The products of this combustion,after delivering their waste-heat to a fire-brick heater, escape to thestack. After the temperature of the fuel in the recuperator Rj hasfallen to the lowest permissible limit, the alternate recuperator Rg isbrought into service by shutting off its connection with the blastand stack and opening the valves V
