Abstract
We present a device which modifies the heat-pipe oven in such a way that the molecular number density can be drastically reduced. The device is essentially a small chamber with an independent internal heater inserted into the center of the ordinary linear heat-pipe oven which, in turn, serves as a reservoir of the liquid metal. The advantage of the present design of superheating within the heat-pipe oven, where temperature differences of several hundreds degrees centigrade were obtained, is shown in the case of far blue wings of the first self-broadened potassium resonance lines.
