We describe the development and implementation of a compact, low power, infrared heated tube furnace for in situ powder X-ray diffraction experiments. Our silicon carbide (SiC) based furnace design exhibits outstanding thermal performance in terms of accuracy control and temperature ramping rates while simultaneously being easy to use, robust to abuse and, due to its small size and low power, producing minimal impact on surrounding equipment. Temperatures in air in excess of 1100 °C can be controlled at an accuracy of better than 1%, with temperature ramping rates up to 100 °C/s. The complete "add-in" device, minus power supply, fits in a cylindrical volume approximately 15 cm long and 6 cm in diameter and resides as close as 1 cm from other sensitive components of our experimental synchrotron endstation without adverse effects.
我们描述了一种用于原位粉末X射线衍射实验的紧凑、低功率红外加热管式炉的开发与实现。我们基于碳化硅（SiC）的炉体设计在精确控制和升温速率方面展现出卓越的热性能，同时易于使用、抗滥用，并且由于其尺寸小、功率低，对周围设备的影响极小。在空气中，温度超过1100°C时，可实现优于1%的精度控制，升温速率高达100°C/s。完整的“插入式”装置（不含电源）可装入一个长约15厘米、直径6厘米的圆柱形空间内，并且可放置在距离我们实验同步加速器终端站的其他敏感部件仅1厘米处，而不会产生不利影响。
