Nabertherm High-Temperature Furnace LHTC 08/16/C550, 8 l, Tmax 1,600 °C, Flap Door, LC084K6ON8

Product information "Nabertherm High-Temperature Furnace LHTC 08/16/C550, 8 l, Tmax 1,600 °C, Flap Door, LC084K6ON8"

The Nabertherm high-temperature furnace LHTC 08/16 is the large size in the SiC series with 8 litres of usable space and Tmax 1,600 °C. The flap door can also be used as a shelf, the same size is also available with a lift door as the LHTCT 08/16 at no extra cost. In both cases, control is via the C550 touch controller.

Construction and connection

The interior measures 170 x 290 x 170 mm, externally the furnace measures 490 x 625 x 540 mm, with the LHTCT model open, up to 255 mm of additional height is added. The weight is 58 kg. With a connected load of 12.5 kW, the 08/16 is connected three-phase, whereas the smaller 01/16 size with 3.5 kW is single-phase. The empty, closed furnace heats up to Tmax minus 100 K in around 25 minutes.

Heating with SiC heating rods

Silicon carbide heating rods heat the furnace, a switch cabinet with solid-state relays is matched to the rods in terms of power, and the heating rods are easy to replace. The insulation consists of high-quality fibre material without classification under Regulation (EG) Nr. 1272/2008, aluminium silicate wool (RCF fibres) is not contained in it.

Flap door or lift door

For the 08/16, there is a choice at no extra cost between a flap door (usable as a shelf, model designation LHTC) and a lift door (model designation LHTCT, hot side faces away from the operator when opening). For the smaller 01/16 size, on the other hand, only the lift door version is available. An adjustable air inlet opening and an exhaust opening in the ceiling provide air exchange in the furnace chamber.

Control with the C550 controller

Up to 10 programs with 20 segments each can be stored in the C550 touch controller for temperature ramps and holding times. The C550 with touch operation and 10 programs of 20 segments each is the standard controller for all three sizes in the LHTC/LHTCT series, including the lift door version LHTCT 08/16.

Selection guide

If 1.5 litres of usable space and a lift-door-only version are sufficient, the LHTCT 01/16 with Tmax 1,550 °C is the more compact alternative in the series. For a medium size with 3 litres and also a selectable door, there is the LHTC 03/16 size, which is currently not carried in the LT shop and is available on request.

Typical applications

The LHTC 08/16 is designed for high-temperature processes in the laboratory up to Tmax 1,600 °C, the working temperature is 1,500 °C, above that wear increases. With 8 litres, it offers the largest usable space in the series, the two smaller sizes have 1.5 and 3 litres. As factory options, a protective gas connection for purging with non-flammable process gases and a manual or automatic gas supply system can be ordered, the furnace is not gas-tight in this case.
