Isothermal Furnace Liner
An Isothermal Furnace Liner is a unique heat pipe that distributes heat within a furnace to wherever it is required to provide a stable, uniform temperature zone for a variety of applications mentioned above. When a single uniform temperature zone is required, the IFL can provide this zone with a single heater and controller. Temperature adjustment is a simple one step process and frequent profile measurements are not necessary.
In most applications, temperature uniformity is within 0.1°C over the liner length. Energy can be saved and productivity increased because usable reaction zone length in a given furnace becomes larger than the active heater length. Two or more liners may be used in series to create multiple, individually controlled zones for special effects such as step changes in temperature profile.
