ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a device for use with oil or gas fired furnaces in buildings and more particularly homes to enchance heat efficiency, the device being adapted for installation in an air supply leading from outside the building to the furnace cold air return so that outside air passes through the device, the device including a cylindrical inlet portion, means of defining a chamber attached to the downstream end of the inlet portion and having an internal cross section larger than that of the inlet portion, a frustro-conical section coupled to the chamber means remote from the inlet portion for carrying air from the chamber towards the furnace and converging towards the furnace, a valve assembly to adjust air flow and a baffle plate fixedly positioned at the junction of the chamber means and the frustro-conical section to combine with the valve assembly to inhibit sudden air flow changes caused by pressure fluctuations.
