In an attempt to eliminate the smoke nuisance created by operating a brick plant within the limits of a city, a successful smoke eliminator and a waste‐heat drying system involving recuperation were developed after some experimenting on old and new methods. The construction and arrangement of the recuperator is described as follows: A complete double‐deck duct system was built carrying the combustion gases in the lower half and the waste heat in the upper half. In this system a damper chamber is constructed a t each kiln where the outlet flue leaves the kiln. The kiln outlet flue enters this chamber on the one side and the gas and waste‐heat ducts one above the other leave on the other side. Both of these ducts are fitted with dampers. The construction of these chambers and the main duct is described. The advantages, limitations, and cost of this system are discussed.
