Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1088901A1] Heat treating metallic workpieces comprises producing a cooling gas stream using a ventilator in an evacuated quenching chamber of a single or multiple chamber furnace. The ventilator is operated by a rotary current motor which is operated above the lowest pressure for the motor output in the quenching chamber with a prescribed supply voltage. The ventilator is started at a pressure in the chamber which is lower than the lowest pressure and the rotary current motor is operated until it achieves the lowest pressure in the chamber with a second lower supply voltage. Preferred Features: The rotary current motor is operated above the lowest pressure with a supply voltage of approximately 400 V and below the lowest pressure with a supply voltage of approximately 230 V.
