Abstract
A reflow furnace has a tunnel through which a conveyor for printed circuit boards passes. A plurality of pairs of panel-type blowers capable of blowing hot gas are disposed in the tunnel. The two panel-type blowers in each pair are disposed opposite one another above and below the conveyor. Each panel-type blower has an inlet and a discharge port. The discharge ports of opposing panel-type blowers partially overlap one another in the longitudinal direction of the furnace. When a printed circuit board is present between a pair of panel-type blowers, gas discharged from the discharge ports simultaneously heats both sides of the printed circuit board.
