Abstract
Abstract A hot air oven comprises a heating chamber with a partition plate at the rear thereof defining a blower chamber therebehind in which is mounted a blower, the partition plate having an opening facing the blower. A combustion chamber is below the heating chamber and mounts a burner which produces heated air which flows through a hot air duct to the heating chamber at a location proximate the opening in the partition plate so that the hot air is drawn into the blower chamber. The hot air is then forced by the blower through side openings in the blower chamber into the heating chamber. The blower chamber also has an exhaust opening for discharge of exhaust gas to the outside.
