After the DI dishwasher cleaning, and before the final oven bake at 100C, we remove the large water deposits on assemblies with a pass from an esd blowvac. Is this a safe alternative to drying with compressed air?

Eric: I�ll pass on the uV and ammonia, also. Thoughts are: 1 You�re correct that the temperature/humidity mix can be a big driver to latex peelable solder mask cure time, but don�t overlook material thickness. Dispensers put material in a very th

One thing we did for our oven is hook it up to the compressed air system in the factory and bled in a small volume of air to create a positive pressure in the oven. The air is clean (non-oiled) and comes off the dryer. We can attain 5% RH. Remembe

Larry, You can try one of two approaches, a bake above 100C will drive off moisture or use a vacuum bake. The vacuum bake process is slow since there is less/no air to conduct the heat. In the hybrid industry the standard vacuum bake was 16 hours at

| We are installing a new reflow oven and I have been told that we do not need to vent the exhaust out through the roof since we have a false ceiling. All that is required is to vent above the false ceiling and that the air exchange is great enough t

That is an interesting idea. Would the air circulation increase the rate of oxidation on the component leads?

We do the same, once you kill the power you lose your air circulation. I'm assuming it's not too good for the oven to have all that heat not moving.

Defects will result, Your cooling rate is affected because the hot air is not circulated properly. Outgassing will appear and you'll have pin holes / blow holes, disturbed joint etc. Correct me guys if i'm wrong. Thanks

Hi TMC, It's very unlikely that you'll get a temperature variation of 32 degrees by varying the top and bottom heaters - especially if it's forced air convection, as if it's a half decent system the hot air will be circulating in the zone, pretty qu

If it's forced air convection I'd check all the circulating fans and filters. Also if its a clam shell bonnet make sure it's closed all the way and the seal is good. You didn't specify whether it is one zone or the full length of the oven, I do not w
