White Deer, PA, USA – March 30, 2009 - A global player in energy production has partnered with Thermal Product Solutions to provide their oil and gas drill sites with top-loading industrial ovens. The ovens are designed and manufactured under the Gruenberg brand. The custom top-loading ovens simulate the down-hole thermal conditions in oil and gas drilling operations. The ovens can be used to calibrate electronic logging instruments and for drilling equipment burn-in. The ovens feature heavy duty dollies and can be used right at the drill site.
Ovens temperatures reach a maximum of 1000°F and accommodate various capacities ranging from 4.6 to 27 cubic feet. The ovens load from the top to allow heavy equipment to be loaded into the test chamber by crane.
Easy-Open and Easy Close Top Doors
Gruenberg’s top-loading ovens are designed with counterweighted top doors. This makes loading and unloading easier and faster.
Optional Marinite Construction for Non-metallic and Non-magnetic Applications
Marinite insulation provides an electrically non-conductive, non-magnetic construction. The marinite also contributes to the uniform temperature control inside the oven by minimizing heat transfer to the oven walls.
Energy Efficient Construction
HIL construction ensures minimal heat transfer from the oven chamber to the exterior. Gruenberg top-loading ovens use an energy efficient, Incoloy® sheathed, seamless tubular heater.
The heating elements suspend inside the plenum that is adjacent to the process chamber to eliminate radiant influence on the work in progress.
Safety Features
The heaters de-energize if either the primary controller or the recirculation systems fails. Independent heat control systems provide a safe, redundant power switching.
The ovens are externally wired and all connections are outside the oven chamber. No porcelain or electric leads are used in the chamber.
