1.5.4. Power

Line voltages may vary in some geographies. If the line voltage for your RAD oven varies more than 10% from the oven voltage rating, electrical components such as relays and temperature controls may operate erratically.  If the line voltage is lower than the oven voltage

rating, heat-up time may be significantly longer and motors may overload or run hot.

 If the line voltage is higher than the nameplate

rating, motors may run hot and draw excessive amperage.

Refer to the Electrical Specifications on your oven for the specifics pertaining to your oven (Figure 2).

An oven designed for 240 volts (see oven nameplate) will operate satisfactorily on a minimum of 208 Volts, but will result in 25% reduced heater output. If your power characteristic is lower, contact Despatch Industries.

50 hertz electrical is available on all models.

Figure 5. RAD Fresh Air Damper.

Figure 6. RAD Exhaust Damper.

Version 1 15

3. Theory of Operation

3.1. The RAD Oven Series

The RAD ovens (Figure 4) feature horizontal recirculating airflow to ensure exceptional temperature uniformity throughout the oven. A high-volume fan circulates air through perforated, stainless steel walls to create a constant horizontal airflow across all sections of the oven. The result is proven reliability in demanding production and laboratory applications, such as curing, drying, sterilizing, aging, and other process-critical applications.

3.2. Damper Control

Fresh air and exhaust dampers (Figure 5 and Figure 6) control the amount of air exchanged as well as the oven chamber pressure. When the fresh air damper is closed and the exhaust damper is open, oven chamber pressure tends toward negative. When the fresh air damper is open and the exhaust damper is closed, the oven chamber pressure tends toward positive (Table 1).

A negative oven pressure may draw ambient air into any opening, causing cool spots to occur. The slightly pressurized chamber produces the effect of pushing air to the corners of the chamber. However, too much positive pressure may force hot air or process vapors out of any openings in the oven into the work area. Ideally, the fresh air and exhaust dampers should be closed as much as possible and the oven should be maintained at a neutral or slightly positive pressure.

Exhaust damper control

Table 1. Damper Positions for Chamber Pressure.

3.2.1. Determining Damper Settings

The optimum setting for the amount of fresh air that should be distributed into the chamber depends on several factors. These factors include ambient environment temperature, load conditions, load distribution, heat-up rates, cool-down rates, desired temperature uniformity and, most importantly, the desired operating temperature. Carefully consider existing engineering tradeoffs while using guidelines to determine the fresh air damper setting.

In general, the damper should be set so that the amount of fresh air flowing into the chamber agrees with the desired operating temperature conditions. The following paragraphs show the considerations involved with various damper position settings.

3.2.1.1. Fresh Air Damper Fully Closed Position

The chamber achieves maximum attainable heat-up rates when the fresh air damper lies in the full closed position. With the damper in the full closed position, the chamber will operate at the desired temperature using the minimum amount of power. In most cases, the oven also efficiently operates at the chamber’s maximum operating temperature when in the full closed position.

3.2.1.2. Fresh Air Damper Fully Open Position

The chamber operates at its minimum operating temperature with the fresh air damper in full open position.

Friction heat from the air recirculation system builds up in the chamber. This causes chamber temperature to rise slightly even without the heating system on. The chamber reaches thermal equilibrium temperature after the recirculation motor runs for an extended period of time.

RAD Oven Series Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION



When the damper is in full open position, the oven may not be able to heat to the maximum oven operating temperature.



This section applies only to ovens that include the optional adjustable louvers. Ovens without the louver option do not have adjustable airflow.

Optional adjustable

Version 1 17

The chamber cannot readily dissipate heat generated by friction without a fully open fresh air damper. With the fresh air damper fully open, the thermal equilibrium temperature is the minimum operating temperature of the chamber.

3.2.1.3. Exhaust Damper Control

Adjusting the exhaust damper (Figure 6) aids in pressurizing the chamber.

3.3. Optional Adjustable Louvers

RAD oven series come standard with perforated supply and exhaust panels (Figure 7). Optional adjustable louvers provide an extra measure of airflow customization. Figure 8 shows the initial factory settings for the optional louvers.

THEORY OF OPERATION RAD Oven Series Owner’s Manual

Warning!

Maintain slight positive pressure to regulate heat. Too much positive pressure in an oven can create a high outer

skin temperature as hot air is forced out through panel joints and around door seal. High outer skin temperature could warp the front of the oven.

Figure 8. Initial factory settings for optional louvers.

3.3.1. Purpose of Adjustable Airflow

Optional adjustable airflow has several purposes in the RAD oven:

1. Ability to get the best temperature and airflow uniformity.

2. Ability to “spot heat” special areas or specific parts of load.

3. Ability to prevent air flowing out or sucking in through the entrance and exit openings in the

oven.

