OSTI ID:6653494

A heat recovery means in drying apparatus such as a kiln is described. The equipment consists of a heat exchanger located at the moist air outlet of the chamber of the drying apparatus for contact with exhaust moist air therefrom and a further heat exchanger located at the air inlet to the drying apparatus for contact of incoming air. The heat exchangers are connected in the circuit by pipework for the circulation of the refrigerant between them in conveying heat energy by vaporized refrigerant from the heat exchanger located at the moist air outlet to that located at the inlet for transfer of said heat energy on condensation of the refrigerant to air entering the inlet.
