Installation de traitement (100) selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 6, caractérisée en ce qu'un échangeur de chaleur (134) et/ou un dispositif de transfert de chaleur (300) comprennent un échangeur de chaleur à faisceau thermique (320), lequel comprend plusieurs tubes cylindriques creux (304), dans laquelle un espace (306) entourant les tubes cylindriques creux (304) est divisé au moyen de plusieurs éléments de séparation (308) en plusieurs zones de transfert de chaleur et/ou sections de transfert de chaleur (312) et/ou étages de transfert de chaleur (302) isolés les uns des autres, dans laquelle il est prévu de préférence qu'une chute de pression puisse être produite et/ou maintenue entre des zones de transfert de chaleur et/ou sections de transfert de chaleur (312) et/ou étages de transfert de chaleur (302) adjacents au moyen d'une commande de pression et/ou d'une régulation de pression, par exemple en utilisant un dispositif de commande adapté pour commander et/ou réguler une ou plusieurs soufflantes (120) de telle manière qu'un gaz froid plus froid avec un risque de condensation plus faible s'écoule depuis une zone de transfert de chaleur et/ou une section de transfert de chaleur (312) et/ou un étage de transfert de chaleur (302) en passant par un élément de séparation (308) vers une zone de transfert de chaleur et/ou une section de transfert de chaleur (312) adjacente et/ou un étage de transfert de chaleur (302) adjacent, dans laquelle ou lequel du gaz froid comparativement plus chaud avec un risque de condensation plus élevé est disposé.
  8. Installation de traitement (100) selon la revendication 7, caractérisée en ce que deux zones de transfert de chaleur et/ou sections de transfert de chaleur (312) et/ou étages de transfert de chaleur (302) sont séparés l'un de l'autre au moyen de deux éléments de séparation (308), dans laquelle il est formé entre les deux éléments de séparation (308) une zone de fente (314), à laquelle de préférence de l'air de blocage, en particulier de l'air frais, peut être amené.
  9. Procédé pour traiter des pièces (102), comprenant :
    - la traversée de plusieurs sections d'espace de traitement (114) d'un espace de traitement (112) d'une installation de traitement (100) par plusieurs flux de gaz guidés dans des circuits séparés ;
    - le réchauffement des flux de gaz au moyen d'un flux de gaz chauffant, lequel est guidé dans un guidage de gaz chauffant (136) d'une installation de chauffage (126) de l'installation de traitement (100),
    caractérisé en ce que de la chaleur produite dans un dispositif de chauffage (128) de l'installation de chauffage (126) est transférée sur un gaz chauffant guidé dans le guidage de gaz chauffant (136) au moyen d'un échangeur de chaleur (134) réalisé avec plusieurs étages,
    et que du gaz évacué hors des modules à circulation d'air (116) est évacué par l'intermédiaire d'une section d'évacuation (142) du guidage de gaz chauffant (136) et est amené en tant que gaz chauffant à l'échangeur de chaleur (134) pour le réchauffer à nouveau.
  10. Procédé selon la revendication 9, caractérisé en ce qu'un flux de gaz chauffant guidé dans le guidage de gaz chauffant (136) est amené à plusieurs étages d'échangeur de chaleur (302) d'un échangeur de chaleur (134) les uns après les autres pour le réchauffer.
