A device for tempering an object includes a chamber for receiving the object, wherein the chamber is surrounded by a chamber casing, a base element and a cover element, a heating element, a rotor for circulating a first gas, wherein the rotor is arranged in the chamber, and a rotor drive with which the rotor is made to rotate. The heating element is formed by the rotor with the rotor drive.

A batch annealing furnace includes a coil support base on which an end face of a coil is mounted and that supports the coil with an axis of the coil being upright, an inner cover that covers an entire body of the coil mounted on the coil support base, and a cooling pipe that extends downward from the upper part of the inner cover to a cavity of the inner peripheral part of the coil mounted on the coil support base and cools the coil from the inner surface side by passing a coolant through the inside of the cooling pipe.
