Dadurch, dass die thermochrome Schicht zwischen zwei Scheiben der Glastür vorgesehen ist, ist sie nur indirekt der Ofeninnenraumtemperatur ausgesetzt. Es tritt an ihr nicht die maximale Ofeninnenraumtemperatur auf. Deshalb kann als thermochrome Schicht eine preiswerte thermosensible Farbschicht verwendet werden, die sich beispielsweise im Siebdruckverfahren oder als Folie, vorzugsweise Polymerfolie, auf die betreffende Scheibe aufbringen lässt. Die Temperaturanzeigeeinrichtung ist damit wesentlich preisgünstiger als eine entsprechende elektronische Temperaturanzeigeeinrichtung.The fact that the thermochromic layer between two panes of the Glass door is provided, it is only indirectly related to the furnace interior temperature exposed. The maximum furnace interior temperature does not occur at it on. This is why an inexpensive thermochromic layer can be used thermosensitive color layer can be used, for example in Screen printing process or as a film, preferably polymer film, on the can apply the relevant disc. The temperature display device is therefore much cheaper than a corresponding electronic Temperature indicator.

Durch die thermochrome Schicht wird nicht die Türtemperatur angezeigt, sondern die Ofeninnenraumtemperatur abgebildet. Zwei- oder mehrscheibige Glastüren sind so ausgelegt, dass ihre Außentemperatur für Benutzer ungefährlich ist. Deshalb ist eine Warnung des Benutzers vor einer hohen Türtemperatur nicht erforderlich.The thermochromic layer does not show the door temperature, but the furnace interior temperature is shown. Two or Multi-pane glass doors are designed so that their outside temperature is harmless to users. That's why the user is warned not necessary before a high door temperature.

Vorzugsweise ist die Stelle, an der die thermochrome Schicht aufgebracht ist, so gewählt, dass bei maximaler Ofeninnenraumtemperatur von etwa 280 °C bis 300 °C die Temperatur an der Schicht 120 °C nicht überschreitet. Thermosensible Farben, die bei 120 °C nicht geschädigt werden, sind marktbekannt.The point at which the thermochromic layer is applied is preferably is selected so that at a maximum furnace interior temperature of about 280 ° C to 300 ° C the temperature at the layer 120 ° C does not exceeds.
