TGA Thermal Analysis Furnace with Condensation Collection System

Introduction

This thermal analysis furnace is developed for analyzing the combustion loss and pyrolysis weight of materials under vacuum or atmosphere conditions using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). It consists of several components including a balance, heating furnace, programmable temperature control system, recording system, etc. It can observe changes in the mass of samples with temperature, time, vacuum level, and atmosphere state during heating, constant temperature, or cooling processes, and is equipped with a condensation collection device for pyrolysis materials.

Features and Benefits

• The furnace heating adopts a circular arrangement to reduce interference.
• Utilizes precision weighing sensors made of precious metal nickel-chromium alloy, featuring high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance.
• Power supply, circulating heat dissipation part, and main unit are separated to reduce the impact of heat and vibration on microbalance sensors.
• Uses an electrically operated lifting structure for convenient installation and operation.
• Utilizes a water bath constant temperature device to isolate the heat impact of the heating furnace on the housing and microbalance.
• Built-in circulating water cooling condensation collection device for more efficient collection of pyrolysis materials.
