other parts. If there is aging or damage, replace them in a timely manner to prevent gas leakage.
Gas system maintenance:
Check whether the gas flow meter, pressure reducing valve, valve, etc. are normal, regularly replace the gas filter, and ensure the purity and flow rate of the gas.
Electrical system inspection:
Check the connection and working status of electrical components such as wires, plugs, and controllers to ensure the safety of the electrical system.

4. Other precautions
Lubricating moving parts:
Regularly lubricate the hinges, sliding rails, and other moving parts of the furnace door to ensure smooth opening and closing of the furnace door.
Regular maintenance:
According to the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer, regular comprehensive maintenance and upkeep should be carried out, including checking the various performance indicators of the equipment, replacing vulnerable parts, etc.
Safe operation:
Operators should receive professional training, be familiar with the operation manual and safety regulations of the equipment, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

In summary, the daily maintenance of box type atmosphere furnaces involves multiple aspects, including pre use inspections, monitoring and maintenance during operation, cleaning and maintenance after use, and other precautions. Only by doing these maintenance work well can we ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the box type atmosphere furnace.
