Construction 

 
The LCC series oven has a type 304-2B stainless steel interior.  All interior seams are 
continuously welded on the insulation side.  This protects the work chamber from 
contaminated air and permits chamber washing without damaging the insulation.  
Interior chamber walls and silicon door gaskets (Viton Fluorocarbon on NV models) can 
be easily removed for cleaning.  Heater frame, fan wheel and motor shaft are 
constructed of stainless steel. 
 
Exteriors are steel finished in SilverClay  enamel, baked to a 2H hardness for chip and 
scratch resistance.  All controls are mounted on the front of the oven for easy operation 
and readability.  Two electropolished stainless steel wire shelves are provided.  The 
shelves are removable and adjustable on two inch centers. 
 
 

Cooling 

 
Air models have an adjustable fresh air damper which allows cooling of the oven.  
Nitrogen models have a stainless steel water coil.  When used in conjunction with the 
optional flowmeter the cooling coil permits rapid cooldown and low temperature 
operation. 
 
 

Inert Atmosphere 

 
An inert atmosphere option offers the advantages of both a clean room oven and inert 
atmosphere oven.  The nitrogen portion for the LCC series oven includes a manual 
three way valve and two flowmeters, connected by piping to the inlet connection on the 
lower back panel marked nitrogen supply.
