The forced convection oven is a kind of equipment that realizes material drying, curing, heat treatment, sterilization and other operations by means of forced circulation of air by fans.
Here are some key points and considerations to consider when choosing a forced convection oven:
Selection points
Temperature control accuracy: Forced convection ovens need to be able to accurately control the temperature, and generally require a control accuracy higher than ±1°C.
Temperature range: The temperature range of the forced convection oven should meet the experimental requirements, and the corresponding temperature range should be selected according to the experimental needs.
Oven volume: The oven volume needs to be selected according to the size and quantity of experimental samples to ensure that all experimental samples can be accommodated.
Fan type: There are many types of fans for forced convection ovens. It is necessary to select the appropriate fan type according to the experimental requirements, including centrifugal, axial flow, mixed flow, etc.
Control method: There are two control methods: manual and digital. The digital control method can control the temperature and time more accurately. It is recommended to choose the digital control method.
Safety: The use of forced convection ovens needs to pay attention to safety, and it is necessary to choose equipment with safety protection measures, such as over-temperature protection, leakage protection, etc.
Precautions
Regular maintenance: Forced convection ovens require regular maintenance and maintenance, including cleaning and refueling, to ensure the normal operation and life of the equipment.
Safe operation: When operating the forced convection oven, you need to pay attention to safe operation to avoid dangers such as overheating, electrical problems, and fan failures.
Cleanliness and hygiene: Forced convection ovens need to be kept clean and hygienic to avoid problems such as sample contamination and equipment failure.
Sample Preparation: When using a forced convection oven, it is important to pay attention to sample preparation and loading to ensure that the sample meets the requirements of the oven and is loaded safely inside the oven.
Monitoring the experimental process: During the experimental process, the temperature and time of the oven need to be monitored to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the experiment.
Air volume monitoring: When using a forced convection oven, it is necessary to pay attention to the monitoring of the air volume, so as not to affect the experimental results if the air volume is too large or too small.
