Chamber furnaces robust furnaces for many years of use

What is a chamber oven?

In chamber ovens, products or materials are heated in batches and exposed to the necessary temperature in an enclosed space. As a laboratory oven, this oven is particularly compact and corresponds to one of the simplest designs.

It consists of stable furnace walls with a very good insulating effect and an opening for filling the furnace. The heat is usually supplied simultaneously by heating coils on several sides, resulting in a temperature uniformity distribution inside the oven.

Chamber furnace: Applications

Chamber furnaces are industrial furnaces that achieve temperatures of 300 °C and up to 2200 °C on average. For this reason they can be used in a wide range of applications. These include, for example, the production of glasses or materials for the solar industry, but also use in the metal and plastics processing industry as well as tool and fitting construction.

Due to its high temperatures, a chamber oven or box furnace is also particularly suitable for ceramics. In addition to production, drying processes, heat treatment and material testing are also among the relevant areas of application for a chamber oven.

Oven types and design variants

Due to the large number of possible applications, chamber furnaces can differ in their design and function. Above all, different maximum temperatures as well as the form of storage and heating as well as the type of loading are relevant distinguishing features.

Maximum temperature

Depending on the application, different temperatures are necessary for the use of a chamber oven. The higher the max. temperature, the higher the energy consumption and the more important it is that the laboratory oven is optimally insulated.

For drying processes, low temperatures are sufficient, such as with the Nabertherm 450 °C high-temperature drying oven. A temperature controller helps you to find the right temperature. For sintering processes, temperatures of up to 1200 °C are necessary, as achieved by the Nabertherm high-temperature furnace with fiber insulation.

Type of opening and loading

A chamber furnace can be loaded from the front or from the top. The furnaces at MedSolut.com can all be loaded from the front and differ mainly in the type of opening.

This can be a revolving door, a lifting door or a hinged door. The design allows loading that is adapted to personal preferences.

Type of heating

Chamber ovens are usually heated from heating elements on several sides. This ensures a uniform temperature distribution. Ceramic heating plates with built-in heating coils can be used as heating plates. Thermconcept laboratory furnaces, such as the KLS 30/06/BIT laboratory furnace, have horizontal air circulation in addition to heating from several sides.

Volume

The volume of chamber furnaces can vary greatly depending on the model. Depending on the application, it may be relevant to heat only a small volume. For larger components or simultaneous treatment of several articles, a larger volume is often advantageous. In most cases, you can choose from different sizes for your preferred model.

The Nabertherm compact preheating oven with hinged door is a rather small volume model with a capacity of up to 14 litres, while the Nabertherm high temperature drying oven (850 °C) can reach a volume of up to 500 litres.

Dimensions

The dimensions of a chamber oven depend on the desired oven volume and the thickness of the insulation. Another aspect to be considered is the space available in the working area. If the available capacity is small, compact furnaces such as the Nabertherm preheating furnace with lift trough are suitable for installation on existing laboratory benches. Otherwise, we recommend a furnace with an integrated base, such as the Nabertherm Chamber Furnace with Stone Insulation.
