Abstract: The present invention relates to a furnace, in particular a continuous furnace, for controlling a temperature of at least one substrate. A housing of the furnace comprises an intake opening and an outtake opening, wherein between the intake opening and the outtake opening a temperature-controlled section is formed. A carrier element for carrying the at least one substrate is movable along a transport direction through the intake opening into the temperature-controlled section and from the temperature-controlled section through the outtake opening. A temperature controlling element is thermally coupled to the temperature-controlled section for controlling the temperature of the temperature-controlled section. The temperature-controlled section comprises a gas inlet through which a gas is blowable for controlling the temperature of the temperature-controlled section.
