We are planning to procure a tubular furnace for our lab. Our main activities will be ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and chemical vapour deposition. What furnace would be suitable for the above mentioned activities?
since you are procuring for research purpose you should go vertical furnace as these have major advantages over horizontal ones. Few things that vertical furnace have and horizontal do not have
a)High temperature using LGO is about 1200 degree
b)uniform temperature
c)can be used for certain atmospheric condition such as for inert condition as air tight chamber is available
d)cross contamination is not there and good particle data you can get
but both cost almost same so chose as per your requirements
In addition, as I know, the vertical furnace is more expensive than horizontal one. The second is vertical can be use with H2 gas. You should consider those.
