Abstract
A regenerative heat exchange system comprises a multiplicity of refractory members laid in adjacent parallel rows to form one course in the system, each refractory member being so shaped such that the adjacent refractory members of one row co-operate to form a gas passageway or duct through that first course, the refractory members of an adjacent course being similarly arranged in parallel rows with the refractory members turned through 90.degree. with respect to the refractory members of the first row and being offset therefrom, the adjacent members in each row in the second course again cooperating to form a gas passageway or duct through the adjacent course, each gas passageway or duct in the adjacent course constituting a continuation of a respective gas passageway or duct in the said one course.
Claims5
A regenerative heat exchange system comprising a multiplicity of refractory members laid in adjacent parallel rows to form one course in the system, each refractory member being so shaped as to provide a central generally web-like portion with flanges towards each end of the generally web-like portion extending to both sides, such that when the refractory members are laid, the flanges on adjacent refractory members abut to form a gas passageway or duct through that first course, the refractory members of an adjacent course being similarly shaped and arranged in parallel rows with the refractory members turned through 90.degree. with respect to the refractory members of the first row and being off-set therefrom, the flanges of adjacent members in each row in the said second course again abutting to form a gas passageway or duct through the adjacent course, each gas passageway or duct in the adjacent course constituting a continuation of a respective gas passageway or duct in the said one course.
