1.2.6. Process Exhaust Requirements
In most applications, process exhaust and heat should be vented to the outside
atmosphere. It is the customer's responsibility to review the process, local laws,
and facility in deciding on an exhaust system. Insulated exhaust tubing and a
collector hood with a 4 inch inside diameter, or larger, is routinely used. Do not
make any direct connections to the chamber exhaust stacks. A minimum 8.0”
clearance between the exhaust stacks and venting device is required
1.2.7. Installation of the Transport Belt
A portion of the transport belt which goes through the furnace chamber was
intentionally left uninstalled to protect the furnace interior during shipment. When
installing the belt, it will be helpful to have an assistant available to help guide the
belt into the furnace entrance.
1.2.7.1.
The portion of the belt which goes through the furnace is rolled up and
secured at the entrance end of the furnace. Unroll the belt and attach it
securely to the pull wire that was left in the furnace
chamber.
1.2.7.2.
Pull the belt through the chamber from the exit end of the furnace, while
an assistant guides the belt into the entrance.
1.2.7.3.
Once the belt has been pulled completely through the chamber, remove
and discard the pull wire. Splice as shown in Figure below.
1.2.8. Removal of Shipping Restraint Screws
Large furnaces operating at high temperatures experience considerable growth from
thermal expansion. All models are equipped with support slides which allow stress
free expansion to take place. To secure the process chamber during shipment,
restraining brackets (painted red) attach directly between the chamber and frame.
