METHODS OR APPARATUS FOR COMBUSTION USING ONLY SOLID FUEL

Scope Notes

Glossary: air a mixture of gases containing free oxygen and able to promote or support combustion primary air air supplied to the burning fuel in order to liberate combustible gases secondary air air supplied to the combustible gases liberated by the primary air in order to complete their combustion. The term "secondary air" covers "tertiary air" etc. ash means any solid combustion residues, for example remaining in the fuel bed or suspended in the flue gases Burner burners a device by which fluid fuel or solid fuel suspended in air is passed to a combustion space where it burns to produce a self-supporting flame Combustion a heat-producing sequence of chemical reactions between a burnable substance and molecular oxygen, e.g. in air, in most cases generating light in the form of flames or a glow combustion chamber combustion chambers a chamber in which fuel is burned to establish a self-supporting fire or flame and which surrounds that fire or flame combustion zone the part of the apparatus where the reaction takes place between air and fuel flue gases any gaseous products of combustion grate Grates a perforated surface (e.g. a grid) which supports or delimits a bed of burning fuel and serves to supply primary air | Limiting references: Combustion of both solid fuel and fluid fuel, simultaneously or alternately , Combustion of solid fuel suspended in a stream of air, e.g. combustion in fluidised beds or combustion of pulverised fuel using burners where the fuel is transported into the combustion chamber by an air stream , Combustion of solid fuel suspended in a liquid, e.g. combustion of coal-water slurry , Combustion of fuels that are solid at room temperatures, but burned in melted form, e.g. candle wax , , | Application references: Baking ovens Cooking apparatus Lighting Generating steam Combustion specially adapted for waste or low grade fuel Generating combustion products of high temperature or high pressure Domestic stoves or ranges for cooking or local heating , Domestic heating systems or space-heating systems Heating of fluids, e.g. air or water Drying Heat treatment of material or articles
