High efficiency, thermal regeneration anti-pollution system

Claim 1

APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING OF AN INDUSTRIAL EXHAUST GAS FLOW OR THE LIKE COMPRISING: A. A CENTRALLY DISPOSED CHAMBER IN WHICH A HIGH TEMPERATURE RANGE IS MAINTAINED, B. AT LEAST THREE SEPARATE, SPACED HEAT-EXCHANGE BEDS DISPOSED SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIANGULARLY AROUND AND PROTRUDING FROM THE PERIPHERY OF SAID CHAMBER, EACH BED CONTAINING RANDOMLY DISPOSED PACKING COMPRISED OF A PLURALITY OF SOLID HEAT EXCHANGE ELEMENTS, SAID BEDS BEING BOUNDED BY VERTICAL NON-PARALLEL WALLS, C. A PLURALITY OF INLET MEANS, EACH BEING COUPLED TO ONE OF SAID BEDS, FOR CONDUCTING SAID GAS FLOW TO SAID BED FOR PASSAGE THROUGH IT INTO SAID CHAMBER D. A PLURALITY OF OUTLET MEANS, EACH COUPLED TO ONE OF SAID BEDS, FOR CONDUCTING SAID GAS FLOW AWAY FROM SAID BED AFTER THE GAS FLOW HAS PASSED OUTWARDLY THROUGH SAID BED FROM SAID CENTRAL CHAMBER, AND E. FUELED HEATING MEANS WITHIN SAID CHAMBER FOR CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING OR MAINTAINING SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE RANGE, SAID TEMPERATURE RANGE BEING CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF THE GAS FLOW AS IT FIRST IS APPLIED TO THE APPARTUS AND SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO CAUSE CONTINUOUS THERMAL OXIDATION OF SAID GAS FLOW.
