Crystallization tests bench

A model of an air-cooled tube (“air-heat saw”) installed in a laboratory tube furnace is presented. The setup (“crystallization tests bench”) allows easy regulation and simultaneous crystallization tests of a series of different crystallization parameters in crucible columns, enabling fast studies of obtaining crystals from materials with unknown crystallization parameters. The relationships between the crystallization rate and parameters of air-cooled tube are given and numerically analyzed. This method can also be applied in crucible or chamber furnaces.
