[Also in Division F4] A heat insulating structure comprises a wall member 35, Fig. 2, extending substantially perpendicularly to the direction of heat transfer from a hotter space 31 to a colder space 32, each part of the wall member being permeable to a gas flow directed perpendicularly thereto, supply passage means 36 to supply gas to a first side of the wall member and an exit passage 37 to conduct gas away from the opposite side of the wall member and having a wall 33 parallel to this opposite side. The inside surfaces of the outer walls 34, 33 may be of heat reflecting material, such as metal foil, and to prevent condensation on the warmer side of the structure, a further wall may be used to form a further space through which warm air is circulated. The wall 35 may be of rock or slag wool or of glass fibre and it may be bonded to perforated facings of metal paper or plastic. Alternatively, the wall may be formed by corrugated metal, paper or plastics material. The air which has passed through the structure may be used for combustion or for air conditioning of buildings. In Fig. 5, the structure surrounds a smoke pipe 8 and serves to preheat the air supply to a boiler. When the furnace has started and the temperature increases in the lowermost part of the remote pipe, valves 28 are closed automatically to create a longer preheating path for the air. A simplified construction is described in which the wall containing the valves is omitted. The structure may also be extended downwardly to enclose the boiler as well as the smoke pipe. Fig. 6 shows a cross-section through a chimney construction in which the structure surrounds the flue 8 and a combustion air intake 9 which receives warmed air from the ventilation shafts 29 of the building in which the chimney is located. The structure described may also be used in connection with blast furnaces and with lime and cement kilns.
