OTF-1500X-UL series furnaces are split-able alumina tube furnaces with SiC heating elements. The furnace can be installed with 2"or 3" O.D high-quality alumina tubes along with a pair of smart stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges that can take either a valve/gauge which allows for heating samples under vacuum or flowing gas conditions up to 1500°C. The precision temperature controller can provide 30 segments of heating and cooling steps with +/- 1°C accuracy. 
Note#1: Updated from GSL-1500X-OTF with UL standard components and Vertical SiC rod since 6-24- 2015
Note#2: New safety feature: An interlock system has been integrated into the furnace structure since June.2015

Furnace Structure
  • Double-layer steel casing with air cooling to keep furnace surface temperature lower than 60°C.
  • High-purity fibrous alumina insulation for Max. Energy-saving.
  • The special refractory coating on the inner increases furnace life.
  • Two pairs of fibrous ceramic tube blocks are included to block heat radiation from inside the tube. (Ceramic blocks must be fully inserted into the furnace chamber before heating)
  • Split cover with Interlock protection, cut the power if the door opens during the furnace heating process.
Input voltage
208 - 240VAC SINGLE PHASE, 50/60Hz
Power
6.0 KW (40A Breaker Required)
Heating temperature



  • Max. heating temperature: 1500°C (< 1hr) 
  • Continuously heating temperature: 1400°C
  • Heating rate 10°C /min Max. and cooling rate < 10 °C /min Max. for alumina tube 
  • Note: if using alumina tube: Heating rate: 10°C /min Max. and cooling rate < 5 °C /min Max.
  • The S-type thermal couple is included.
  • 16 pcs SiC rod as heating elements (1500 grade) Pls click pic left to order spare or replacement
  • Notice: Customers will install SiC rods on-site by themselves as instruction manual because they are easy to damage during shipping.
  • Please notice, for the SIC heating element, it is a consumable part, and not covered by warranty, and usually, its service life is one year.
Heating zone &
Constant Temperature Zone
  • Total heating zone length: 390mm
  • Constant temperature zone: 150 mm (+/-2°C)
Temperature Controller
  • FA-YD518P-AG temperature controller included.
  • Proportional–integral–derivative control (PID control) and auto-tune function
  • 30 segments programmed with ramping, cooling, and dwelling steps
  • Built-in over-temperature alarm and thermocouple failure alarm
  • +/- 1 ºC temperature control accuracy
  • Default DB9 / PC communication port
Vacuum Sealing
  • One pair of stainless steel vacuum flange is included in the package.
  • Two pairs of fibrous ceramic tube blocks are included to block heat radiation from the inside tube. (Ceramic blocks must be fully inserted into the furnace chamber before heating)
  • For a fast & better vacuum, suggest you use stainless steel pipe ( click to order at extra cost ) 
                          
Vacuum level 10^-2 torr by a mechanical vacuum pump.
10^-5 torr by Turbomolecular pump.
Leak rate < 5 mtorr / min.
Pressure Measurement / Monitoring
  • Standard mechanical vacuum gauge measures within a pressure range of -0.1 to 0.15Mpa.
  • OPTIONAL: A gas-type independent (above 10 mbar) digital vacuum gauge with a wide range between 3.8x10-5 to 1125 Torr. Aside from greater measurement precision, this gauge reduces the risks of chamber explosions caused by the incorrect reading of gas pressures due to gas-type dependency.
             
Laptop, software (Optional)
   
  • Brand new laptop with Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2013 (30 days free trial)
  • Labview-Based Temperature Control System (MTS01)enables the user to edit temperature profiles, manage heat-treatment recipes, and record and plot data for MTI furnaces.
Compliance
  • CE Certified
  • NRTL(UL61010) or CSA certification is available at extra cost.

  • Proper placement of tube blocks
  • The furnace can grow 3C-SiC film on Si; please read the below article to see the procedure

Warning

Click here to learn more about the installation of a gas regulator.

  • The tube furnaces with alumina tubes are designed for use under vacuum and low pressure <3 psig
  • Attention: A pressure regulator must be installed on your input gas tank
  • Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heating process; please open the gas release valve immediately once the chamber pressure has reached over 3 PSI to prevent unforeseeable damage.
  • The flow rate for gasses should be limited to < 200 SCCM (or 200ml/min)
  •  Vacuum pressures may only be safely used up to 1300°C
Attention Notes
  • Performance degradation (i.e. furnace cannot reach the maximum temperature of 1500°C) is normal due to aging of SiC heating elements. It is time to replace all the heating elements. Please order the replacements from the standard package list below.
