Thermodynamic Kiln - Precision in Sintering Process Optimisation
The sintering process is critical for achieving the desired material properties in a wide range of products. However, it is often influenced by several variables such as furnace condition, heat source, heat flow, and the position of products within the kiln. Traditional methods may fall short in optimising these factors, leading to inconsistent results.
At Lucideon, we offer a unique solution through our Thermodynamic Kiln, which, when combined with advanced thermodynamic modelling, provides a new level of control and precision in sintering processes.
How we help
Dual-fuel flexibility
Our Thermodynamic Kiln is a hybrid system that can operate using both gas and electric power, either independently or in combination. This flexibility ensures optimal firing conditions tailored to the specific needs of each product, leading to improved process efficiency and product consistency.
Advanced monitoring and control
The kiln is equipped with 12 thermocouples, 5 viewing ports with infrared and ultraviolet cameras, and an emissions monitoring system. This allows for real-time monitoring and control of the sintering process, ensuring that all critical parameters are managed to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Mass measurement throughout the cycle
With an integrated load cell at the base, the Thermodynamic Kiln continuously measures the mass of the kiln load throughout the firing cycle. This data provides valuable insights into material changes, enabling precise adjustments to the process as needed.
Thermodynamic modelling for optimisation
Before any firing begins, we perform detailed thermodynamic modelling to predict how your products will behave under specific conditions. This modelling helps us optimise temperature distribution, heat flow, and fuel selection, creating a tailored firing schedule that ensures the highest quality outcomes for your products.
