Lindberg/MPH, Riverside, Mich., has shipped a large-chamber utility box furnace to an automotive supplier for batch testing aluminum castings on a daily basis at a temperature of 932°F. The work chamber dimensions of this heat treat furnace are 24x24x 24 inches, and its maximum temperature rating is 2000°F. The furnace is available in nine chamber sizes to meet demanding applications.
Electrically heated, the furnace utilizes vacuum-formed ceramic fiber insulation with low heat loss for operating economy and minimum heat storage, which results in rapid heat up and control response. To ensure even less heat loss, double steel shell construction creates a low-temperature outer surface. The insulation and heating elements maintain uniform heat distribution for an energy-efficient design.
The furnace incorporates a prewired, side mounted, forced-air cooled control console, which features a Honeywell DC2500 Series primary temperature controller and a separate Honeywell DC2500 Series excess temperature controller.
“For this project, we designed a custom heating system to minimize heat loss and provide energy efficiency,” says Andrew Paul, Sales Engineer.
