  • Material Description and Applications

    SOFC production and SOEC production rely on kiln furniture systems, as they can position and move ceramic components as they undergo firing processes. Ceramic substrates act as a foundation for essential components, like electrodes, as well as the electrolyte. The substrates ensure the longevity and efficiency of the SOECs and SOFCS. They make sure the SOECs and SOFCs have specific attributes, including thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and mechanical strength. 


    Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems for SOFC and SOE applications include 4 mm thick slabs and stacking supports for assemblies. They allow for increased firing capacity and automated industrial operations. Used in both batch and tunnel kiln firing up to 1,500°C, this kiln furniture solution offers an improved lifetime and reduces product replacements.

    Through our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems, we can provide a tangible solution to the challenge of firing energy versus CO2 emissions–which is linked to kiln furniture weight. Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems enable customers to use SiC plates for SOFC and SOE substrate firing, and to upgrade their product quality e.g. optimized substrate flatness while processing in a more sustainable and “greener” environment. 


    Our products and systems can be designed based on our customers' needs. We clearly target improving the product-to-kiln furniture ratio, allowing optimal product loading and overall firing efficiency with superior product quality.
     

    Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems are extremely useful for SOFC and SOEC production, helping to lower the amount of firing time required and improving energy efficiency. Imbued with a lightweight design, Lo-Mass Ultra® kiln furniture systems can reduce heat storage. They do not need as much energy to heat up a kiln, and can still deliver a uniform temperature, therefore these furniture systems have the capability to deliver quality ceramic components with specific attributes. 

    • Enhanced stacking density
    • Lower energy consumption
    • Decreased CO2 emissions
    • Improved productivity (>33%)
    • Increased lifespan of ceramics (>25%)
    • Weight mass reduction
    • Quicker heating and cooling cycles
    • Better product-to-kiln furniture ratio to achieve efficient firing

  • FAQ

    What are SOECs and SOFCs?

    Solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are both versions of solid oxide electrochemical cells which function at increased temperatures. These cells can be used to produce clean energy systems. SOECs utilize electricity to generate fuel from water, while SOFCs are able to produce electrical energy through transforming chemical energy from fuel.
    How do silicon carbide kiln furniture systems enhance productivity?

    Our own kiln furniture systems incorporate silicon carbide because it can help enhance the productivity of ceramic manufacturing procedures. They can resist high temperatures and offer better thermal efficiency. Moreover, silicon carbide has good durability, therefore its service life will likely be increased as a result.
    Are there any environmental benefits to using Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems?

    Sustainability lies at the heart of our products. Our Lo-Mass® Ultra kiln furniture systems produce less CO2 emissions and consume less energy during use. At the same time, these systems are also able to be extremely productive and form products that will meet all your expectations.
