KSL-1500X-VT Vertical Hybrid Furnace with 1500°C Max Temperature and 25 mm Alumina Tube for SOFC Coin Cell Testing
The KSL-1500X-VT is engineered to support precise thermal processing tasks in research and development environments, particularly for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) coin cell testing and controlled atmosphere experiments. Its compact design integrates three furnace types—muffle, vertical tube, and hybrid—enabling versatile sample treatment within a single unit.
This furnace features a cubic heating chamber measuring 120 mm per side, equipped with silicon carbide heating elements capable of reaching temperatures up to 1500°C. Two 1-inch ports at the top and bottom allow insertion of a high-purity alumina tube (25 mm outer diameter, 19 mm inner diameter, 760 mm length) for processing samples under controlled atmospheres or for direct fuel cell testing.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Three-in-one hybrid furnace design: muffle, vertical tube, and SOFC coin cell testing capabilities.
- Maximum operating temperature of 1500°C with uniform temperature zone of 50x50x50 mm ±5%.
- Programmable 30-segment temperature controller with ±1°C accuracy and built-in safety alarms.
- High-purity (99.5%) alumina tube included for controlled atmosphere processing.
- Vacuum sealing flanges with double silicone high-temperature O-rings, needle valves, and vacuum gauge for immediate vacuum operation.
- Heating rate up to 10°C per minute for controlled thermal ramping.
- DB9 communication port for optional PC control and software integration.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This furnace is ideal for researchers conducting solid oxide fuel cell coin cell testing, thermal treatment of materials under controlled atmospheres, and high-temperature sintering processes. Its vertical tube configuration and vacuum sealing options support experiments requiring precise atmosphere control and sample loading.
Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The furnace includes two fibrous ceramic tube blocks to minimize heat radiation from the alumina tube; these must be fully inserted before heating. Vacuum sealing flanges with integrated needle valves and vacuum gauge facilitate immediate vacuum operation, though vacuum pumps are sold separately. An optional coin-type fuel cell testing fixture is available, comprising an alumina tube, quartz tube, flanges with gas inlet/outlet, spring load, platinum wire and mesh, and high-temperature adhesive for ready use. Users may also require a gas delivery system for controlled atmosphere experiments.
