An exhaust handling system comprising: an exhaust pipe having an exhaust outlet, said exhaust outlet having a nozzle arranged to vent exhaust gas; at least one acceleration jet arranged to project an air flow at a velocity head greater than that of the vented exhaust gas; wherein the at least one acceleration jet and exhaust outlet are positioned to project the air flow so as to impinge on a path of said vented exhaust gas, and consequently transfer velocity head to the vented exhaust gas.

A circulating fluidized bed boiler includes a rectangular furnace, which is horizontally enclosed by sidewalls, for combusting fuel and combustion gas and generating a stream of flue gas and particles. The sidewalls include first and second short sidewalls and first and second long sidewalls. Multiple particle separators are arranged on the side of each of the first and second long sidewalls for separating particles from the stream of flue gas and particles discharged from the furnace. Each of the particle separators includes a vertical gas outlet tube for discharging cleaned flue gas from the particle separator. A back pass arranged on the side of the second short sidewall of the furnace is horizontally enclosed by back pass walls. A horizontally extending cross over duct system is directly connected to the vertical gas outlet tubes of the particle separators for conducting the cleaned flue gas to the back pass.

An exhaust structure for combustion apparatus includes a combustion apparatus having a combustor unit, a blower unit and a housing, an exhaust tube connected to the combustion apparatus at one end, an exhaust pipe configured to allow a part of the exhaust pipe to be introduced therein from the other end, an exhaust adapter disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe and an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube, a connection pipe configured to communicate a region between the inner circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe and the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube to an inner space of the combustion apparatus, and an exhaust member connected between the combustion apparatus and the one end of the exhaust tube. The housing of the combustion apparatus is provided with a connection member for connecting the connection pipe.

Submerged combustion methods and systems including a melter equipped with an exhaust passage through the ceiling or the sidewall having an aggregate hydraulic diameter. Submerged combustion burners configured to create turbulent conditions in substantially all of the material being melted, and produce ejected portions of melted material. An exhaust structure including a liquid-cooled exhaust structure defining a liquid-cooled exhaust chamber having a cross-sectional area greater than that of the exhaust stack but less than the melter. The exhaust passage and liquid-cooled exhaust structure configured to maintain temperature and pressure of the exhaust, and exhaust velocity through the exhaust passage and the exhaust structure, at values sufficient to prevent the ejected material portions of melted material from being propelled out of the exhaust structure as solidified material, and maintain any molten materials contacting the first interior surface molten so that it flows down the first interior surface into the melter.

This disclosure relates generally to a system to dehumidify, alternately heat or cool a first space, and/or provide a controlled amount of CO.sub.2 to the first space. The system includes an indoor unit with a gas furnace with a first coil, and a second indoor coil. The first indoor coil and the second indoor coil are in fluid communication. A damper is in fluid communication with the exhaust for the gas furnace, for directing an amount of CO.sub.2 from the gas furnace to the first space. A control module is in electrical communication with the first indoor unit and the receptacle to control a position of the damper between an open position and a closed position, wherein the open position of the damper allows the amount of CO.sub.2 to be provided to the first space.
