System Structure |
-
Aerosol Generation: 2.4MHz Ultrasonic Enhanced Bubbler can "evaporate" catalyst liquid with literally no heat generated. A stainless steel liquid collector connects inline with the ultrasonic bubble can prevent condensing liquid from streaming into the furnace tube chamber.
-
Thermal Decomposition: Tube Furnace can be heated up to 1800C maximum. Bypassing the droplets flux across the temperature and atmosphere regulated firing zone, chemical, and physical conversion processes proceed.
-
Nanopowder Collection: 50KV, 2'' O.D tubular designed electrostatic precipitator (1.2L)can effectively collect nano-size particles from the carrier gas flow

Processing Tube |
-
Premier grade high purity Al2O3 ceramic tube is included for operation @ 1500C~1800C. (I.D: 44mm x OD: 50 mm x 1200 mm length). Attention: carrier gas flow rate should be strictly controlled @ 100SCCM or less.
-
Mullite tube (I.D: 44mm x OD: 50 mm x 1398 mm length) is included for continuous operation up to 1500C. Benefits from its high thermal shock resistivity, it can endure a max. carrier gas flows rate @ 200SCCM.

Sealing Flanges
& Fittings |
-
Left sealing flange with 1/4'' feedthrough, needle valve and mechanical pressure gauge. A 1/4'' O.D x 17'' L alumina tube is inserted into the main chamber. It can deliver the aerosol to the hot zone directly.
-
Right KF50 quick disconnect flange provides direct coupling for the electrostatic precipitator.

|
-
110VAC, 2.4 MHz Ultrasonic Generator
-
Fluoropolymer coated liquid container and Fluoropolymer sealing gaskets
-
external Fluoropolymer optical sensor and valve for keeping the liquid level to the correct height and preventing damage to the nebulizing element.
-

-
304 Stainless Steel T-piece (1.5'' sanitary fitting) with 1/4'' tube fitting adapters enables the use of carrier gas.
|
Mass Flow Controller
|
-
An MFC is employed to control the carrier gas flow rate. It is very important that the gas flow must be controlled <100SCCM in order to minimize the thermal shock impact on the furnace tube.

Application Notes
|
-
Never use graphite crucible in the alumina tube.
-
A two-stage pressure regulator must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure to below 3 PSI for safe operation.
-
Never heat the furnace while the gas release valve is closed and a positive pressure condition exists within the furnace chamber. The pressure gauge must be used to closely monitor the chamber condition at all times during the heat
-
The flow rate for gases should be limited to < 100 SCCM (alumina tube); <200SCCM (mullite tube)
