[Class 51 (ii)] Combustion products flowing upwardly from a burner or burners in the base of a heating chamber of a retort or muffle furnace are caused to divide into two complementary currents which proceed symmetrically in relation to a vertical axis and are reunited in a central passage. In one form, Fig. 1, the flames and combustion products from a burner 3 are caused to divide into two streams and flow through passages 6 and 9, defined by partitions 5, 7 and 8, to openings 20 and 24 in a horizontal partition 2, the opening 20 being controlled by a damper 21 and the entrances to the passages by a movable block 17. The pocket 10 below the partition 8 may communicate directly with the passage 9 through an opening 11 controlled by a damper 12. The two streams of gas then flow upwardly and downwardly through passages 26, 261 and 27, 271 respectively and are then reunited in a central passage 28 below the entrance to which is arranged a movable damper 29 of chevron form. These passages are defined by apertured partitions 25. The gases then flow through an opening 33 in a horizontal partition 32 to a horizontal passage 34 which communicates through an opening 36 and an opening 37 controlled by a damper 38 with a second horizontal passage 35, the gases finally escaping through an opening 42 controlled by a damper 43 to a waste gas collector 41. Auxiliary air may be admitted through an opening controlled by a damper 481 and flows through passages 461, 471 to openings 46, 47 in the partition 32. The various dampers may be rendered accessible for adjustment purposes by the removal of plugs 19, 141, 23, 40 and 45 in the front wall of the chamber, and plugs 14 and 31 in the partitions. The initial regulation of the flow in the passages 6 and 9 may be effected either by moving the block 17 or replacing it by a similar block of different dimensions. The auxiliary air may be supplied from a recuperator at the rear of the chamber. In a second form, Fig. 2, both openings 20 and 24 are controlled by dampers 21, and the gases issuing from these openings flow in the paths indicated by the arrows to a central passage 55 below the entrance to which is arranged a movable damper 29. The gases are then forced to redivide into two streams and flow from openings 61, 61<SP>1</SP> to a second central passage 64 which also has a damper 29 below its entrance. A direct passage for the flow of gases along the front wall of the chamber may be established by means of openings 65 controlled by dampers 66. Auxiliary air is supplied through an opening 69. Fig. 3 shows a similar construction in which the gases are caused to divide three times and are reunited in central passages 55, 71 and 75, the auxiliary air being supplied through passages 461, 471.
