Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Ofenanlage (1) sowie ein Verfahren zum Betreiben der Ofenanlage (1) zur Einstellung von zwei verschiedenen Temperaturbereichen in einer thermisch zu behandelnden Platine (5). Hierzu sieht die erfindungsgemäße Ofenanlage (1) eine Strahlungswärmequelle (4) sowie eine konduktive Wärmebehandlungseinheit vor. Zur effektiven Energienutzung wird das in einen Innenraum der Ofenanlage (1) befindliche Abgas (A) abgesaugt und erneut dem Verbrennungsvorgang zugeführt oder aber zur Temperierung eines Kühlkreislaufs für Kühlplatten (14) genutzt.

The present invention relates to a furnace installation (1) and a method for operating the furnace installation (1) for setting two different temperature ranges in a circuit board (5) to be thermally treated. For this purpose, the furnace installation (1) according to the invention provides a radiant heat source (4) and a conductive heat treatment unit. For effective energy use located in an interior of the furnace (1) exhaust gas (A) is sucked off and returned to the combustion process or used for temperature control of a cooling circuit for cooling plates (14).
