The Centorr Vacuum Industries Series 45 High Temperature Vac-
uum or Controlled Atmosphere, Top Loading, Cold Wall, Graphite
HEAT ZONE SIZE Furnaces are simple and easy to operate.
From 6” Dia. x 6” High to 36” Dia. x 36” High A furnace system typically consists of the Basic Furnace Chamber
Assembly, the Evacuation System, the Process Gas System, the
Power Supply, the Temperature Control Instrumentation, and the
TEMPERATURE Furnace Mounting Assembly.
Up to: 1000°C (2012°F) These furnaces can be built having Heat Zone sizes of 6” ID x 6”
1650°C (3000°F) High to 36” ID x 36” High; and capable of operating up to 3000°C
2000°C (3632°F) (5432°F) in Argon. The Evacuation System is capable of attaining
2500°C (4532°F) 10—50 microns. The Furnace Chamber may be backfilled to 2
2800°C (5072°F) PSIG
3000°C (5432°F)
The Furnace is mounted on an open frame with the Evacuation Sys-
OPERATING PRESSURE tem immediately behind (or to one side) for maximum efficiency.
The Power Supply and Control Console are also located as close as
2 psig to 10-50 Microns possible to the Furnace Chamber. (In the case of small systems,
the Power Supply is housed inside of the Control Console).
The unit is ready to operate as soon as power is connected to the

main circuit breaker, and water inlet and drain connections are
made.

The Furnace is completely assembled and thoroughly tested prior to
Vacuum Industries shipping. A copy of test results will accompany shipment.

Basic Furnace Chamber Assembly
The Basic Furnace consists of a double wall, all stainless steel

(304L), water-jacketed chamber, inside of which is the Heat Zone.
The Heat Zone is resistance heated. The Heating Element is
made of Solid Graphite. Heat shielding is by Graphite Felt
pressed into solid form. Heat Zone components are readily ac-
cessible for inspection or maintenance. A graphite hearth is pro-
vided for work support.
The entire inside of the furnace chamber is designed to conform

to the best High Vacuum Practice. Particular attention is given to
the choice of heat zone materials and to surface finishes. Ports
are provided for Sighting, Thermocouples, Evacuation, Inert Gas
inlet and exit, Gauges, etc. Centorr Vacuum Industries’ proprie-
tary Rotatable Sight Window with gas port is included as standard
equipment.
Loading is done through the full opening Top Cover which is

pneumatically raised and manually swung to one side. Clamps
are provided for operation to slightly above ambient pressure.
Evacuation System
For operation in the 10—50 Microns range of vacuum or for Temperature Control Instrumentation

The Furnace Chamber is mounted on an open support

Power Supply System frame. Legs are provided with Leveling Pads. It is also
possible to lag the support frame to the floor.
Power Supply Systems consist of Silicon Controlled Rectifier
Power Controller (Saturable Core Reactors also available) with .
Current Limit, Step-down Transformer, Circuit Breaker, Contrac-
tor, Control Transformer, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Push-buttons, Indi-
cator Lights, Water Interlocks, all completely wired and packaged
in an attractive floor standing cabinet.
Utility requirements are given in KVA at customer’s Primary Volt-

age, Single or Three Phase, and 50 or 60 Hertz.
