The present application provides a reflow oven (100) and a gas recovery method. The reflow oven (100) comprises a reflow oven hearth (101), a separator (105), the separator inlet (110) being connected to the gas outlet (102) of the reflow oven hearth (101) so that the gases in the reflow oven hearth (101) can flow into the separator (105), a zeolite box (107), the zeolite box inlet (112) being connected to the separator outlet (111), and the zeolite box outlet (113) being connected to the gas inlet (103) of the reflow oven hearth (101) so that the gases flowing through the separator (105) can enter the zeolite box (107) and the gases flowing through the zeolite box (107) can flow out of the zeolite box outlet (113), a sensor (106), which is provided in the gas passage between said zeolite box outlet (113) and the gas inlet (103) of the reflow oven hearth (101). The reflow oven (100) in the present application enables the gases flowing through the separator (105) to enter the zeolite box (107). After most of the flux is removed from the gases in the separator (105), the flux is further removed in the zeolite box (107). In addition, polygonal zeolites have certain volumes and are supported in the zeolite box (107) to form clearances, and thus almost no resistance is brought about to the flow of the gases in the zeolite box (107).

A hot-forming die has a heatable lower die and a heatable upper die. The lower die and the upper die have spacer elements to permit flexing. A plate stack including two plate elements is inside the hot-forming die. The plate stack is on the spacer elements in the lower die. The lower die and the upper die are displaced relative to each other when the hot-forming die is closed. The spacer elements of the upper die come into contact with the plate stack. As the closing movement continues, the spacer elements, are displaced into the lower die and the upper die, respectively, and the plate stack is clamped between the lower die and the upper die. The plate stack is then heated by the lower die and the upper die and an internal pressure is applied to an intermediate space between the plate elements by feeding in an active medium.
