FURNACE AND HEATING DEVICE COMPRISING A THERMAL BARRIER AND A HEATING METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH SAID FURNACE

摘要

A furnace for heating an object in a space, including a refractory ceramic wall, a heat source, at least one metal plate coated with an adherent layer of ceramic material on one of its principal faces, the coated plate being placed between the wall and the source, the adherent layer being situated facing the source. The coated metal plate acts as a thermal barrier and improves heating efficiency of the heat source. The furnace may for example serve to bend by gravity glass sheets placed on a bending frame.
