The argon flow during a Crypton sintering cycle is 1 l/min.
Determining the amount of argon remaining:
The pressure gauge shows how much compressed argon is left in
the argon cylinder. A new argon gas cylinder is filled to 200 bar. If
the pressure reading is only half of that, i.e. 100 bar, the bottle is
half empty.
Example:
At a pressure of 200 bar, a 50-litre argon gas cylinder contains
about 10,000 litres of argon.
At a flow rate of 1 l/min, about 270 litres are used during each
Crypton sintering cycle.
This means that a 50-liter argon gas cylinder is sufficient for
approximately 35 Crypton sintering cycles.
6.3 Connecting to mains
Fig. 10: Connecting to mains.
Connect the high-temperature furnace to a properly installed
230-V wall outlet.
Make sure that the protective earth (PE) is intact and properly
connected. The earthing contacts of the power outlet must be
clean and uncorroded.
The wall outlet must be protected by an appropriately
dimensioned fuse (overload).
Ensure that the electrical connection requirements are met
( for appropriate values see section 3, Technical
specifications, page 11).
6.4 Commissioning
6.4.1 Removing the transport lock
1. Turn on the furnace with the On/Off switch.
2. Press the START/STOP button to open the furnace.
3. Remove the transport lock (cardboard) completely.
