A system for recovering the waste heat normally exhausted into the atmosphere by chemical or other processing plants. The invented system comprises a substantially self-contained apparatus for receiving hot exhaust gases and extracting the waste heat therefrom for some beneficial use, such as pre-heating inlet air in an inlet plenum. The system may include temperature and pressure controls which enhance the safety and efficiency of the system's operation, and further may include flow controls in a multiple burner installation so that the desired fuel air ratios and heat distribution may be achieved. By building the present invention as a substantially self-contained and self-supporting assembly, on site installation time and the required alteration of pre-existing on site equipment may be minimized, thereby affecting substantial economic savings by minimizing the resulting down time of the processing plant. Embodiments for a single burner nest heater, multiple nest cabins and grade level stack systems are disclosed.

165 1

A system for recovering the waste heat normally exhausted into the atmosphere by chemical or other processing plants. The invented system comprises a heat exchange apparatus located in the exhaust stack or flue passage, heat transfer means for carrying the waste heat absorbed from the exhaust gases to a location remote therefrom, and a second heat exchange apparatus for releasing the transferred waste heat for beneficial use at said remote location. The present invention also includes temperature and pressure control means which enhance the safety and efficiency of the system's operation. The heat transfer means disclosed in this invention is a high temperature liquid (and associated pumping and piping means) capable of withstanding temperature up to 900 F. without flashing, changing state, or corroding the heat exchange apparatuses.
