Abstract (en)

A single-chamber HPGQ vacuum furnace is equipped with a load cooling nozzle system which is divided into two subsystems. The first of which is installed on the side walls of the heating chamber (2), with the nozzle system directed towards the load (21), while the second one is built into the insulating wall of the hearth (3), executed in the form of collectors (24) placed in a circular arrangement in relation to each workpiece (21) situated vertically on hearth supports (3). Each of the collectors (24) has a row of blowing nozzles (30) arranged at the height of the workpiece (21) and directed at an angle between 75° and 105° towards the workpiece surface.
