How This Furnace Cooling System Works
Our argon or nitrogen self-circulation furnace cooling system will cool outlet hot gas to room
temperature in a specially designed heat exchanger, then re-circulate the gas back through the
furnace chamber.
This self-circulation cooling system works by sending cooled inert gas through the furnace
heating chamber. As inert gas flows through the products and heating chamber, inert gas picks up
heat from products and refractory. The heated argon or nitrogen gas passes through an outlet of
the furnace to the electrically cooled heat exchanger. Once the inert gas is cooled, it returns
to the furnace chamber to absorb more heat. The air compressor will keep the gas moving through
this furnace cooling system.
The gas flow rate can be adjusted by a gas flow rate valve. Fresh gas from the gas cylinder will
be continually injected into the cooling system to compensate for the gas leakage in the system.
