Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanotube fibers, which includes: a synthesis furnace that provides a space therein where a carbon nanotube fiber is synthesized; a raw material supplier that supplies a liquid-state raw material for a carbon nanotube into the synthesis furnace; a gas supplier that supplies a carrying gas into the synthesis furnace; a sub-synthesis furnace that is formed in the shape of a pipe and disposed at the upper portion in the synthesis furnace, and in which the raw material for a fiber flows along the inner side; a nozzle that sprays the raw material for a fiber supplied by the raw material supplier to the inner wall of the sub-synthesis furnace; and a heater that disposed along the outer side of the synthesis furnace.

An apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanotube fibers, comprising:
- a synthesis furnace having a space where a carbon nanotube fiber is synthesized;
- a raw material supplier to supply a liquid-state raw material for the carbon nanotube fiber into the synthesis furnace;
- a gas supplier to supply a carrying gas into the synthesis furnace;
- a sub-synthesis furnace formed in the shape of a pipe and disposed at an upper portion of the synthesis furnace, wherein the liquid-state raw material for the carbon nanotube fiber flows along an inner wall of the sub-synthesis furnace;
- a nozzle to spray the liquid-state raw material for the carbon nanotube fiber supplied by the raw material supplier to the inner wall of the sub-synthesis furnace;
- and
- a heater disposed along the outer side of the synthesis furnace, wherein
- concave portions and convex portions are formed on the inner wall of the sub-synthesis furnace.
