Nabertherm Vertical Tube Furnace RHTV 120/600/17/P570, 600 mm Heated Length, Tmax 1,700 °C, Vertical Operation, RV322V72AN

Product information "Nabertherm Vertical Tube Furnace RHTV 120/600/17/P570, 600 mm Heated Length, Tmax 1,700 °C, Vertical Operation, RV322V72AN"

With 120 mm tube outer diameter and 600 mm heated length, the Nabertherm vertical tube furnace RHTV 120/600/17 is the largest size in the RHTV series and, like the smaller models, works with suspended MoSi2 heating elements in the 1,700 °C temperature class. It is controlled via the P570 touch controller in a standing cabinet separate from the furnace.

Construction and tube dimensions

The tube length is 830 mm, with single-zone heating the length with constant temperature is 170 mm. The furnace weighs 110 kg and measures 680 x 700 x 1,580 mm (W x D x H) without the tube. At 19.4 kW, the connected load is a good three times higher than the smallest 50/150 size, the connection is three-phase. Two fibre plugs close the open ends of the ceramic working tube C 799, which allows operation in air.

Heating and insulation

Like the other RHTV sizes, the furnace works with suspended MoSi2 heating elements that are easy to replace. The insulation consists of vacuum-formed ceramic fibre panels, aluminium silicate wool (RCF fibres) is not used. As standard, a ceramic working tube C 799 with two fibre plugs is fitted, measurement is via a type B thermocouple. For three-zone heating with an additional neutral conductor, Nabertherm only offers the horizontal RHTH variant of this series, the RHTV 120/600/17 works single-zone.

Vertical operation and switch cabinet

A stand holds the working tube, there is no classic furnace door with this design. The switch cabinet with the P570 controller sits in a standing cabinet separate from the furnace. Standard equipment includes a power unit with low-voltage transformer and thyristor. An adjustable temperature limiter with adjustable cut-off temperature is part of the standard equipment and serves as over-temperature protection for furnace and charge.

Controller P570

50 programs with 40 segments each are available in the P570 touch controller for temperature ramps and holding times. If the temperature is to be measured directly at the charge instead of in the furnace chamber, a charge control with temperature measurement in the working tube can be added as a factory option, alternative working tubes are also available.

Selection guide

If 50 mm tube diameter and 150 mm heated length are sufficient, the RHTV 50/150/17 at 70 kg and 5.8 kW connected load is the lighter size. At 19.4 kW, the RHTV 120/600/17 requires a correspondingly rated three-phase supply, but in return offers a 70 mm larger tube diameter and four times the heated length. Gas supply package 2 for non-flammable process gases, gas supply package 4 for hydrogen applications, and a vacuum package for evacuating the working tube can be ordered as factory options for both RHTV sizes.

Typical applications

The RHTV 120/600/17 is a vertical high-temperature tube furnace up to 1,700 °C for working tubes up to 120 mm outer diameter. With the standard ceramic working tube C 799 and two fibre plugs, it operates in air, for non-flammable process gases, hydrogen applications or vacuum, gas supply packages 2 and 4 and a vacuum package are available as factory options.
