CNX Vacuum Oven
The
Model CNX is an explosion proof version of the conductive
platen type vacuum oven. Its energy source is either an
electrically heated or oil heated platen or shelf. The
shelving units are typically constructed of either stainless
steel or aluminum, depending on application. These ovens are
primarily used in applications where high uniformity,
control stability and rapid heating/cooling abilities are
needed. Temperature capabilities include:
-
Electrically heated Aluminum - 662° F (350° C)
-
Oil
heated Aluminum - 392° F (200° C)
-
Electrically heated Stainless Steel - 752° F (400° C)
The
Model CNX upgrades our standard CN design by using a purge
system to blanket its electrical system from highly volatile
gases or dusts during product processing. Purge units X, Y
and Z are implemented on our sealed housing system in
accordance to NFPA 496. The entire system is electrically
constructed with all class and division rated conduit,
fittings and Mineral insulated cables. We also use
intrinsically safe barriers, isolators and power supplies to
further achieve Class & Division ratings and the highest of
safety levels.
Oil
heated platens feature ultra high uniformity and stability
in multiple platen environments it also is capable rapid
cooling when in-line tube and shell heat-exchangers are
used. Oil heated units come complete with pump, expansion
tank, heater and all necessary control valves. These
systems are fully plumbed, wired and connected to operate in
your hazardous location. Furthermore we can construct the
oil heated systems with a break-out pumping skid which can
be located in non hazardous locations which is then remotely
interfaced to the oven unit itself. This option is
extremely cost effective and sometimes space saving for
larger systems that are located in high-end floor plan space
such as labs, clean rooms and dry rooms. We use only
environmentally friendly thermal oils from Paratherm
Corporation, which can be easily disposed of by proper local
waste systems and waste management companies.
Electrically heated platens are individually controlled
ensuring maximum uniformity and stability. It also gives
you the ability to set platens up to operate at different
temperatures. Electrically heated platens are easy to
remove and clean, which make them ideal for high purity and
clean room applications. The number of platens in the
chamber are specified by the customer and is usually
determined by the minimum distance between platens. The
platens can be liquid cooled to promote rapid cooling and
precision temperature control. Cooled platens come fully
plumbed and ready for operation and require a static drain
for pre-heating platen purging. Control type, pumps, traps
and other options and accessories are all configurable on
the Model CNX.
The
advantages of Model CNX include precision control,
uniformity, and rapid heating & cooling.
