Abstract

Bei einer Vorrichtung zur Behandlung metallischer Werkstücke (4) mit Kühlgas mit einem zylindrischen Gehäuse (3) mit einer Öffnung an der einen Stirnseite zum Ein- und Ausbringen der Werkstücke (4) sind zwei sich in parallelen Ebenen vertikal im Gehäuse (3) erstreckende Trägerbleche (6, 7) und zwei Luftleitbleche (14, 15) angeordnet, wobei zwischen den Trägerblechen (6, 7) die Werkstückcharge (4) gehalten ist und die Luftleitbleche (14, 15) jeweils mit den benachbarten Trägerblechen (6, 7) und mit der jeweils benachbarten Gehäuseinnenwand Schächte (16, 17 bzw. 26, 27) bilden durch die das am Gehäuse (3) gehaltenen Gebläsen geförderte Kühlgas strömt, gesteuert von Reversierklappen (18, 19, 20, 21) die an den oberen und unteren Enden der Luftleitbleche (14, 15) angeordnet sind.
