THEORY OF OPERATIONLBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual
20 Version 18
3. Theory of Operation
3.1. The LBB Series Oven
The Despatch LBB Series ovens (Figure 2) effectively distribute heat with a processing time
among the fastest of any lab oven in its class. LBB Series ovens are effectively used in testing,
preheating, sterilizing, drying, aging and curing as well as other production applications. The
LBB Series ovens incorporate forced circulating airflow with precise digital control to deliver fast
processing. The overall result is efficient productivity under strenuous
conditions.
The LBB Series ovens are precise and practical. The unique Despatch
design moves convected heat through stainless steel ducts on each side
of the oven (Figure 3). The air is circulated with a high volume fan.
The LBB Series ovens employ higher volume fans than any
competitive model. The chamber can be densely loaded without
interfering with the process. For your convenience the fresh air intake
is fixed. The exhaust rate is regulated by a damper on the back of the

unit.
Heater Recirculation Fan
Exhaust
Figure 3. Uniflow Airflow through the
LBB Oven.
LBB Series Oven Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION
Version 18 21
Warning!
Do not remove the hat bracket as it distributes exhaust air and
protects the exhaust opening from being completely covered.
3.1.1. Oven Theory
The LBB Series forced circulating oven uses fans to circulate air through the chamber. A
circulating oven is a much more efficient and uniform oven than a gravity-convection oven due to
the constant air movement. Soaking at a desired setpoint still depends on a number of parameters
including chamber area, load mass, the ability to absorb heat and the exhaust rate. But soak times
with a forced circulating oven may be shortened.
The LBB Series oven is capable of heating to 204°C (400°F). The oven uses a
microprocessor-based digital control to display the actual chamber temperature at the sensing
point. The temperature sensor is located to optimize control action for the entire chamber for
various load conditions. The control display may fluctuate a few degrees around the setpoint,
reflecting temperature changes at the sensor location. However, overall chamber temperature
remains stable. The strategic location of the sensor compensates for delays in heat convection and
enhances the performance and temperature control of the oven. The oven has been designed for
an overall result of quality productivity where fast processing and versatility are critical.
3.2. Control Systems
3.2.1. Primary Control Instrument
The LBB Series oven is equipped with a
microprocessor-based digital control instrument
configured as a proportional controller and set to
its optimum operating values (Figure 4). Initially
the control instrument allows the heater to
operate at full power. As the actual oven
temperature reaches the setpoint, the control
instrument cycles the heater on and off,
minimizing process temperature fluctuations.
Table 2 provides explanation for working with
the control instrument.

3.2.2. High Limit Instrument
The LBB Series oven is equipped with a High
Limit instrument (Figure 5). The High Limit
instrument protects the oven or product by
discontinuing the heating process when the High
Limit is exceeded.
Set the High Limit instrument to a temperature
10°C - 14°C higher than the control instrument
setpoint, or to a temperature that should not be
exceeded in the process. If the setting on the High
Limit instrument is exceeded, the heater shuts

3.2.2.1. Product High Limit Instrument
If the product being processed has a critical high temperature limit, use the High Limit instrument
as a product High Limit instrument. Set the High Limit instrument to a temperature somewhat
below the temperature at which the product could be damaged.
3.2.2.2. Oven High Limit Instrument
If the product being processed does not have a critical high temperature limit, use the High Limit
as an oven High Limit instrument to protect the oven equipment. Set the High Limit to 204°C.
3.3. The Protocol 3 Controller (Optional)
The Protocol 3™ controller is a microprocessor based digital temperature controller designed for
simple and flexible oven operation (Figure 6). The Protocol 3 controller operates as a dualfunctioning controller/High Limit instrument. The control portion utilizes a time proportioning
voltage signal to control heating devices with minimal temperature fluctuations.
The High Limit portion protects the product and/or the oven from overheating. If the product
being processed has a critical high temperature limit, the High Limit setpoint should be set to a
temperature somewhat below the temperature at which the product could be damaged. If the
product does not have a critical high temperature limit, the High Limit setpoint should be set 5 to
15 degrees higher than the maximum programmed setpoint at which the oven will operate.
The Protocol 3 controller provides
three primary operating modes:
• Manual: Oven operates
continuously at a fixed
temperature until turned off.
• Timer: Oven operates at a fixed
temperature for a user-selected
time period, and then
automatically turns off.
• Profile: Temperatures increase
or decrease as defined by 255
segments that can be allocated
to 64 ramp and soak profiles.
The profiles can be linked to provide additional temperature combinations.
Review the Protocol 3 Controller Owner’s Manual for more information.
