Version 13 19
3. Theory of Operation
3.1. The LBB Series Oven
The Despatch LBB Series Ovens (Figure 1) effectively distribute heat with a processing
time among the fastest of any lab oven 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 precision
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 2). 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.
All rights reserved. No part of the contents of this manual may be reproduced, copied or transmitted in any form or by any
means including graphic, electronic, or mechanical methods or photocopying, recording, or information storage and
retrieval systems without the written permission of Despatch Industries, unless for purchaser's personal use.
Do not remove the hat bracket as it distributes exhaust air and
protects the exhaust opening from being completely covered.
20 Version 13
3.1.1. Oven Theory
The LBB Series forced circulating oven uses fan to circulate air through the chamber. A
circulating oven is 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. While 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 3).
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 1 provides explanation for working
with the control instrument.

3.2.3. Hi-Limit Instrument
The LBB Series Oven is equipped with a Hi-Limit instrument (Figure 5). The Hi-Limit
instrument protects the oven or product by discontinuing the heating process when the
Hi-Limit is exceeded.
Set the Hi-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 Hi-Limit instrument is exceeded the heater shuts down. See Table 2 for
explanation about the Hi-Limit instrument.

6.1. Checklist
Keep equipment clean. Gradual dirt accumulation retards airflow. A dirty oven can
result in unsatisfactory operation such as unbalanced temperature in the work
chamber, reduced heating capacity, reduced production, overheated components, and
the like. Keep the walls, floor and ceiling of the oven work chamber free of dirt and
dust. Floating dust or accumulated dirt may produce unsatisfactory work results.
Keep all equipment accessible. Do not permit other materials to be stored or piled
against it.
Protect controls against excessive heat—particularly controls, motors or other
equipment containing electronic components. Temperatures greater than 51.5°C
(125°F) should be avoided.
Establish maintenance and checkup schedules. Do this promptly and follow the
schedules faithfully. Careful operation and maintenance will be more than paid for in
continuous, safe and economical operation.
Maintain equipment in good repair. Make repairs immediately. Delays may be costly
in added expense for labor and materials and in prolonged shut down.
Practice safety. Make it a prime policy to know what you are doing before you do it.
Make caution, patience, and good judgment the safety watchwords for the operation
of your oven.
