For relow ovens the general approaches are: * Clean the vent pipe. * Replace [a section of ] the vent pipe. * Clean the flux trap on newer ovens. * Do nothing and wonder where that brown slime that is dripping on the boards is coming from. For wave

| I have a severe problem with flux residue being drawn up the vent ducts of my reflow oven. This residue reaches a critical mass then begins to flow down the ducts and becomes very messy. I run a no-clean process and use IR oven. Has anyone else o

Several points are: * There can be a seasonality to the venting of [smells emanating from] wave solder machines, because the heating and cooling of your plant changes with season. * Supplier's specification for your wave solder machine defines the pr

Hi @calebcSMT, It is generally recommended to avoid coating the entire body of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors rely on the venting of gas in case of failure or overvoltage conditions, and coating the entire component could hinder

| 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

What are the possible reasons for electrolyte leakage What is the purpose of the vent in the capacitor? Why vent is not being maintained for all types / values of the capacitors? What is the significance of the end seal configuration. Why end seal co

No. My ovens are vented on a seperate system. Any other ideas.

We require that the ovens used for bake out are vented, thus removing the vapor from the oven.
