Hydrogen gas safety system for high-temperature tube furnaces

Ensure safe and efficient hydrogen gas handling in high-temperature tube furnaces to protect your facility from potential hazards while maintaining precise control over your heat treatment processes.

Controls and Secures Hydrogen Gas in Furnaces

The Hydrogen Gas Safety System from Carbolite Gero is engineered to ensure the safe handling and control of hydrogen gas within high-temperature tube and chamber furnaces. This system is integral for laboratories and industries dealing with hydrogen-annealed metals and high-purity metal samples, solving the challenge of maintaining secure hydrogen environments under rigorous conditions.

The system utilizes an automatic nitrogen purging mechanism, activating before, during, and after hydrogen introduction, ensuring safety above 750°C. With adjustable flow meters, it allows precise blending of hydrogen and nitrogen to suit specific processes. Integrated with a monitored electrically heated gas ignitor, the system ensures complete hydrogen consumption, minimizing risks associated with uncombusted gases.

Compatible with various furnace types, including the CWF, TF, and FHA ranges, the system supports operations from room temperature to maximum furnace capabilities. It is particularly beneficial for applications in chemical processing, metal heat treatment, and material testing, where maintaining specific gas atmospheres is critical.

With a control cabinet and touch panel operation, the system offers both manual and automated control, ensuring seamless integration into production lines. Optional features include a high vacuum pump and sample thermocouple for enhanced thermal regulation. Designed in compliance with safety standards, it ensures robust protection with features such as over-pressure and excessive flow safeguards.

The Hydrogen Gas Safety System is a reliable choice for facilities aiming to achieve precise hydrogen environments safely, optimizing production in sectors such as aerospace, energy, and metallurgy.
