Abstract
A furnace for thermal treatment, in particular for carbonization and/or graphitization, of material, in particular fibers, in particular fibers of oxidized polyacrylonitrile PAN. During the thermal treatment, a pyrolysis gas is released from the material. The furnace includes a housing, a process space, which is located in the interior of the housing and is delimited by a process space housing and through which the material can be fed, a heating system for heating a process space atmosphere prevailing in the process space, and an extraction system for suctioning process space atmosphere laden with pyrolysis gas from the process space. The extraction system has at least one suction device having a suction channel, which is delimited by a channel wall and which is connected to the process space by means of a suction opening. The suction opening is arranged in a region of the process space in which, during operation of the furnace a temperature prevails at which no or only moderate chemical reactions occur between the pyrolysis gas and the process space housing and/or the channel wall.
