Abstract
A heat recycling apparatus operatively connected to a hot air chamber having an exhaust pipe and an intake. The apparatus includes an intake conduit having one end in which there is an opening. A peripheral edge surrounds the opening. The exhaust pipe has an aperture therein through which the one end of the intake conduit extends into the exhaust pipe. The peripheral edge is generally perpendicularly disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis of the exhaust pipe. The opening has an area of between approximately 30% and approximately 65% of the area of the exhaust pipe. A portion of the peripheral edge is contiguous with the wall of the exhaust pipe. The other end of the intake conduit is connected to the hot air chamber.
Claims8
A heat recycling apparatus operatively connected to a hot air chamber having an exhaust pipe, said apparatus comprising:
- an intake conduit having opposite ends, one of said conduit ends having an opening surrounded by a peripheral edge, said exhaust pipe having an aperture therein, said one intake conduit end extending into said exhaust pipe through said aperture, said opening having an area of between approximately 30% and approximately 65% of the cross-sectional area of said exhaust pipe, said peripheral edge being disposed tangent to said exhaust pipe and in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said exhaust pipe passing through the most upstream point of said aperture thereby minimizing dead air space at the junction of said intake conduit and said exhaust pipe;
- the other of said conduit ends being connected to said hot air chamber, thereby providing recycled exhaust air to said hot air chamber without excessive lint accumulation.
An adjustable heat recycling apparatus detachably connected to a drying apparatus for recycling exhaust air from a drying chamber back through the drying chamber, the drying apparatus having a hot air chamber and an exhaust pipe, the apparatus comprising:
- an intake conduit having opposite ends, one of said conduit ends having an opening surrounded by a peripheral edge, said exhaust pipe having an aperture in the wall thereof, said one intake conduit end extending into said exhaust pipe through said aperture said peripheral edge being disposed tangent to said exhaust pipe and in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said exhaust pipe passing through the most upstream point of said aperture, the other of said conduit ends being connected to said hot air chamber, thereby providing recycled exhaust air to said hot air chamber without excessive lint accumulation.
