Microwave Furnace - Hybrid Model

VBCC's MICROWAVE HYBRID HEATING SYSTEM 1700 °C

DESCRIPTION
The VBCC Microwave Hybrid heating system sounds like a versatile solution for laboratories, particularly in research and Nano technology applications. By combining conventional resistance heating with microwave heating, it offers the ability to heat materials both from the outside and volumetrically, providing flexibility in heating methods.

The integration of Molybdenum Disilicide heating elements for resistance heating and a Magnetron as a Microwave generator for microwave heating allows for precise control over the heating process. The use of a Eurotherm Two loop temperature controller enables independent control of both heating methods, allowing users to tailor the heating conditions according to their specific requirements.

This level of control is crucial in research and quality control environments, where precise and reproducible heating conditions are often necessary for accurate experimentation and analysis. The ability to independently control resistance heating and microwave heating ensures that users can optimize heating parameters to achieve the desired results efficiently. Overall, the VBCC Microwave Hybrid heating system seems like an advanced and adaptable solution for laboratories seeking versatile heating capabilities for various materials and applications.

Microwave Heating System
VBCC's Microwave heating systems operating at 1700 °C utilize electromagnetic radiation within the Microwave band, specifically at 2.45 GHz frequency, to induce heating within materials volumetrically. This method leverages the excitation of outer shell molecules in the material, generating heat efficiently throughout the volume. Microwave heating processes offer several advantages, including high efficiency, high energy densities, precise control, rapid heating, and energy savings. One notable challenge in microwave heating systems is achieving uniform heating of materials. Despite their many advantages, achieving uniformity in heating across the entire material volume can be a challenge in microwave systems. However, advancements in technology and careful design considerations can help mitigate this issue to some extent.

Magnetrons serve as a fundamental component in generating microwaves for such systems due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. A magnetron generates microwaves by applying a high voltage (often several kilovolts) between the anode and cathode within a magnetic field. The resulting microwaves emitted from the magnetron's antenna consist of two components: the electrical component, known as TE (Transverse Electric), and the magnetic component, known as TM (Transverse Magnetic). These two components are perpendicular to each other and play crucial roles in the generation and propagation of microwave radiation.

Understanding the principles behind magnetron operation and the characteristics of microwave radiation is essential for optimizing the performance and efficiency of microwave heating systems, particularly in high-temperature applications like those provided by VBCC's systems.

Conventional Heating System
These systems that generate heat by passing an electric current through a conductor (heating element), causing an increase in temperature. Heat energy is transmitted to the work piece through convection and/or radiation. Here the heating elements are MOSi₂

Traditional methods of reducing thermal gradients in radiant heating systems often involve extending the process time to maintain a slower heating rate. However, this approach comes with several disadvantages. Firstly, extending cycle times increases energy consumption and prolongs overall processing time. Secondly, prolonged exposure to heat can lead to unwanted physical and chemical changes in the material, particularly on the exterior surface. For example, sintered materials may develop a coarser, less desirable crystalline structure before achieving the desired densification in the interior.

VBCC's Microwave hybrid heating system offers a promising alternative by allowing for the balancing of radiant and microwave heating effects. By leveraging both heating methods, this system has the potential to heat susceptible materials faster and more uniformly. This not only leads to savings in energy consumption but also enables the production of materials with properties that may not be achievable through traditional means.

The ability to control and balance radiant and microwave heating effects in VBCC's system provides greater flexibility and precision in the heating process. This can result in improved material properties and reduced processing times, ultimately enhancing efficiency and quality in various industrial applications.
