Can a rotary tube furnace be filled with atmosphere or evacuated?

Rotary tube furnace is a powerful laboratory equipment widely used in fields such as materials science, chemical engineering, energy research, etc. Its design features include the tilting of the furnace body, 360 degree rotation of the furnace tube, and the ability to circulate atmosphere and evacuate.

Atmosphere function:
The rotary tube furnace can be filled with inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, or reducing gases according to experimental requirements, providing a specific atmosphere environment for material processing.
The selection and regulation of atmosphere are important for controlling the chemical reaction process of materials, which helps to achieve ideal material properties.

Vacuum pumping function:
The rotary tube furnace can be connected to an external vacuum pump to evacuate the furnace environment to a vacuum state during operation.
A vacuum environment can effectively eliminate air and impurities, prevent adverse reactions between materials and oxygen in the air at high temperatures, and ensure the purity of materials.
The functional characteristics of the rotary tube furnace make it particularly suitable for material processing experiments that require precise control of atmosphere and temperature conditions. For example, in the synthesis of nanomaterials, sintering of ceramic materials, and heat treatment of lithium battery materials, a rotary tube furnace can provide a uniform temperature field and a specific atmosphere environment, promoting uniform heating and sufficient reaction of materials, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of experimental results.

In addition, the rotating design of the rotary tube furnace also helps to improve the uniform distribution of temperature and atmosphere inside the furnace, reduce material cracking or deformation caused by uneven thermal stress, and improve the accuracy and repeatability of experiments. At the same time, the inclined furnace body design also facilitates the loading, unloading, and operation of materials, improving work efficiency.
