Claim:
A thermal analysis system having a furnace body portion including a heater block into which a specimen is loaded, a cooling block connected with the heater block, and a purge box making an outside housing of the heater block and cooling block, the thermal analysis system comprising: a furnace body portion-drying means for drying the furnace body portion for a predetermined time in response to activation of the thermal analysis system, the furnace body portion-drying means comprising: a gas-inflow means for letting a drying gas flow into the furnace body portion: and a heater block temperature-controlling means for controlling a temperature of the heater block, wherein the furnace body portion-drying means changes a gas-inflow condition and a control temperature condition depending on a type of a cooling device connected with the cooling block wherein when the cooling device is an electric cooling device, the heater block temperature-controlling means makes the temperature of the heater block a first temperature with the cooling device kept off, and makes the temperature a second temperature higher than the first temperature after confirmation of activation of the electric cooling device.
