Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0922778A1] The common enclosure of the heat treatment installation is a cylinder (10) with a horizontal axis of which at least one end is designed to receive a module (8) in the form of an extended cylinder (10') to which are connected some supplementary cells (14'). A heat treatment installation is operated under a rarified atmosphere and incorporates several treatment cells (14, 15, 16) connected in a horizontal plane to a common airtight enclosure fitted with a handling system (18, 22) for transferring a charge (24) from one cell to another. The common enclosure is a cylinder (10) with a horizontal axis of which at least one end is designed to receive a module (8) in the form of an extended cylinder (10') to which are connected some supplementary cells (14').
