What is a diesel furnace?
A diesel furnace is a piece of equipment that produces heat by burning diesel. In addition to the burner, the furnace also has a blower to circulate the heat along with vents that remove the byproducts of combustion and allow fresh air to flow into the burner for a steady burn rate.
What is muffle in muffle furnace?
A Muffle furnace allows rapid high-temperature heating, recovery, and cooling in self-contained, energy-efficient cabinets. A muffle furnace separates the object to be heated from all byproducts of combustion from the heat source. The insulating material effectively acts as a muffle, preventing heat from escaping.
What fuel is used in furnace?
Today, furnaces typically use one of three types of energy: natural gas, electricity, or propane.
How are furnaces classified?
Based on the method of generating heat, furnaces are broadly classified into two types namely combustion type (using fuels) and electric type. Based on the mode of charging of material furnaces can be classified as (i) Intermittent or Batch type furnace or Periodical furnace and (ii) Continuous furnace.
What is a muffle furnace and how does it work?
A Muffle Furnace’s primary attribute is that it has separate combustion and heating chambers. The “Retort” is a gas sealed chamber that the material to be heated is placed in. This was really important in the “old days” because the by-products of combustion would otherwise have contaminated the heating process.
What is the working principle of an electric furnace?
The working principle is based on the law of conservation of energy. That is, from electric energy to heat energy. When the electric furnace works normally, voltage and current are applied to the heating element (resistance).
What is the maximum temperature of the cm muffle furnace?
For these industries, CM offers the CM-300 Series, a high temperature molywound Muffle Furnace capable of temperatures up to 1800°C in hydrogen, dissociated ammonia, forming gas or any other reducing atmosphere.
What is a muffle oven used for?
Historically, small muffle ovens were often used for a second firing of porcelain at a relatively low temperature to fix overglaze enamels; these tend to be called muffle kilns. The pigments for most enamel colours discoloured at the high temperatures required for the body and glaze of the porcelain.
