OTF-1200X-III-HP-VT Three-Zone Vertical Fluidized Bed Furnace for Methane Reforming and Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
The OTF-1200X-III-HP-VT is engineered to support advanced catalytic research involving methane reforming and Fischer-Tropsch reactions, processes critical for hydrogen and synthetic hydrocarbon production. This vertical fluidized bed furnace accommodates catalyst testing under controlled high-temperature conditions with precise thermal management across three separate heating zones.
Its design includes two processing tubes of 60 mm diameter, allowing simultaneous or comparative testing. The furnace achieves a maximum temperature of 1200°C for short durations and supports continuous operation at 1100°C, ensuring robust performance for demanding reaction environments.
주요 기능
- Three independent heating zones each 300 mm in length, totaling 900 mm, with separate temperature controls.
- Vertical split door design facilitates easy installation and maintenance of processing tubes.
- Two types of processing tubes included: quartz and nickel-based super alloy, both 1400 mm long with 60 mm outer diameter.
- Pre-installed pressure gauges and transmitters on flanges for real-time pressure monitoring.
- Gas pre-heating furnace with 400 mm heating zone and maximum temperature of 700°C to condition gases before reaction.
- Digital temperature controllers with PID auto-tune, programmable segments, and safety alarms for precise thermal management.
- Safety relief valve and vacuum port integrated for pressure regulation and system evacuation.

구성 및 작동 안내
The system includes quartz and nickel-base super alloy processing tubes with flanges, pressure gauges, and air distribution plates. A vacuum pump is not included but can be ordered separately. For safe operation, gas cylinder pressure must be regulated below 3 PSI. Pressure limits must be strictly observed for quartz (<0.02 MPa) and alloy tubes (<2.5 MPa). The furnace features a vertical split door for easy tube installation and maintenance.
