Patent Abstract

The device has an evacuated and heated reaction chamber (1) that is connected with an evaporator chamber (2). The evaporator chamber is equipped with a pair of separately controllable heating element (5,6) at the transition ends of the reaction chamber. The heating elements of the evaporator chamber are resistant to thermal radiation from the outside of the evaporator chamber with a shielding element (7), such that the temperature of the heating elements is adjusted.
