Mit einer Gasversorgung verbindbare Gasverteilung

摘要

The invention relates to a gas distribution system which can be connected to a gas supply, the purpose of said gas distribution system being to admit and distribute a non-oxidising gas in a shroud (17, 20, 21, 23) covering at least one solder container (22). Printed circuit modules (12) are transported through said shroud and whilst they are being transported, are brought into contact with a wave of solder (24). The gas distribution system has at least one gas distributor situated above and at least one gas distributor (19, 31) situated below the printed circuit modules (12) in order to produce a protective gas atmosphere with low residual oxygen values. Both gas distributors are provided with flow elements (48, 49, 51 to 56, 59; 35, 37, 44, 45). Said flow elements produce a displacement gas blanket which is distributed homogeneously over the discharge surfaces (59, 44, 45) directed towards the solder container.
