Abstract

A shielding module for a high-temperature furnace has a packet of interconnected shielding plates. The packet of interconnected shielding plates is mounted to a common base body. The base body has fixing points for fixing to base bodies of other shielding modules of the same kind.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shielding module for a high-temperature furnace, the shielding module comprising:
a common base body; and
a packet of interconnected shielding plates mounted on said common base body;
said common base body having fixing points for fixing to base bodies of other shielding modules of the same kind.

2. The shielding module according to claim 1 , wherein said base body is a box with a base plate and side walls, and wherein said side walls run substantially perpendicularly to a plane parallel to said shielding plates.

3. The shielding module according to claim 1 , wherein said base body has four side walls.

4. The shielding module according to claim 1 , wherein said fixing points are arranged on at least one side wall of said base body.

5. The shielding module according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one heat conductor mounting formed on the shielding module and connected to said base body.

6. The shielding module according to claim 5 , further comprising a guide sleeve connected to said base plate and connecting said heat conductor mounting to said base body.

7. The shielding module according to claim 1 , wherein said packet of shielding plates has at least one side edge formed with a notch configured for engaging in a corresponding notch of a further shielding module.

8. The shielding module according to claim 1 , wherein said shielding plates consist of a refractory metal.

9. A shield for a high-temperature furnace, the shield comprising a plurality of shielding modules each according to claim 1 .

10. A hot zone, comprising a plurality of shielding modules each according to claim 1 , at least one heat conductor mounting, and at least one heat conductor.

11. A high-temperature furnace, comprising:
a plurality of shielding modules each according to claim 1 , said shielding modules delimiting a process chamber of the high-temperature furnace;
wherein directly adjacent shielding modules are connected to one another via the fixing points of the base bodies.

12. The high-temperature furnace according to claim 11 , wherein the process chamber has a theoretical polygonal cross-section.

13. The high-temperature furnace according to claim 11 , wherein a plurality of interconnected base bodies of said plurality of shielding modules form a self-bearing supporting structure.

14. The high-temperature furnace according to claim 11 , further comprising at least one support for mounting a shield of a plurality of said shielding modules disposed on a side of one or more of said shielding modules facing the process chamber.

15. The high-temperature furnace according to claim 11 , wherein the high-temperature furnace is configured for a horizontal feed.
