A Brayton Cycle system of gas turbines to generate electrical power and of heat exchangers to provide secondary preheat to combustion air is shown to recover a significant amount of waste heat from the flue gas of a regenerative, container-glass melting furnace. Potential materials problems with the systems have been considered, and a program to evaluate these problems is in progress. 24 refs.
