A further object is to provide. a. method of directing fiowof compressed 'air fromua heating device to either burner or set of burners'ina reversing type furnace and automatically maintaining continuousflow-of such fluid through the heating device duringchangeovers and there-' by preventing 'overheating of the heating device 1 A further object is to provide improved methods of atomizing liquid fuel in open hearth furnace burners in which preheated compressed air is used as the atomizing fluid, thereby enhancing furnace efficiency over that obtained with steam as atomizing fluid.
In accomplishingthese and other objects of the invention,-l have-provided improved details of structure,
a preferred form of which is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

When the "furnace is fired-.froin either burner, the appropriate valve is opened and directs'air to that burner.
The apparatus comprises a by-pass line 26' which discharges from pipe 21 into the atmosphere and which contains a' valve 27. This valve is of the normally open,

The bypass valve remains open until pressure is applied to the diaphragm of the other valve 24 or 25 to open this valve. At the same time pressure is applied automatically to the by-pass valve via line 35 or 36 and thus this valve closes, and circulation is resumed to one of the burners.
A preferred construction of heat exchanger 18 is shown in detail in Figures 2 to 5. The heat exchanger comprises an enclosure whose walls are formed of a heat insulation lining 37 supported by longitudinally extending channelshaped casing members 38. Pairs of end plates 39 are interposed between successive tiers of insulating material and casings (Figure A spacer 40 and a horizontal bafile 41 are interposed between each pair of end plates 39. The battles are supported cantilever fashion from the end plates and thus are free to expand and contract. The baffles. extend'alternately from opposite sides into the interior of the heat exchanger as best shown in Figure 3 anddefine a sinuous course for circulating waste products. of combustion from the furnace from which the heat is derived.
A fan 42 draws a portion of the products of combustion from furnace into the lower portion of heat exchanger 18 through an inlet 43. These productsof combustion pass through the heat exchanger in the course defined by baffies 41 and are expelled at the top through an outlet 44 into a stack 45 (Figure 1). The portion of such products which pass through the heat exchanger is governed by a damper 46 preferably located in outlet 44.
The compressed air is maintained at a substantially constant temperature, which may be controlled .by regulating damper 46. Line 21 contains a temperature indi flow indicating eating device 47 and line 17 contains a devices 48. Damper 46 is regulated in accordance with readings on these indicating devices to maintain a flow of products of combustion through the heat exchanger sufiicient to heat the air to just the desired temperature. Although the damper may be regulated manually, the apparatus preferably includes metering controls, connected to the temperature and flow indicating devices 47 and 48 but not shown, for regulating the damper automatically. Inasmuch as such controls are known and do not per se form a part of the present invention, no
more detailed description is deemed necessary.
The heat exchanger has a pair of manifolds 49 and 50, each of which is divided by partitions 51 and into a plurality of superposed compartments (Figure 4). The compartments on opposite manifolds are connected by U- shaped tubes 52, which extend between bafiles 41 into the path of circulation of the products of combustion. Un-
heated compressed air is introduced from line 17 to the top chamber of manifold 49, whence it passes through tubes 52 to the top chamber of manifold 50. Such air then returns to the second chamber of manifold 49 via the next set of tubes 52. Air circulation between the manifolds continues through the entire height of the manifolds and the heated air finally discharges from the bottom chamber of manifold 49 into line 21, be directed to either set of burners as already explained.
Figures 6 and 7 show a preferred construction of bypass valve 27. Said valve includes the usual body, stem and closures, which are not shown in detail, since they may be of any standard construction. The operating mechanism for this valve includes a pair of superposed flexible diaphragms 53 and 54 housed within the usual pressure chamber 55. A spring 56 normally urges the diaphragms to a retracted position against the back wall of the chamber and normally maintains the valve open. Air may be admitted to the space behind diaphragm 53 to close the valve, or air may be admitted to the space between the two diaphragms also to close the valve. The first of these spaces is connected to line 36 by a connection from which it may 57 in the back wall of the chamber. The second of these spaces is connected to line 35 by a connection 58 situ-.
ated in a spacer ring 59 between'the two diaphragms. The first space preferably has fillers 60 and the second fillers 61 to separate the diaphragms slightly from the end Wall and from each other when either is retracted. Thus it is seen that the by-pass valve is closed Whenever air is admitted behind either diaphragm on closing of either valve 24 or 25.
From the foregoing description, it is seen that I have provided an efficient method for introducing preheated compressed air to either burner'or set of burners in a reversing type furnace. The air is continuously heated by heat derived from waste products of combustion and circulation of air is automatically maintained at all times including during changeover periods. ThusI have provided a method in which there. is no likelihood ofparts being overheated by failure to maintain air circulation.
The present application is a division of my copending application Serial No. 148,619, filed March 9, 1950, (now Patent No. 2,660,419 issued November 24, 1953) which in turn was a continuation-in-part of my application Serial No. 47,034, filed August 31, 1948 (now Patent No. 2,587,153 issued February 26, 1952). A While I have shown and described only a single embodiment of the invention, it is apparent that modifications may arise.
