How to save electricity and energy in reflow soldering

Reflow soldering is completely heated by electricity, so the power consumption of reflow soldering is usually relatively large. How to reduce the power consumption of reflow soldering is a factor that reflow soldering manufacturers must consider. Jinos Electronics will explain how to save electricity and energy in reflow soldering from the aspects of insulation performance of reflow soldering equipment, sealing of furnace cavity, air extraction and maintenance.

1、 From reflow soldering thermal insulation performance to achieve power saving and energy saving

Touching the reflow equipment surface (the corresponding position of the reflow area) should not feel hot (the surface temperature should be lower than 60 ℃). If you feel hot, it indicates that the thermal insulation performance of the reflow furnace is poor, and a large amount of electric energy is converted into heat energy and lost, resulting in unnecessary waste of energy. If in summer, the heat energy lost in the workshop will lead to the increase of workshop temperature, we have to discharge these heat energy outdoors with air conditioning devices, which will directly lead to double energy waste. In this regard, international North electronics uses imported rock wool and thickened furnace compartment space to reduce heat loss during reflow welding.

2、 From the sealing of reflow furnace cavity to achieve power saving and energy saving

The warpage of furnace cavity and the leakage of equipment will directly cause the linear rise of power and nitrogen consumption. Therefore, the sealing of reflow equipment is very important to the control of production cost. Practice has proved that a small leak, even a leak hole the size of a screw hole, may increase nitrogen consumption from 15 cubic meters per hour to 40 cubic meters per hour. Zhengbang electronic reflow soldering is completely in accordance with the energy-saving production process, which ensures the good sealing of the reflow soldering furnace.

3、 The installation of air extraction and exhaust from reflow welding can save power and energy

If the equipment does not have a good flux management system and the flux discharge is completed by air extraction, the equipment will not only extract the flux residue, but also discharge heat and nitrogen, which will directly lead to the increase of energy consumption. Zhengbang reflow exhaust system is a management system with flux.

4、 Considering power saving and energy saving from the maintenance cost of reflow soldering equipment

Reflow soldering furnace has extremely high production efficiency in mass continuous production. It can produce hundreds of mobile phone circuit boards per hour. If the maintenance interval of the furnace is short, the maintenance workload is large and the maintenance time is long, it will inevitably occupy more production time and waste production efficiency. In order to reduce the maintenance cost, lead-free reflow soldering equipment should adopt modular design as far as possible to provide convenience for equipment maintenance and repair.
