Ammonia Cracker

Ammonia decomposition furnaces producing a 75% H₂ / 25% N₂ protective atmosphere — the economical hydrogen source for bright annealing, brazing and sintering.

Ammonia cracker furnace
75% H₂ / 25% N₂

Protective Atmosphere Without Hydrogen Cylinders

Liquid ammonia is decomposed over a heated catalyst into 75% hydrogen + 25% nitrogen — an ideal reducing atmosphere for continuous bright annealing furnaces, brazing and powder metallurgy. One system replaces dangerous hydrogen logistics.

  • Decomposition rate ≥ 99.9%, residual NH₃ ≤ 10 ppm
  • With purification unit: residual NH₃ ≤ 3 ppm, dew point ≤ -60 °C
  • Nickel catalyst, long service life, easy replacement
  • Complete unit: cracker + purification + heat exchanger + control
