The cylinder in this chamber revolves 65 times per minute, whenin action. The velocity imparted to it must of course be commen-surate with the quantity of gases evolved from the furnace. The bottom of the chamber slopes from all sides to the discharge-valve, TI, through which the accumulated dust is drawn off everytwenty-four hours into settling tanks outside of the furnace these the clear water is drawn off every twelve hours.
