4.4
Temperature Uniformity
Where accurate temperature control of the load is important, use the central part of the
chamber and place or distribute the load to allow free air circulation. Do not place loads
on the chamber floor: use the bottom shelf.
4.5
Explosive Vapours
Unless your product includes the stoving and curing option, this
model is not suitable for drying or heat treatment applications where
vapours are released that are combustible or which can form
explosive mixtures with air. Carbolite Gero manufactures other
products suitable for these applications.
4.6
Atmospheres
When an optional gas inlet is fitted, there is a label near the inlet saying "INERT GAS
ONLY". In practice, inert or oxidising gases may be used, but not combustible or toxic
gases.
The chamber is not gas tight, the gas usage may be high and the chamber is always
likely to contain some air. Residual oxygen of approximately 1% to 2% is to be
expected.
4.7
Interior Light (if fitted)
If fitted, the interior light is operated using the panel mounted switch.
It will only operate when the instrument switch is on.
4.8
Solenoid Valve with Manual Switch (if fitted)
If ordered the solenoid valve is operated using the panel mounted
switch. When the switch is in the 'ON' position the solenoid valve
will allow gas to
flow. Ensure the installation and use of the product does not create a hazardous
atmosphere. The workspace must have sufficient ventilation.
