A blending chamber for blending fluids used to dry particulate matter has a chamber body with a first inlet opening, a second inlet opening, a third inlet opening, an outlet opening and a blending section. The blending section is arranged in a flow direction downstream of the first, second and third inlet openings, and upstream of the outlet opening. Fluids entering the first, second and third inlet openings are blended together in the blending section before exiting through the outlet opening. The bending chamber may be used to dry sawdust in a system that does not require a dedicated heat source.

[ We claim:] [9.]9. A particulate drying subsystem that uses recycled heat energy, comprising:a boiler that produces heat during operation;a blending chamber connected to the boiler, the blending chamber having at least a first fluid input and a second fluid input, the first fluid input being heated by the boiler and the second fluid input being ambient air from adjacent the blending chamber, wherein at least the first and second fluid inputs are blended together into an output flow within the blending chamber and output for drying particulates.
