Abstract
An apparatus or a method for heating a component by the condensation thereon of a suitable vapor, for example to make a soldered connection in condensation soldering. The vapor is produced by passing a heat transfer oil through a vaporizer comprising permeable electrically conductive material, and is introduced into a heating chamber containing the component. The heating chamber is held at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, and a condenser chamber is connectable to the heating chamber for condensing the vapor at the end of the heating cycle.
