English term or phrase: HEM Furnace
System, in which silicon crystals for solar enrgy componente are 'grown'. HEM stands for 'heat exchanger method'. I am not sure, if the furnace is just translated to Ofen, Brennofen, System, Anlage....Any ideas...or preferrably knowledge?

Thank you

Wärmetauscher


Explanation:
"heat exchange"="Wärmeaustausch"

I believe the "furnace" is not to be seen as an "oven" in German bu can even be left out. "Wärmetauscher" is, as to my experience, a common German term for this kind of equipment.
