In heat treatment apparatus for the treatment of synthetic yarns and the like, a plurality of heat-transfer jackets having replaceable heating plates thereon are connected to a common liquid heating chamber and a common header or condenser to form a closed heating system. The jacket and header are connected through a restricted orifice to provide a fluid-pressure resistance so that the heated liquid in the chamber when vaporized flows into the upper portion of the heating jacket, through the orifice and into the header where it condenses. The restricted orifice increases the velocity of the vapor flowing into the header preventing the condensation of the vapor at the upper portion of the jackets to thereby eliminate non-uniform temperature areas on the external surfaces of the heater plates. A pressure sensor is connected to at least one of the jackets and includes switching means to control a heating element to maintain a constant temperature and pressure.
