Vacuum oven

Description

 

Underpressure accelerates drying



in the vacuum drying oven

During the heat treatment, an underpressure in the range between 10 and 50 hPa is usually generated, which lowers the boiling point of fluids to close to room temperature. Heat-sensitive material can therefore be dried in the vacuum drying oven at low temperatures, and at the same time the drying time is considerably reduced. To avoid oxidation, an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) can be fed into the chamber

The oven is standard connected to a KNF Verder membrane pump. This was the max vacuum can be achieved is 1 mBar

This Shared Research Facilities equipment database offers researchers from universities, research institutes and companies, including start-ups, the opportunity to find research equipment with their relevant expert and to use it, generally on a pay-per-use basis. The equipment is available at different locations at Wageningen Campus or other (company) locations. If you want to share your own research devices or if you need more information, please contact us.
