  • Patent number: 9657880
    Abstract: A heating device which transfers heat isothermally to an object to be heated. The heating device includes: a block and a base plate which surround a pipe; a first heat insulating cover which covers an outer periphery of the block and the base plate and forms a first heat insulating layer; and a second heat insulating cover which covers an outer periphery of the first heat insulating cover and forms a second heat insulating layer. The first heat insulating cover includes first heat insulating covers fixed to the block and the base plate respectively. The second heat insulating cover includes second heat insulating covers fixed to each of the first heat insulating covers respectively. The heating device further includes snap locks which detachably fixes the second heat insulating covers.

  • Publication number: 20130146258
    Abstract: An isothermal heating apparatus includes a plate including formed therein a heat pipe circuit in which working fluid is charged, and a heating mechanism heating the working fluid. The heat pipe circuit includes a header portion at which the working fluid is heated and evaporated and a plurality of branch portions in which vapor produced by vaporization of the working fluid exchanges heat with the plate and condensates, the branch portions branching off from the header portion. The heating mechanism is provided on an evaporating surface side of the header portion with which the working fluid is in contact when the heating mechanism heats the working fluid. The isothermal heating apparatus can achieve isothermal heating of a heat-treatment subject and size reduction of the apparatus.
