We consider the process of multistage technological recirculation of aspiration air into transfer chutes, i.e., the return of aspirated air from the shelters of the technological equipment back to the technological process with an aim to reduce energy losses by creating aerodynamic drag in the path of motion of ejection air and maintaining the required values of thermal parameters in the equipment. It is recommended to equip the chutes with single-stage recirculation seals with minimum possible angles of air feed against the flow ejected by the reloaded bulk material, which would increase the energy efficiency of ventilation systems and decrease the amount of harmful substances ejected into the atmosphere.
