    Abstract: In a retort furnace having a heating assembly, a circulation unit, and an assigned cooling unit, uniform and rapid cooling of the heat-treated workpieces is achieved by three solution variants. The first variant includes a second floor (9.1) assembled to a floor (9) to form an intermediate space which is divided into two ring spaces which are isolated gastight from one another including a first volume space (16) and a second volume space (17). The second variant includes situating throttle valves (20, 21) in a housing (36), each valve having a receptacle space (33), into which a valve plug is movable. In the third variant which is a combination of the first and second variants, the first volume space (16) and the second volume space (17) are adapted to interact for flow technology in such a manner that in the open position of the plug, the flow cross-section of each line (11, 14) is completely unblocked and provides circulation of a cold gas with favorable flow and therefore rapid cooling of the batch (7).

    Abstract: A heat treating furnace is disclosed for nitride case hardening and gas cooling a stationary workload in the same furnace which is comprised of a single chamber and an access door. The chamber is segregated into an outer portion and an inner portion, with the inner portion being adapted to receive the workload to be nitride case hardened through the access door. The inner portion is surrounded by graphite insulation to retain the gas used to nitride case harden the workload. The inner portion further includes a plurality of graphite resistance heating elements and a plurality of graphite plates juxtaposed in near proximity to the graphite resistance heating elements forming a conduit or plenum between them. The inner portion further includes a fan assembly including a graphite radial fan wheel adapted to circulate the nitriding gas within the inner portion and through the conduit to provide uniform nitride case hardening of the workload.
