Customised furnaces supplied
March 1st 2011 Carbolite has supplied the
Fraunhofer Institute for Physical
Measurement Techniques
(Fraunhofer IPM) in Freiburg,
Germany, with a
test rig that
comprises two
specially customised
wire wound
horizontal threezone
tube furnaces.
The furnaces will
provide the Institute's research teams
with a processing system for studying
and improving the thermo-electrical
properties of advanced
thermoelectric materials and systems.
Units are designed to maximize
operational flexibility by combining
the two, three-zone furnaces to form
a single large multi-zone furnace or
separating them to give
two differently heated
regions with a gradient of
200°C between the two.
To provide a more userfriendly,
ergonomic
working environment the
furnace systems feature
separate controller boxes that have
been positioned under the
worktable. More articles from Carbolite: |
