VBF1200XYG Top-Loading Furnace with Three-Sided Heating, 1200°C Max, 300x300x200mm Chamber for SOFC Stack Testing
The VBF1200XYG furnace is engineered to support demanding thermal processing tasks such as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack testing, accommodating specimens up to 300mm wide and 200mm tall. Its top-loading design facilitates easy sample placement and retrieval, while the three-sided heating configuration—heating elements positioned on the top, front, and rear walls—ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber.
This furnace operates continuously up to 1100°C, with a maximum short-term temperature of 1200°C for durations under 30 minutes. The heating chamber measures 300mm by 300mm by 200mm (L x W x H), subdivided into a top heating zone of 300mm x 300mm x 50mm and a lower zone of 300mm x 300mm x 150mm. The unit’s insulation uses high-purity alumina fiber to minimize heat loss and improve thermal efficiency, while alumina coatings on chamber surfaces extend durability and heating performance.

Hinweise zur Konfiguration und zum Betrieb
The furnace includes two insulated side panels without heating elements, which users can drill to customize for experimental setups. The digital temperature controller supports programmable heating, cooling, and dwelling steps with built-in alarms for safety. Users should avoid opening the chamber when temperatures exceed 500°C and keep the device away from flammable or toxic gases. Minor insulation cracks may develop over time but do not affect performance and can be repaired.
