Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for cleaning products created during a combustion process and to a combustion device with an installation for performing this method.
- the gases released in a combustion process are for a significant part harmful to people and the environment.
- the gaseous combustion products consist particularly of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbons (C x H y ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ).
- solid combustion products are formed such as ash and residues which are carried along with the flue gas flow into the atmosphere.
- unburnt hydrocarbons particularly the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
- the invention has for its object to provide a cleaning method whereby the emission of harmful gases by combustion devices, including wood-burning stoves, is limited as far as possible. This is achieved according to the invention by admixing air to the combustion products and removing by after-burning remnants of harmful substances still present in the combustion products. Because the harmful gases are in this way burnt and converted into harmless compositions, very high combustion temperatures or costly after-treatments of the combustion gases, such as filtering thereof, can be dispensed with. The combustion process is moreover enhanced by after-burning as opposed to filtering, so that the efficiency of the process increases. Because the combustion temperature is not increased no great discharge losses occur.
- the invention also relates to an installation for performing the above described method.
- Such an installation can be applied in a combustion device which is provided with at least one combustion chamber, at least one opening connected to the combustion chamber for drawing in ambient air and at least one opening connected to the combustion chamber for discharging combustion products to the environment.

- Preferred embodiments of the combustion device according to the invention form the subject-matter of the dependent claims 7-14.
- the combustion process of a solid fuel such as wood comprises four phases. At a relatively low temperature of about 100°C the wood begins to dry through evaporation of the moisture still present therein. At higher temperatures of about 150 to 350°C degassing or pyrolysis of the wood then occurs. The chemical structure of the wood is herein broken down with formation of volatile compounds such as CO, H2O, CH4 and lower hydrocarbons as well as tar-like components which are volatile at decomposition temperature but which condense at lower temperature. When the temperature is increased still further to about 550°C and oxygen is added the volatile compounds resulting from the pyrolysis burn. The remaining solid component consists of almost pure carbon and burns at a temperature of roughly 800°C when oxygen is added.

- the through-flow openings 15 in the ash-pan 25 are provided with slidable valves 16.
- the main feed opening 3 is also provided with a closing valve 26 which is opened by the air flow and closed by the force of gravity.
- This cleaning installation comprises a feed duct 18 which is formed by the rear wall 19 of the combustion chamber 4 and the middle wall 8 of housing 2 and which runs out into a part 20 which is arranged overhanging the combustion chamber 4 and which is provided with an outflow grid 21.
- the feed duct 18 is connected by means of a number of tubes 14 of the heat exchanger 13 to the suction opening 10 for secondary air.
- a portion of the secondary air drawn in by the fan 11 is therefore guided as according to arrow S4 through the lower tubes 14 of heat exchanger 13 in the direction of the front part of combustion device 1 and then returns as according to arrow S5 through the upper tubes 14 of heat exchanger 13 to the feed duct 18 in order finally to be admixed from the top as according to arrow S6 in counterflow to the combustion products which under the influence of the heat in the combustion chamber 4 rise in the direction of discharge opening 5.
- the admixed air brings about after-burning of the products present in combustion chamber 4, whereby remnants of harmful substances which may be present therein are burnt and converted into less harmful compounds.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a method for cleaning products created during a combustion process and to a combustion device with an installation for performing this method.
- It is meanwhile generally known that the gases released in a combustion process are for a significant part harmful to people and the environment. In combustion processes wherein solid fuels such as wood are used, the gaseous combustion products consist particularly of carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbons (CxHy) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In addition, solid combustion products are formed such as ash and residues which are carried along with the flue gas flow into the atmosphere. Of the stated products, attention is currently focussed on the unburnt hydrocarbons, particularly the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
- Different methods have been tested to reduce the emission of harmful combustion products. A possible solution is to increase the combustion temperature, whereby a more complete combustion is achieved. The efficiency of the combustion process is however adversely affected hereby as a result of greater losses in the discharge. Another applied cleaning method makes use of filtering of the combustion gases before they are blown into the atmosphere. This however results in an increase in the resistance in the discharge, which has an adverse effect on the combustion.
- The invention has for its object to provide a cleaning method whereby the emission of harmful gases by combustion devices, including wood-burning stoves, is limited as far as possible. This is achieved according to the invention by admixing air to the combustion products and removing by after-burning remnants of harmful substances still present in the combustion products. Because the harmful gases are in this way burnt and converted into harmless compositions, very high combustion temperatures or costly after-treatments of the combustion gases, such as filtering thereof, can be dispensed with. The combustion process is moreover enhanced by after-burning as opposed to filtering, so that the efficiency of the process increases. Because the combustion temperature is not increased no great discharge losses occur.
- Preferably applied variants of the method according to the invention are described in the dependent claims 2-5.
- The invention also relates to an installation for performing the above described method. Such an installation can be applied in a combustion device which is provided with at least one combustion chamber, at least one opening connected to the combustion chamber for drawing in ambient air and at least one opening connected to the combustion chamber for discharging combustion products to the environment. The cleaning of the combustion products is achieved in such a combustion device according to the invention by at least one installation for cleaning the combustion products connected to the combustion device, which cleaning installation has means arranged between the combustion chamber and the discharge opening for admixing air to the combustion products for the purpose of after-burning the products. By adding such an after-burner installation the emission of harmful gases by the combustion device is considerably limited, without the operation of the combustion device being adversely affected.
- Preferred embodiments of the combustion device according to the invention form the subject-matter of the dependent claims 7-14.
- The invention is now elucidated with reference to two embodiments, wherein reference is made to the annexed drawing, in which:
- Fig. 1 shows a partly cut away perspective view of a first embodiment of the invention; and
- Fig. 2 shows a partly cut away perspective view of a second embodiment of the invention.
