  • Patent number: 8747731
    Abstract: In a device for preparing process gases (3) for heat treatments of metallic materials/workpieces, the respective process gas (3) is to be fed into at least one treatment chamber (1.1) in an industrial furnace (1) having been practically fully prepared, homogenised and heated, and the method is to be carried out both with newly built and particularly with already existing installations of industrial furnaces (1) with the aid of the device, wherein the process gas (3) is prepared with compression at temperatures uncoupled from the temperature in the treatment chamber (1.1), in a process separate from the heat treatment process in the treatment chamber (1.1), and in a temperature range up to about 1250° C., and is rendered usable for economical and low-emission heat treatment (FIG. 3).

  • Patent number: 8465603
    Abstract: For regulating process gases for heat treatments of metal materials/workpieces in industrial furnaces (1), which have at least one treatment chamber (2), at least one burnoff point (4) having at least one first valve (4.1), and a regulator (5) having pressure meter (5.1), the burnoff point (4) is only to be opened as a function of requirements related to the process gas. For this purpose, in a first step, with open first valve (4.1), a quantity of a flushing gas (6.1) of the gas mixture (6) of the respective process gas is supplied in a controlled manner to the industrial furnace (1) and then burned off, in a second step, the valve (4.1) is closed, the industrial furnace (1) is regulated to a preset furnace pressure and this is permanently detected via the pressure meter (5.1), in a third step, with the target pressure of the industrial furnace achieved, this pressure is detected via the pressure meter (5.1) and maintained, the first valve (4.1) further remaining closed.
