Abstract
Gastight and vacuum-tight chamber intended to be used in a device for heating a product advancing inside the chamber by electromagnetic induction, characterized in that it comprises a gastight and vacuum-tight sheath made of an electrically insulating, gastight and vacuum-tight material, the inner faces of the sheath being protected by a heat shield consisting of a matrix of tiles made of a thermally insulating material and of a plurality of tubes cooled by the flow of a fluid, the latter being trapped in the matrix of tiles.
