    摘要: A temperature management apparatus is provided with: a temperature management furnace having a space in which an article is disposed and temperature is managed; bar-like members containing a magnetic material; facing members, each of which faces a part of the side surface of each of the bar-like members and contains a magnetic material; drive apparatuses, which rotate the bar-like members about their center axes and change the relative positions of the bar-like members and the facing members; and a contact member, which moves in the temperature management furnace in association with changes of the relative positions of the bar-like members and the facing members, and which moves the article by being in contact with the article. The drive apparatuses are disposed outside of the space in which temperature is managed.
