There are two basic structures with a&nbsp;circular cross section, one operating horizontally and\/or vertically, and the second, a&nbsp;rectangular configuration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next, we&nbsp;have insulation. Here we&nbsp;are entering a&nbsp;minefield, as&nbsp;there is no&nbsp;single correct solution. Depending on&nbsp;the shape of the chamber, the maximum operating temperature, the required temperature distribution, and the expected oxygen purity, different solutions are possible, made with the use of soft and\/or hard graphite insulation, including graphite foil, or&nbsp;solutions based on&nbsp;screens of stainless and molybdenum sheet. There are also mixed combinations, combining metal and ceramic insulation. The insulation acts as&nbsp;a&nbsp;thermal barrier not only affecting the loss of heat through the housing, and thus the economics of the process, but also the temperature distribution. The selected material and assembly method will also play a&nbsp;significant role in&nbsp;the rate of evacuation of the entire furnace, in&nbsp;other words degassing, and at&nbsp;least partially the maximum vacuum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;ed-square-list-parent&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Selecting heating elements entails just as&nbsp;many possibilities. We&nbsp;may choose from among tubular, flat, straight or&nbsp;bent graphite elements, and molybdenum heating elements. Associated in&nbsp;a&nbsp;three-phase wye or&nbsp;delta power system, and sometimes in&nbsp;single-phase systems, combined in&nbsp;a&nbsp;whole, they must have an appropriate resistance that is also homogeneous over the entire length of such a&nbsp;set. Incorrect execution can lead to&nbsp;non-homogeneous heat radiation, which can in&nbsp;turn make it impossible to&nbsp;achieve correct temperature distribution. It is also important to&nbsp;remember that the resistance of the entire system changes as&nbsp;a&nbsp;function of temperature. The system must therefore correspond to&nbsp;the originally designed parameters of the power transformer supplying heating elements with energy. Joints are exposed to&nbsp;vibrations and loosening, which increases resistance locally and can result in&nbsp;excessive overheating and damage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.secowarwick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/OVERHAUL-AND-UPGRADE-OF-FURNACE-HEATING-CHAMBER-3-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;OVERHAUL AND UPGRADE OF FURNACE HEATING CHAMBER&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on&nbsp;the furnace manufacturer, the shape of the hatches and the way they work can vary; many solutions are patented.

In\u00a02020 alone, we\u00a0carried out more than 20 such services, bringing back to\u00a0life furnaces, not only of our own production, but also of seven other world-class manufacturers. Significantly, our customers are so satisfied with these services that they are already asking about further overhauls and modernisations. This is partly due to\u00a0the fact that SECO\/WARWICK has always set the bar high for itself.
