Abstract

A radiant tube to be heated by high-temperature gases supplied from its one end. The tube supplys a heat radiation by being thus heated. The gases used for the heating are discharged from the other end of the tube. Inside the tube a heat exchanger is provided in the proximity of the gas outlet of the tube so as to recover thermal energy from the used gases before they come out from the outlet.
