Abstract:
A mixing chamber assembly for mixing burner output with kiln return air. A first vertical duct that receives kiln return air from the first return duct when the kiln is operated in a first mode and receives kiln return air from the second return duct when the kiln is operated in a second mode. A second vertical duct in fluid communication with the first vertical duct so that the kiln return air enters the first vertical duct, travels upward, and changes direction to then travel downward in the second vertical duct to pass downward into a dispersion chamber to provide downward movement of the kiln return air. The dispersion chamber having a hot duct discharge to convey burner output laterally above a delay table surface. The downward movement of the kiln return air colliding with the burner output to provide mixing of the kiln return air with the burner output.

Claim (Index 11):
A mixing chamber assembly to foster air stream collisions to promote mixing, the mixing chamber assembly comprising:\n a mixing chamber outlet at one end; and a hot duct discharge at the opposite end, the hot duct discharge positioned relative to a flat surface so that burner output from a burner in fluid communication with the hot duct discharge leaves the hot duct discharge and the burner output flowing adjacent to the flat surface; and a kiln return air supply positioned to deliver kiln return air perpendicular to the burner output flowing adjacent to the flat surface so that the kiln return air collides with the burner output which is constrained by the flat surface which is adjacent to the burner output, the collision promoting mixing of the kiln return air and the burner output.
