with said wall means being at least partially comprised of a heat resistant material;
first and second path means through which said fluid passes, each of said path means comprising an inlet means for said fluid, an outlet means for said fluid and a pipe means extending between said inlet and output means;
with each of said path means passing at least partially through each of said chambers, and valve means for diversion of said fluid to either first or second of said path means for the passage of said fluid therethrough;
