Controlled
atmosphere brazing (CAB) of aluminum heat exchangers using a
non-corrosive flux (NOCOLOK®*
flux), is the preferred process for manufacturing aluminum heat
exchangers for various industries including automotive, residential air
conditioning and power generation. Since entering this field in 1983,
SECO/WARWICK has led in the development of advanced technology in the
continuous and semi-continuous flow brazing process. In 2002,
SECO/WARWICK purchased the intellectual property for CAB Brazing
equipment from Camlaw Ltd., and today is the exclusive supplier of
Camlaw Equipment and Aftermarket Services.
Capitalizing
on over 100 years of furnace design experience, SECO/WARWICK has
numerous furnace design and development breakthroughs and innovations
such as:
- Unique muffle designs for both radiation and convection applications
- Patented Convection heating technology
- Continuous atmosphere control systems
- ACCUBRAZE® PC/PLC control systems
- Heating control systems utilizing bayonet heating elements and/or gas
fired burners
- FMEA Studies
- Energy saving designs
These innovations have led to the design of four separate
types of brazing furnace systems to meet the growing demand for aluminum
brazed products. Each of these systems provides unique benefits based
upon the size and scope of a manufacturer's individual needs. Custom
engineered solutions range from small batch type units to
semi-continuous systems to large scale convection based furnace systems
designed to deliver efficient, flexible throughput on a continuous
basis.
