1981 SURFACE COMBUSTION RX T3-RX ENDOTHERMIC GAS GENERATOR, 6.5 KVA, 575V, 3-PHASE

THE SURFACE COMBUSTION RX T3-RX IS A MODULAR ENDOTHERMIC GAS GENERATOR DESIGNED FOR THE ONSITE PRODUCTION OF PROTECTIVE ATMOSPHERES USED IN METALLURGICAL HEAT TREATMENTS. THIS SPECIFIC 1981 UNIT FEATURES A THREE-RETORT CONFIGURATION, UTILIZING HEAVY-WALL, HEAT-RESISTANT CAST ALLOY TUBES FILLED WITH A NICKEL-BASED CATALYST. THE SYSTEM OPERATES BY PASSING A PRECISE MIXTURE OF AIR AND NATURAL GAS THROUGH THE HEATED CATALYST BED AT TEMPERATURES TYPICALLY REACHING 1950°F TO PRODUCE AN ATMOSPHERE NOMINALLY COMPOSED OF 40% HYDROGEN, 40% NITROGEN, AND 20% CARBON MONOXIDE. THE MODULAR DESIGN ALLOWS FOR A 6:1 TURNDOWN RATIO, MAINTAINING CONSISTENT GAS COMPOSITION AND DEW POINT LEVELS EVEN AT REDUCED CAPACITIES. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS MODEL INCLUDE A 6.5 KVA POWER RATING, OPERATING AT 575 VOLTS, 3-PHASE, AND 60 HZ WITH A 7 AMP DRAW. THE GENERATOR EMPLOYS A POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MIXTURE PUMP AND A REACTION GAS MIXING SYSTEM TO CONTROL AIR-TO-GAS RATIOS. PRODUCT GAS REACTIONS ARE STABILIZED USING HIGH-PERFORMANCE AIR OR WATER COOLERS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF EACH REACTION TUBE TO PREVENT CARBON PRECIPITATION. THIS EQUIPMENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH VARIOUS FURNACE TYPES, INCLUDING INTEGRAL QUENCH, BELT, AND PUSHER TRAY SYSTEMS, SUPPORTING PROCESSES SUCH AS CARBURIZING, CARBONITRIDING, NEUTRAL HARDENING, AND ANNEALING.
