How Does Forced Air Improve Thermal Ageing Performance?
Consistent Air Distribution
The forced-air circulation system continuously moves heated air through the chamber, improving heat transfer and helping reduce temperature gradients. This provides more consistent thermal exposure for specimens during ageing and degradation tests.
Stable Temperature Control
A programmable controller maintains the selected test temperature during extended operation. The oven can achieve ±0.5°C temperature fluctuation and ±2.0°C temperature deviation, supporting repeatable thermal exposure.
Flexible Temperature Configurations
Different materials require different ageing conditions. LIB industry offers standard configurations from Ambient to +250°C, with options for +400°C, +900°C, and up to +1200°C for specialized high-temperature applications. Chamber volume, insulation, heating capacity, and airflow can be configured according to the selected temperature range.
Applications Across Materials and Components
The thermal ageing oven can be used wherever elevated-temperature exposure is required to understand material performance over time.
