Abstract
A condensation heating apparatus particularly useful for curing abrasion resistant coatings on eyeglass lenses has an open topped chamber with a baffle assembly for reducing the loss of vapor through the open top. The baffle assembly includes a fixed vertical partition and a removable, L-shaped baffle that has a horizontal portion to cover part of the chamber and a vertical portion which also serves as a partition. The baffle assembly extends only partially into the chamber and terminates above the top of the vapor zone so that the assembly does not become hot to the touch.
