If you are experiencing reduced cooling, increased cycle times and/or dirty, contaminated parts then your vacuum furnace's heat exchanger might be the cause. Over the course of time and production, materials will deposit on the fins of the heat exchanger, which can result in a number of issues. In this video, we examine what a heat exchanger is supposed to look like vs. what it looks like after it has collected layers of contaminants. We also discuss how often the heat exchanger, and its cooling coils should be inspected so as to ensure optimum performance and part quality.
