Vapour phase oven.

Generally there are three steps to the process. A 230 c boiling fluid g. Simple made home made vapor phase oven. Most vapor phase ovens cost almost as much as a multi zone conveyor oven which can handle orders of magnitude more boards per hour but the ones from imdes are far cheaper.

This allows the soldered parts to remain sealed inside a neutral atmosphere. Pfpe condensing on the pcbs. In a vapor phase oven limitations of the physical temperature reliably prevent overheating of any part in the soldering process. The heating up phase the evacuation of the autoclave and cooling.

The vapor phase process is the ideal solution to reflow temperature control issues in small batch production runs. Unlike ir or convection batch type ovens with varying temperature control concerns our vapor phase ovens provide you with evenly distributed temperature throughout the production cycle completely under your control. The liquid used is chosen with a desired boiling point in mind to suit the solder alloy to be reflowed. Late last year when i was trying to buy a toaster oven to convert i started looking at what would be involved in making my own vapor phase oven.

The two methods only differ in the heating up phase hot air and vapor phase.
