In this device for controlling the temperature of a battery of cylindrically-shaped electrochemical cells placed side by side, heat is conveyed by the flow of a heat-conveying fluid, which flow takes place inside a double wall whose section is in the form of circular arcs interconnected at their ends so that the junction points between the arcs are substantially in alignment. Relief is disposed in a baffle configuration inside the double wall to constrain the fluid to flow parallel to said section, alternately in one direction and then in the opposite direction. The wall is disposed against the battery in such a manner that each of the circular arcs is disposed coaxially against one of the cells.

A composite high temperature insulator (A) includes a planar layer (10) having anisotropic thermal conductivity properties. A second planar layer (12) is formed from a rigid insulation material, such as a carbonized mixture of carbon fibers and a binder. The second layer is coextensive with the first layer and is preferably bonded thereto by a carbonaceous cement (44). When used to insulate a heat source, such as a furnace (50), convective heat is directed back to the source by the reflective surface (16) of the inner, anisotropic layer (10). Heat which enters the anisotropic layer is dissipated evenly through the plane of the layer along a plurality of heat paths defined by a plurality of layers (14) of flexible graphite. Accordingly, heat which reaches the outer, second layer (12) results in fewer hot spots than occur with a conventional rigid insulation material, thereby reducing the total amount of insulation material required to achieve a desired level of thermal insulation.

A process kit is described that resists plasma erosion, preserves the spatial uniformity of plasma properties, reduces particle generation in the chamber, and significantly enhances the lifetime of the process kit. A layer of polymer material covers the top surface of the process kit. The polymer material is fluorocarbon-based and not reactive with the species in the plasma. The polymer material not only protects the process kit from progressive erosion, but also prevents the generation of particles in the chamber.

The thickness of the layer is controlled between 0.5 and 1.5 mm such that the difference between its coefficient of thermal expansion and that of the process kit will not cause the layer to peel off the process kit's top surface.
