The present invention relates to a temperature-control unit for a furnace device for heat treating a plate, in particular a metal plate. The temperature-control unit has a temperature-control body, which is arrangeable in a furnace chamber of the furnace device. The temperature-control body has a plurality of receiving bores. Furthermore, the temperature-control unit has a plurality of temperature-control pins, wherein the temperature-control pins are mounted in the receiving bores movably relative to the temperature-control body. The temperature-control pins are controllable in such a way that a temperature-control group of the temperature-control pins is extendable from the temperature-control body in the direction towards the plate, so that a thermal contact between the temperature-control group of the temperature-control pins and a predetermined temperature-control zone of the plate is generatable.

An apparatus is disclosed for a spray-cooled roof of a tilting metallurgical furnace having a drain pump. The spray-cooled roof has a hollow metal roof section. The hollow metal roof section has an outer metal covering member, an inner metal base member spaced from and opposite the outer metal covering member, an enclosed space disposed between the outer metal covering member and the inner metal base member, and a spray-cooled system disposed in the enclosed space. An evacuation drain is fluidly coupled to the enclosed space and a pump is integrated into the spray-cooled roof and coupled to the evacuation drain.

An installation for melting a composition of raw materials, suitable for obtaining glass wool, textile glass yarns and/or flat glass, includes a melting chamber equipped with at least one submerged burner, wherein the melting chamber is defined by side walls made of refractory material and a bare metal bottom traversed by a network of pipes adapted for the circulation of a cooling fluid.

A heat treatment system includes heating chambers configured to perform heat treatment on objects to be treated, and a conveyance device configured to load each of the objects to be treated into the heating chambers, unload the object to be treated from the heating chambers, and convey the object to be treated under an oxygen-free atmosphere, wherein the conveyance device includes a cooling device configured to perform cooling treatment on the object to be treated.

A vacuum pressure furnace and/or a cooling plate for a vacuum pressure furnace is described, having a cooling channel or tube that selectively circulates a liquid coolant at a reduced temperature. The cooling channel “snakes” back and forth through a target plate assembly to conduct heat from the target plate assembly and back to the coolant. The target plate assembly includes a plurality of clamp members that are screwed over portions of the cooling channel and to a bottom of a plate member of the assembly, enclosing portions of the cooling channel. Thermal sheets or foil are wrapped around the cooling channel, thereby bridging any gaps between the components that may occur during temperature changes due to thermal expansion/contraction.

Proposed are a chilling unit, a heat treatment apparatus including same, and a heat treatment method. More particularly, proposed is a technology capable of rapidly and effectively lowering the temperature of a heating plate by bringing a heat exchange medium of a chilling unit into contact with the heating plate and then circulating a refrigerant after performing a heat treatment process of a substrate through a heat treatment apparatus.
