SURFACE COMBUSTION RX ENDOTHERMIC GAS GENERATOR, 6000 CFH, DUAL RETORT, 1.69M BTU/H, 575V

THE SURFACE COMBUSTION RX ENDOTHERMIC GAS GENERATOR IS AN INDUSTRIAL ATMOSPHERE GENERATOR DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A CONSISTENT REDUCING GAS FOR METALLURGICAL HEAT TREATMENTS. THIS SPECIFIC UNIT FEATURES A CAPACITY OF 6,000 CFH (170 M3/HR), UTILIZING A DUAL-RETORT CONFIGURATION. THE SYSTEM OPERATES BY CRACKING A MIXTURE OF AIR AND NATURAL GAS OVER A NICKEL-BASED CATALYST WITHIN HEAVY-WALL, HEAT-RESISTANT CAST ALLOY REACTION TUBES AT TEMPERATURES APPROXIMATELY 1010°C (1850°F). THE RESULTING RX GAS COMPOSITION IS NOMINALLY 40% HYDROGEN, 40% NITROGEN, AND 20% CARBON MONOXIDE, WITH TRACE AMOUNTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHANE. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS UNIT INCLUDE A POWER REQUIREMENT OF 7.75 KVA AT 575 VAC, 3-PHASE, 60 HZ, WITH A FULL LOAD AMPERAGE OF 9.8 A. THE HEATING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF EIGHT MAIN BURNERS AND ONE PILOT BURNER, WITH A TOTAL MAXIMUM FUEL CONSUMPTION OF 1,689,200 BTU/H. THE REACTION PROCESS REQUIRES 1,282,350 BTU/H AT 0.25 PSI, WHILE THE FUEL GAS ACCOUNTS FOR 406,850 BTU/H AT 0.25 PSI. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES A POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT MIXTURE PUMP, AIR OR WATER PRODUCT GAS COOLERS TO FREEZE REACTIONS, AND ADVANCED CONTROLS FOR REAL-TIME DEW POINT AND CARBON POTENTIAL MONITORING. THIS GENERATOR IS OPTIMIZED FOR PROCESSES SUCH AS GAS CARBURIZING, CARBONITRIDING, NEUTRAL HARDENING, AND BRIGHT ANNEALING, OFFERING A 6:1 TURNDOWN CAPABILITY TO MAINTAIN GAS CHEMISTRY DURING VARYING PRODUCTION DEMANDS.
