Abstract
The inside of a tube of an electrically insulating material is coated with a layer of electrically insulating material by reactive deposition of the coating material from a gas mixture which is passed through the tube. The tube is heated and the deposition is activated by a plasma produced by microwaves. The plasma reciprocates in the tube. Energy consumption is reduced by heating the tube to the reaction temperature at least partly by the energy supplied by the plasma to the tube wall. Thermal losses of the tube are reflected back to the tube wall by a heat reflecting element.
