III. Hephaestus V094/V213 Vacuum Ovens –Introduction
The Hephaestus V vacuum ovens are designed to efficiently process raw materials in a
temperature controlled vacuum environment. This process has the following advantages:
•The partial vacuum decreases the boiling point of water and thereby decreases the process
temperature and increases the rate of moisture evaporation.
•The reduced processing temperature minimizes the oxidation rate of the product ensuring
less oxidative damage.
The Hephaestus V Vacuum Oven is constructed from 304 stainless steel and the exterior
surface of the oven is polymer coated. The inner chamber uses either a galvanized or a
stainless-steel armour plate. Fiberglass insulation is used to thermally insulate the chamber.
The cabinet door has a viewing window that allows visual inspection of the process. The window
is constructed using a double-layered fortified glass design. The door uses a heavy-duty column
door pin.
Temperature is monitored and controlled using a Pt100 sensor and a temperature controller.
The temperature controller allows the output power with to be controlled using a PID. It also
monitors the process temperature and corrects temperature fluctuations and monitors
processing time(s).

7.3 Priming the Vacuum Pump
•Priming of the vacuum pump requires that the connecting tube provided is securely
(airtight sealed) placed between the vacuum pump and the vacuum oven.
•The oven door should be securely shut and the door handle secured in a closed position
(this will prevent air from entering the chamber by causing the hole in the rubber plug
and the hole in the pipe core to be 180 ° out of phase).
•Power to the vacuum pump should be turned on and then the vacuum valve should be
closed by turning the handle clockwise 90°during processing.
•To stop the process, reduce the vacuum in the chamber -0.1Mpa before turning off the
vacuum pump. This will ensure that no engine oil from the vacuum pump will be drawn
into the chamber.
7.4 Priming the Vacuum Oven
•Turn on power to the vacuum oven (a power-on indicator light will confirm this) and after
a 5 second self-test is completed, the temperature controller will automatically enter the
“run” mode. This will allow the PV screen to display the process temperature and the SV
screen display the set temperature.
•Once the process begins the AT indicator light will turn on and if process temperature is
less than the set temperature heating lamps will turn on.
7.5 Setting of Temperature
•When the instrument is switched on, press the button one time, and the “set
temperature value”will start to blink. Set the desired temperature value (in Celsius
degrees) by pressing keys.
•Use the button to move between the digits.
•Confirm the set value by pressing the button.
Note:
Pressing the ‘ or ’ key once changes the value by 0.1.
Press and hold the keys changes the value rapidly.
7.6 Start / Stop Operation
•After setting the operating parameters, press button for 4-5 seconds to start the
heating process. When the word “STOP” appears on the upper right corner of the
screen, the system is in the stopped state. When the message “RUN” appear in the

User Manual
Version 1.0 18
upper right comer, the system is in the running state and the screen will display values
like timer, temperature measured inside the chamber.
•At any time, you can always manually stop running by pressing the button for 4-5
seconds.
7.7 Setting the Deviation Alarm and Timer
•On the controller panel, press and hold the key for 4-5 seconds.
•Press key to confirm, press or key to move, press key to return.
•TIMER WAIT: ON/OFF of waiting temperature. When ‘ON’ the waiting temperature is
available. When ‘OFF’ no waiting temperature is available.
•ALM Temp: Setting of temperature deviation alarm: when the measured temperature >
set temperature +ALM TEMP, an audible alarm will sound.
•RH Temp: Setting of the upper limit for Temperature Control.
•Timer: When the time is set as 0, timing function is not available.
When other than 0 is applied the controller is in ‘Timer’ function.
