    The document provides instructions for conducting a bake-out procedure for single zone furnaces to remove moisture from the insulation before use. The procedure involves slowly raising the temperature over 6 hours in 4 steps to 1000°C to dry out the insulation and release smoke and vapors, ensuring adequate ventilation. The furnace should be checked, emptied, vented and raised to 10-40°C above normal operating temperature to fully stabilize it before normal use.

    Bake-Out Procedure for Single Zone Furnaces

    The furnace contains carefully selected insulation to permit the best possible operation. This insulation inherently contains moisture that must be slowly and completely removed before the furnace can be fully utilized. During this drying period, a small quantity of smoke and vapors from the binders in the embedding cement will also be emitted. The smoke will have a bad odor, so provide adequate ventilation. Please inspect the furnace prior to the bake-out procedure. Please be sure that the furnace core is empty, that nothing is inside of it (i.e. no papers, office supplies, tools etc). Please be sure that nothing is on the exterior of the furnace as well. Please follow the recommended procedure to properly dry out the furnace insulation for maximum operating success. 1. Position the furnace vertically or to a position not lower than 30 degrees to the horizontal. 2. Leave the furnace ends open. 3. Vent the smoke outside through the use of a hood or exhaust collector. 4. Make certain that the core is empty. 5. Check the furnace power leads for possible shorts. 6. Raise the temperature of the zones being fired to a minimum of 1000 C in four steps: 200 C for two (2) hours 400C for two (2) hours 800C for one (1) hour 1000C for one (1) hour After the initial drying out run, the furnace should be run approximately 10C - 40C above the normal operating temperature, without exceeding the rated temperature, to fully stabilize the furnace. Under no circumstances should the rated temperature of the furnace be exceeded. WARNING: Due to the possibility of combustible gases being given off by the refractory cement binders as the furnace is heated, MELLEN recommends operating the furnace in a tilted or vertical position prevent local hot spots an possible damage to the heating elements or element. Both ends of the bore should be open and the bore empty. After the initial run, the furnace can be operated normally.