3.3.2. Supply Air Adjustment

The adjustment of supply louvers is directly related to temperature uniformity in the work chamber. A general guideline is that more heat is required next to doors, windows and outside walls so, therefore, more air is required to deliver that heat.

3.3.3. Return Air Adjustment

Ensure there are no restrictive conditions which may limit the amount of air handled by the return ducts. Restrictions in return air ducts may decrease the amount of air handled by the fan and/or may result in pressurized conditions in the work chamber. The initial settings for return louvers should be 50% more open than the supply louvers. Final adjustment may be necessary.

RAD Oven Series Owner’s Manual THEORY OF OPERATION



The purchaser is responsible for setting the High Limit Control per the instructions in this manual.

Danger!

Failure to attend to High Limit Control Warning may result in property damage, serious bodily injury or death.

Notice

It is particularly important that the oven operators have a practical understanding of the automatic controls. These regulate the temperature, provide safety features and generally govern the consistently uniform and satisfactory performance of the oven.

Version 1 19

3.4. The Protocol 3 Controller

The Protocol 3™ is a microprocessor based digital temperature controller designed for simple and flexible oven operation (Figure 9). The Protocol 3 controller operates as a dual-functioning 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.

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.

ASSEMBLY & SETUP RAD Oven Series Owner’s Manual

Notice

Review oven weight to ensure the foundation is adequate to hold the weight.

Warning!

Do not use the oven in wet, corrosive or explosive atmospheres unless this oven is specifically designed for a special atmosphere.



All stacks must comply with state and local building codes to insure that surrounding combustible surfaces are below 71°C (160°F).

Warning!

Do not be careless about restrictions in and around the fresh air and exhaust openings and stacks.

Notice

Flashing through roof or wall must be capable of handling temperatures up to 343°C (650°F).

22 Version 1

4.2.1.1. Placement Requirements

 Place oven directly on the floor.  Plumb and level the oven to assure proper heat distribution and operation of all mechanical

components.

 Do not expose oven to excessive vibration and affix all electrical cabinets.  If placing the oven in an area where excessive particulate matter exists (such as a construction

site or a coal processing center), periodically clean all its electrical compartments. Keep power supply within the specifications provided by Despatch, and use a line conditioner for a facility with an unstable power supply.

4.3. Exhaust Connections

The RAD oven exhaust port is located on the top of the oven (Figure 6). Install an exhaust stack from the discharge opening to the outside of the building. The discharge opening is 17.8 cm (7.0 inches) diameter.

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.

RAD Oven Series Owner’s Manual ASSEMBLY & SETUP



The oven must be hardwired directly to the electric supply.



Verify proper fan rotation on initial start-up and recheck rotation whenever wiring or electrical component changes are made. Each fan has an arrow showing correct rotation.

Danger!

All grounding and safety equipment must be in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances and accepted safe practices.

Version 1 23

4.3.1. Down Drafts

Where down drafts occur in gravity stacks, their cause should be determined and corrections made without delay. They can cause concentrations of exhaust volatiles within the work chamber, poorly baked products, poor burner operation or the spreading of odors into the factory.

Down drafts may result from insufficient gravity stack height, or its failure to extend above nearby buildings, roofs, pent houses, or other obstructions which cause downward wind movements into the stack. Such causes are usually easily remedied. Or they may result from a negative pressure within the factory caused by excessive gravity or forced exhaust ventilation from the factory. The most effective remedy for this condition is the installation of a “make-up” supply air system equal in capacity to the total exhaust from the factory.

4.4. Wiring & Power Connections

See electrical schematics in Section 8.3 for line connections.

6. Maintenance

Do not attempt any service on this oven before setting the main power Disconnect Switch to OFF

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, and the like. Keep the walls, floor and ceiling of the oven work chamber free of dirt, dust, smoke, solvent vapors, or other contaminations.

 Keep all equipment accessible. Allow space for good circulation. Do not permit other

materials to be stored or piled against it.

 Do not place load too close to the supply duct. The supply air temperature is somewhat higher

than average work space temperature and may overheat or otherwise damage product.

 Do not put product on the floor or in isolated corners where air movement and temperature

are not likely to be at average conditions.

 Do not mix thick heavy parts with light parts. The heavy parts require longer to heat and

should be treated separately.

 Check safety controls. This should be done daily and never less than once a week.  Establish maintenance and checkup schedules. Maintain equipment in good repair and make

repairs immediately to avoid costly delays.
