Industrial ovens are used for processes that require the application of heat to a material. Some of these processes involve the heating of volatile or flammable solvents. For hazardous material processing, a safety oven, which includes class A ovens and explosion-proof ovens, is required to reduce the risk of a fire or explosion. These ovens are designed to address one of the three ignition sources in volatile applications: oxygen, heat, or fuel. Safety oven designs vary greatly in the technology used, complexity, initial cost, and ongoing operating and maintenance costs. Designs are also heavily dependent on industry standards in relation
