Abstract
A vacuum oven has a furnace chamber provided in a thermally insulated housing and a retort located within the furnace chamber. The retort has an open end and an opposed distal end. The vacuum oven has a door moveable between a closed position in which the open end of the retort is closed and an open position in which the retort is accessible. The door has a thermally insulated outer side and an inner seal which, when the door is in the closed position, closes the open end of the retort. The vacuum oven has a heating element. The seal includes a compressible graphite. In operation at steady state condition, the distal end of the retort is at a first temperature and the open end is at a second temperature. The second temperature is at least 85% of the first temperature and the first temperature is over 1,000° C.
