Summary
[edit]| Description |
Automatic Oil Muffle Furnace. A muffle furnace, employed for annealing, hardening, and tempering; the heat being obtained by means of petroleum, which is contained in the tank A, and is kept under pressure by pumping at intervals with the wooden handle, so that when the valve B is opened the oil is vaporized by passing through a heating coil at the furnace entrance, and when ignited burns fiercely as a gas flame. This passes into the furnace through the two holes, C, C, and plays under and up around the muffle D, standing on a fireclay slab. The doorway is closed by two fireclay blocks at E. A temperature of over 2000°F can be obtained in furnaces of this class, and that heat is of course under perfect control. |
