Vacuum First, Then Heat Proper Drying Oven Operation

Why Should You Evacuate Before Heating in a Vacuum Drying Oven

 

1) Protect the Vacuum Pump:

If you heat the oven before evacuating, the heated air will be drawn out by the vacuum pump. This process transfers heat to the pump, potentially causing it to overheat. Overheating can reduce the efficiency of the vacuum pump and may even damage it.

 

2) Preventing Damage to the Vacuum Gauge:

If heating the oven first, heated air would directed toward the Vacuum Gauge and cause this instrument to overheat. If the temperature exceeds the gauge's operational limits, it may lead to inaccurate readings or permanent damage.

3)Avoiding Safety Hazards:

The tested material is placed in the vacuum chamber that can remove extracted gases from the material. If the tested material is heated first, the gas will expand when it encounters heat. Due to the excellent sealing of the vacuum chamber, the immense pressure generated by the expanding gas could cause the tempered glass of the observation window to shatter.

 

The correct procedure is to evacuate air first and then heat. If the vacuum level drops after reaching the desired temperature, you can briefly re-evacuate. This method helps extend the lifespan of the equipment.

 

Conclusion:

To ensure safety, maintain equipment efficiency, and prolong the lifespan of vacuum drying oven, always follow the correct procedure: evacuate air first, then heat. This simple step can prevent potential hazards and costly damages.

Six Major Framework Structures and Operational Principles of Constant Temperature and Humidity Test Chambers

Refrigeration System

The refrigeration system is one of the critical components of a comprehensive test chamber. Generally, refrigeration methods include mechanical refrigeration and auxiliary liquid nitrogen refrigeration. Mechanical refrigeration employs a vapor compression cycle, primarily consisting of a compressor, condenser, throttle mechanism, and evaporator. If the required low temperature reaches -55°C, single-stage refrigeration is insufficient. Therefore, Labcompanion's constant temperature and humidity chambers typically use a cascade refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is divided into two parts: the high-temperature section and the low-temperature section, each of which is a relatively independent refrigeration system. In the high-temperature section, the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the low-temperature section's refrigerant, causing it to vaporize. In the low-temperature section, the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the air inside the chamber to achieve cooling. The high-temperature and low-temperature sections are connected by an evaporative condenser, which serves as the condenser for the high-temperature section and the evaporator for the low-temperature section.

 

Heating System

The heating system of the test chamber is relatively simple compared to the refrigeration system. It mainly consists of high-power resistance wires. Due to the high heating rate required by the test chamber, the heating system is designed with significant power, and heaters are also installed on the chamber's base plate.

 

Control System

The control system is the core of the comprehensive test chamber, determining critical indicators such as heating rate and precision. Most modern test chambers use PID controllers, while a few employ a combination of PID and fuzzy control. Since the control system is primarily based on software, it generally operates without issues during use.

Humidity System

The humidity system is divided into two subsystems: humidification and dehumidification. Humidification is typically achieved through steam injection, where low-pressure steam is directly introduced into the test space. This method offers strong humidification capacity, rapid response, and precise control, especially during cooling processes where forced humidification is necessary.

 

Dehumidification can be achieved through two methods: mechanical refrigeration and desiccant dehumidification. Mechanical refrigeration dehumidification works by cooling the air below its dew point, causing excess moisture to condense and thus reducing humidity. Desiccant dehumidification involves pumping air out of the chamber, injecting dry air, and recycling the moist air through a desiccant for drying before reintroducing it into the chamber. Most comprehensive test chambers use the former method, while the latter is reserved for specialized applications requiring dew points below 0°C, albeit at a higher cost.

 

Sensors

Sensors primarily include temperature and humidity sensors. Platinum resistance thermometers and thermocouples are commonly used for temperature measurement. Humidity measurement methods include the dry-wet bulb thermometer and solid-state electronic sensors. Due to the lower accuracy of the dry-wet bulb method, solid-state sensors are increasingly replacing it in modern constant temperature and humidity chambers.

 

Air Circulation System

The air circulation system typically consists of a centrifugal fan and a motor that drives it. This system ensures the continuous circulation of air within the test chamber, maintaining uniform temperature and humidity distribution.

Introduction of aluminum cans recycling line

Aluminum can recycling line generally consists of pre-shredder, shredder, hammer mill, magnetic separator, eddy current, middle feeding, decoating furnace, dust removal system.

 

If the raw material is mixed metal bale, first put the bale into pre-shredder for preliminary shredding; then convey the scrap metal to shredder through conveyor belt for further shredding. This can effectively protect the shredder blade. The scrap processed by shredder will be conveyed to hammer mill by conveyor belt. In hammer mill, the scrap will be processed into small pieces for later decoating. The magnetic separator will remove the iron impurities in the scrap by magnetic force. Then it will be conveyed to eddy current through conveyor belt. The eddy current separator will magnetize the scrap by electromagnetic induction principle. The eddy current itself will generate a magnetic field opposite to the original magnetic field, thereby ejecting the required scrap material and separating it from other non-conductive or weakly conductive materials. The final aluminum metal will go through the middle feeding, which can ensure that the material is uniform and continuously enters the decoating furnace for decoating treatment. The decoating furnace will be connected to the dust removal system for dust removal to solve the environmental protection problem of the operating environment.

 

We have recently sent two aluminum cans recycling lines to Russia and Malaysia. If you are interested in aluminum can recycling, please contact us.

The Metal Baler A Cornerstone of Modern Recycling
