Abstract

L'invention porte sur une unité d'étage pour une station de sonde, dans laquelle est disposé un mandrin comprenant un trajet d'écoulement et sur lequel est positionnée une tranche. Un conduit pour alimenter un agent de refroidissement dans le mandrin est installé dans l'unité d'étage, pour ainsi refroidir le mandrin jusqu'à une première température. Le conduit est relié au trajet d'écoulement et comprend une ligne d'alimentation pour distribuer l'agent de refroidissement dans le mandrin et une ligne d’évacuation pour évacuer l'agent de refroidissement du mandrin. Un élément chauffant est agencé à l'intérieur du mandrin et chauffe le mandrin. Un bloc chauffant est positionné adjacent au mandrin et évapore l'agent de refroidissement résiduel restant dans la ligne d'alimentation par chauffage lorsque le mandrin est porté de la première température à une seconde température supérieure à la première température par l'élément chauffant. En conséquence, le mandrin peut être maintenu à une température uniforme.
