The assembly includes a device for heating the thermal shell, and thermal insulation is disposed between the thermal shell and the external enclosure. The thermal insulation includes a plurality of metalized high temperature films stacked one on top of another and a plurality of spacer layers, each of the spacer layers being disposed between adjacent ones of the metalized high temperature films.
