Solvent Venting & Drying Oven

Gruenberg Solvent Venting Class A Oven

Product details

All standard Gruenberg ovens can be designed to house volatile atmospheres. Thermal Product Solutions designs all solvent venting and drying ovens to conform to OSHA, NFPA 86A, Factory Mutual (FM) and Factory Insurance Association (FIA) requirements. As part of the safety design, solvent venting ovens must be equipped with a high exhaust rate: because the heating elements are an ignition source, a high exhaust rate is needed to dilute the volatile vapors below the “lower explosive limits.” As a result, the heating elements’ kW must be sufficiently increased to compensate for the heat loss caused by the above-normal exhaust rate. In addition, for a solvent venting oven to be energy efficient, the additional kW required must be carefully calculated according to solvent load and operating temperature requirements.
