1. SQXF reaction cycle analysis Coils 001 and 101 N.Bourcey 07/11/2014

2. Reminder on the furnace operation Slide F.Lackner (03/2012)

3. Too long to reach the dwell… decision to use SQXF-101 to optimize the cycle! Remarks: -No ventilation in the retort -Argon flow 2500-3000l/h in the retort

4. Instrumentation layout SQXF-101 tc19 tc20 tc14 Position of the thermocouple in block 5, 16 and 28.
