About Endothermic Gas Generator
Endothermic Gas Generator manufactured by United Enterprises is a controlled-atmosphere gas generator that produces endothermic gas a controlled CO + H + N mixture used widely in carburizing, carbonitriding and bright hardening furnaces.
Brief Description:
Endothermic gas is the standard atmosphere for carburizing and carbonitriding heat treatment. It is produced by reacting natural gas, LPG or propane with limited air at high temperature over a nickel catalyst, yielding a carbon-controlled atmosphere ideal for surface hardening of steel.
Our Endothermic Gas Generators are built with high-quality reaction retorts, nickel catalyst beds, water-cooled reformers and PLC / SCADA-based control. Capacities from 5 Nm/hr to 100+ Nm/hr are routinely supplied.
Each unit is engineered around the customers furnace size, carbon potential needs and feed gas type.

FAQ's of Endothermic Gas Generator:
Q: How does the water-cooled recirculation system benefit the gas generator's operation?
A: The water-cooled recirculation system efficiently controls the gas outlet temperature (80C to 100C), ensuring consistent gas quality and protecting downstream equipment from overheating, thus enhancing both safety and operational reliability.
Q: What is the typical process for generating endothermic gas in this system?
A: The process involves warming hydrocarbon feedstock using Nickel-Chromium resistance coils, passing it over a Nickel catalyst within a temperature-controlled chamber. The resulting endothermic gas (CO, H2, N2) is then cooled and supplied at the required purity and pressure.
Q: Where can this Endothermic Gas Generator be installed, and is the installation complicated?
A: The skid-mounted design makes it easy to install at industrial sites such as heat treatment facilities and manufacturing plants. Professional on-site installation and commissioning are available to ensure proper setup and operation.
Q: What control systems are included, and how do they enhance usage?
A: The unit comes standard with a PID digital temperature controller featuring an alarm, ensuring precision. Depending on your requirement, you may choose a semi-automatic or an optional PLC-based control for automated and efficient system management.
Q: When is service support available, and what options ensure long-term reliability?
A: On-site installation, commissioning, and after-sales service support are provided, including access to Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for ongoing system reliability and reduced downtime.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this gas generator for heat treatment furnaces?
A: Key benefits include continuous, high-purity gas production with a stable composition, energy-efficient operation, robust safety features, low maintenance requirements, and easy customization to meet specific industrial needs.
