- Description
- The internal liner and hearth for vertical loading high temperature vacuum furnace #37 at Tinker AFB, OK 73145, provide a uniform insulation area for heat-treat processing of a complete spectrum for jet engine components. The Hearth and Liner are unique to Vacuum Furnace Systems model VEQ 5654-2, (Part No. DB18653) and the Original Equipment Manufacturer is the only cognizant source with a manufacturing capacity to satisfy agency requirements to presently known true OEM specifications. Tinker AFB has neither the specifications (which are proprietary data) nor direct knowledge to properly reverse engineer hot zone assemblies. Please note: The massive nature of VFS Graform graphite heating elements prove to be too heavy for utilization of the existing hot zone power supply and any form of conversion is not an option. Additionally, a Metal Shielded Hot Zone is disadvantageous to an Insulated Hot Zone in regards to power consumption, life expectancy of the zone, lower replacement/rebuild cost, and under bake out when dirty conditions, ability to increase furnace temperature above 2,400 degrees F. Solicitation of hot zone and hearth assembly for vacuum furnace shall be sole source to Vacuum Furnace Systems, Souderton, PA 18964.
