Horizontal Composite Autoclave, also called industrial autoclave for composite material or carbon fiber autoclave, can be used as key equipment for hot-press curing of metal or non-metallic bonding components and resin-based high-strength glass fiber, carbon fiber, boron fiber, aramid fiber and epoxy resin composites. The horizontal composite autoclave can be used to pump composite materials. In the case of vacuum, it can absorb, heat and pressurize and solidifies. There are mainly three kinds of horizontal composite autoclave such as scientific research experimental autoclave, civil autoclave and military autoclave.
The composite autoclave was installed and commissioned on site in April 2018. The average temperature was even and the door was opened flexibly. It fully met the technical requirements and passed the acceptance.

Horizontal Composite Autoclave mainly contains the following sub systems
- Control system of Horizontal Composite Autoclave: adopts Siemens PLC computer automatic control to achieve full-range high-precision control and real-time recording of pressure, temperature, cooling and other process parameters. The gas-electric interlocking device ensures that the tank door can be closed before it can be boosted, and the pressure inside the tank can be discharged. is completed, the door can only open in line with TSG 21-2016 stationary pressure vessel safety supervision and ASME pressure vessel on quick safety interlock requirements.
- Heating system of Horizontal Composite Autoclave: stainless steel heating pipe, high temperature water cooling fan, duct plate, insulation layer, temperature control system, heating power to meet the maximum temperature requirements and the heating rate requirements in the tank, heating power group control, to achieve different heating rate.
- Cooling system of Horizontal Composite Autoclave: It is mainly composed of three stages: pre-cooling, main cooling and fan cooling. Since the autoclave is in high temperature during the working process, it is first cooled after entering the cooling stage to avoid heat and cold of the cooling pipes. Uneven stress, thereby extending the life of the cooler. After the pre-cooling period is over, the temperature of the autoclave tank is far from the tank temperature requirement, and a further main cooling process is required. The cooling of the autoclave tank is mainly completed at this stage. The function of the fan in the autoclave tank is to evenly distribute the hot air generated by the heater to the entire tank body, so that the tank body is in a constant temperature state during the whole operation process. During the operation of the fan, the heat generated by the motor needs to pass through the circulating water belt. In order to ensure the normal operation of the fan, fan cooling water must be supplied throughout the production process.
- Vacuum system of Horizontal Composite Autoclave: It consists of vacuum pump, pipeline, vacuum gauge and vacuum valve. It provides vacuum conditions for the prefabricated parts of the package. The number of vacuum channels is 16 and the sample is separated.
