chambers situated in each mangle unit, the first flow chamber of the heat exchanger being connected at one end to the mangle cylinder and connected at the other end to the exhaust device through the exhaust air channel, the second flow chamber being connected to the air supply device and forming a continuous fresh air supply channel. The air providing device of the air supply device terminates adjacent to the mangle cylinder so that the fresh air is continuously heated and supplied to the mangle unit to dry laundry pieces.

Apparatus for extracting and analyzing dustladen gas samples and in which a gas extraction connection is constructed in the form of a stilling chamber leading to an analyzer via a three-way valve to which is connected a cleansing air connection. A time control device periodically interrupts the flow of gas to the analyzer and directs cleansing air of the extraction connection.

cludes a convection heat transfer chamber, a boiler tank, and a plurality of heat pipes thermally interconnecting the convection heat transfer chamber with the boiler tank. Each of the heat pipes includes an evaporator section which is disposed in heat transfer relation with a stream of heated gas flowing through the convection heat transfer chamber, and a condenser section disposed in heat transfer relation with a volume of water contained within the boiler tank. The boiler tank is provided with a header plate having an array of heat pipe openings through which the heat pipes project. A heat pipe support sleeve is received in each heat pipe opening in sealed engagement with the header plate, with the heat pipes projecting through the support sleeves and thermally interconnecting the convection heat transfer chamber with the boiler tank. An intermediate portion of each heat pipe is received in sealed engagement with its associated support sleeve. In a preferred embodiment, heat transfer through the support sleeve is minimized in an arrangement in which each heat pipe opening is reduced by a stepped bore with the support sleeve connected in threaded, sealed engagement with the stepped bore. Furthermore, in this arrangement, the support sleeve has swaged end portions which project beyond the header plate and engage the heat pipe on opposite sides at points which are remote with respect to the support sleeve/header plate interface. One of the swaged end portions is sealed against the heat pipe in a fluid-tight union within the boiler tank. The support sleeve is radially spaced with respect to the heat pipe and is also radially spaced with respect to the heat pipe opening whereby heat transfer through the walls of the heat pipe to the support sleeve and to the header plate is minimized by concentric annular air gaps.
