The Model CNX is an explosion proof version of the conductive platen type vacuum oven.  Its energy source Model 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.
