However, in the conventional cylindrical heating element made of graphite or carbon, the thermal decomposition product of the heating element adheres to the outer peripheral surface and is deposited over time, so that the radiation thermometer is used. The temperature of the outer peripheral surface measured in 1. was lower than the temperature of the inner peripheral surface of the tubular heating element with time. On the other hand, since the temperature of the cylindrical heating element is controlled based on the temperature measurement signal of the outer peripheral surface of the heating element, if the temperature decreases over time as described above, the temperature of the outer peripheral surface rises by the reduced amount. Therefore, the temperature of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical heating element rises conversely by an amount corresponding to the lowered temperature of the outer peripheral surface. That is, in the conventional cylindrical heating element, since the thermal decomposition product of the heating element adheres and deposits on the outer peripheral surface over time, the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral surface corresponds to the temperature difference between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface due to the deposition. It has a drawback that the temperature rises with time and the temperature of the treated area of the fiber inside the heating element changes with time.

The operating temperature of the cylindrical heating element is 2000
Since the temperature is extremely high, the carbonaceous material is evaporated (sublimated), is worn and deteriorated in a short time, and the heat generating element is frequently replaced. The carbonaceous material vaporizes rapidly when the temperature of the heating element exceeds 2500 degrees Celsius, and at an extremely high temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius, it has a life of several tens to several hundreds of hours. Rising raises the drawback of shortening the life accordingly.

Further, once it becomes necessary to replace the heating element, the temperature of the furnace must first be lowered, and it takes about one week from the state of 2000 ° C. or 2500 ° C. to the working state. Even if it takes several days for replacement, it takes about one week from the completion of replacement to gradually raising the temperature and reaching a steady state. Therefore, there is no production for about half a month for each replacement. When the usage time is several hours or tens of hours, most of the equipment takes time to replace the heating element, and the usage time is extremely short, so the operation rate of the equipment is extremely low and the temperature rise with time as described above. There has been a strong demand for improvement in life reduction due to

Therefore, the temperature of the inner wall of the tubular heating element 2 can be measured by the radiation thermometers 101 and 103 provided in the viewing windows 91 and 93. Further, the radiation thermometer 102 provided in the viewing window 92 corresponding to the temperature measuring pipe 82 can measure the temperature of the outer wall of the tubular heating element 2. The radiation thermometers 102 and 103 are provided to see how the temperatures of the inner wall and the outer wall of the tubular heating element 2 change with time.
Since the signal of the radiation thermometer 101 that directly measures the inner wall temperature of the tubular heating element 2 is transmitted to the heating controller 201 having a mechanism for controlling heating as shown in FIG. The temperature is kept constant by the controller 201.

The viewing windows 91, 92, 93 are temperature measuring pipes 81,
When the cylindrical heating element 2 is heated and evaporated because it is connected to the outer cylinder 3 by 82 and 83, the evaporate passes through the temperature measuring pipe to reach the peephole and cloud the inside of the peephole. Therefore, an inert gas is sent from the gas inlet 13 into the temperature measuring pipe to prevent the peephole from fogging and to ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement. In this case, an excessively large amount of gas injection adversely affects each portion in the furnace shell, so 1 to 10 liters per minute, preferably 1 to 5 liters per minute is preferable.

Thus, since the temperature of the inner wall of the cylindrical heating element is accurately controlled, the object to be processed can be heat-treated at an accurate predetermined temperature. Table 1 shows the results of an experiment conducted to show how significant it is to directly measure the temperature of the inner wall of the cylindrical heating element and control the temperature based on this measurement signal.

Table 1 shows that argon gas was used as an inert gas, the atmospheric pressure was set to 3 kg per square centimeter, and then the temperature inside the cylinder was heated to 3000 ° C., and the inner wall and the outer wall of the cylindrical heating element were heated. The temperature is measured over time. The heating element used was one made of cylindrical graphite having an outer diameter of 50 mm, an inner diameter of 30 mm, and a length of 650 mm, which was measured by the radiation thermometers 102 and 103 in FIG.

According to Table 1, the temperature of the inner wall of the heat generating body is kept constant. However, the temperature of the outer wall of the heating element is slightly lower than the temperature of the inner wall of the heating element from the beginning of heating, but the temperature difference increases with the passage of time, reaching 170 degrees after 350 hours. Therefore, when the temperature of the outer wall of the tubular heating element is measured and the temperature of the tubular heating element is controlled to be constant based on this measurement signal, the temperature of the inner wall of the tubular heating element of Table 1 changes with time. It has a drawback that not only is it controlled to a value higher than that value, the tubular heating element is overheated and the life is shortened, but also the processing temperature for the yarn changes with time. On the other hand, the present invention measures the temperature of the inner wall of the tubular heating element and controls the temperature of the tubular heating element to be constant based on this measurement signal. The temperature does not change over time and remains constant, without shortening the life of the cylindrical heating element.
The processing temperature for the yarn also stabilizes over time.
