Una dintre cele mai comune aplicații pentru cuptoarele de laborator este de a încălzi probele combustibile pentru a analiza reziduurile de cenușă. Deoarece nu există o singură soluție pentru toate cerințele, Carbolite Gero oferă o gamă de cuptoare de calcinare cu caracteristici adaptate aplicațiilor de calcinare și ardere.
An ashing furnace is a type of chamber furnace designed to allow materials to be burned at a closely controlled temperature. Air is drawn into the chamber by the tall chimney and is forced to pass between the insulation layers so that it is pre-heated before entering the chamber. This ensures that samples near the air inlet are not cooled by the airflow and byproducts that could attack the elements are thereby flushed out of the ashing furnace.
Ashing furnaces are frequently used in the testing of foods, plastics, and hydrocarbon materials such as coal. Tests may be defined within standard test methods, typical examples of which are ISO 1171:2010 and ASTM D3174-12.
The difference between a standard laboratory and an ashing furnace is primarily the supply of preheated air to promote burning. Ashing furnaces are specially designed to have increased airflow to facilitate the combustion and subsequent ashing of materials.
