Abstract

A reactor is provided for heating a workpiece in a sealed environment. The reactor has a chamber with a gas inlet port, a gas outlet port, and at least one tube for receiving a heat source. The tube passes from outside the chamber into the inside of the chamber without breaking the chamber seal. Alternately, the tubes may be used for treating the workpiece with light, in combination with or instead of heat treatment.
