Abstract
A process and apparatus for removing moisture from smoke produced in a chemical reaction, such as a combustion reaction, by circulating outside air in heat-exchange relationship with smoke at a point near the chamber where the smoke is produced, thereby heating the air and cooling and partially dehydrating the smoke. A portion of the air which is thus heated is passed in further heat-exchange relationship with smoke and is then directed toward a smoke discharge stack where it is mixed with the partially dehydrated smoke.