- The combustion process of a solid fuel such as wood comprises four phases. At a relatively low temperature of about 100°C the wood begins to dry through evaporation of the moisture still present therein. At higher temperatures of about 150 to 350°C degassing or pyrolysis of the wood then occurs. The chemical structure of the wood is herein broken down with formation of volatile compounds such as CO, H₂O, CH₄ and lower hydrocarbons as well as tar-like components which are volatile at decomposition temperature but which condense at lower temperature. When the temperature is increased still further to about 550°C and oxygen is added the volatile compounds resulting from the pyrolysis burn. The remaining solid component consists of almost pure carbon and burns at a temperature of roughly 800°C when oxygen is added.
- A combustion device 1 (fig. 1) comprises a housing 2 in which is defined a
combustion chamber 4. The latter is joined to the environment by anopening 3 for feed of ambient air P1 and an opening 5 for discharge of the combustion products E into the environment. Formed between theair feed opening 3 and thecombustion chamber 4 is an air feed duct through which the ambient air or primary air for combustion can reach thecombustion chamber 4 as according to arrows P1, P2 and P3 throughopenings 16 in a removable ash-pan 25 arranged undercombustion chamber 4 and through apipe heat exchanger 13 and agrid 17 arranged above the ash-pan 25. Fuel can further be added to thecombustion chamber 4, for instance in the form of logs. It is of course also possible for another fuel, for instance gas, to be fed to thecombustion chamber 4. - On its side facing the room area for heating the
combustion chamber 4 is closed off by one ormore window panels 6. Heating of the room area therein takes place by means of heat radiation through the window panel(s) 6. In order to increase the heat transfer to the area for heating the housing 2 of thecombustion device 1 takes a double-walled form, wherein between anouter wall 7 and amiddle wall 8 of housing 2 a duct 9 is defined through which so-called secondary air can flow as according to arrows S1, S2 and S3. This secondary air is drawn in through anaperture 10, wherein suction can take place in natural manner or can be supported by a fan 11. The sucked in air is guided round through the duct 9 and along the top of thecombustion chamber 4 and the outlet duct 5 and thereby heated, and flows finally through a number ofoutflow openings 12 into the room area for heating, where the secondary air functions as source of convection heating. The generated heat can be adjusted by controlling the feed of primary air to the combustion process. For this purpose the through-flow openings 15 in the ash-pan 25 are provided withslidable valves 16. Themain feed opening 3 is also provided with aclosing valve 26 which is opened by the air flow and closed by the force of gravity. - In order to clean the gases created in
chamber 4 during combustion a cleaning installation is connected to thecombustion device 1. This cleaning installation comprises afeed duct 18 which is formed by therear wall 19 of thecombustion chamber 4 and themiddle wall 8 of housing 2 and which runs out into apart 20 which is arranged overhanging thecombustion chamber 4 and which is provided with anoutflow grid 21. Thefeed duct 18 is connected by means of a number oftubes 14 of theheat exchanger 13 to the suction opening 10 for secondary air. A portion of the secondary air drawn in by the fan 11 is therefore guided as according to arrow S4 through thelower tubes 14 ofheat exchanger 13 in the direction of the front part ofcombustion device 1 and then returns as according to arrow S5 through theupper tubes 14 ofheat exchanger 13 to thefeed duct 18 in order finally to be admixed from the top as according to arrow S6 in counterflow to the combustion products which under the influence of the heat in thecombustion chamber 4 rise in the direction of discharge opening 5. The admixed air brings about after-burning of the products present incombustion chamber 4, whereby remnants of harmful substances which may be present therein are burnt and converted into less harmful compounds. The thus cleaned combustion gases finally leavecombustion chamber 4 along a path defined by acover plate 22 and flow into the environment through discharge duct 5. - As a result of the after-burning of the combustion products these latter are not only cleaned, but the energy efficiency of the combustion device also increases in comparison with the situation where no after-burning takes place. This is because fuel particles burnt during the normal combustion process are also converted into heat during the after-burning. The heater with after-burner can therefore be operated with less fuel than conventional heaters, whereby the emission of harmful substances is reduced still further.
- In order to prevent the window panel(s) 6 of
combustion device 1 being excessively dirtied by soot particles released during combustion, the combustion device is further provided withair feed channels - In an alternative embodiment of the combustion device 1 (fig. 2) the
main feed opening 3 is provided with a valve 26' which can be opened and closed by means of adrive 27 under control of acontroller 34. Themain feed opening 3 is further connected over a duct 35 to the space 36 under the actual burning location 37. In duct 35 is further arranged a fan 38, the operation of which is likewise controlled by thecontroller 34. The feed of primary combustion air tocombustion chamber 4 can thus be adapted to the progress of the combustion process. This is detected by sensors 28 arranged incombustion chamber 4. The valve 26' is only opened by the controller when a fresh quantity of fuel is placed incombustion chamber 4, in order to initiate the combustion process and to compensate the oxygen deficit which occurs as a result of a rapid degassing in the initial phase of the combustion process. Herein the fan 38 is then also switched on as required. At the end of the combustion process extra oxygen is again required for good combustion of the remaining solid carbon. During the combustion process, however, valve 26' can otherwise be closed and fan 38 switched off. The combustion process is then sustained by the secondary air which flows into the combustion chamber as according to arrows S6 and S9. - In this embodiment the secondary air is not guided through beneath the burning location through a tube heat exchanger but carried round the burning location 37 via a bypass duct 39 as indicated by arrows S4 and S5, which burning location consists of a number of solid rods. In order to nevertheless optimally preheat this secondary air an
additional heat exchanger 29 is arranged in thebypass duct 18 running behind thecombustion chamber 4. This heat exchanger is formed by a number of parallel heating ribs 30 protruding intoduct 18 and connected to a plate 31 let into therear wall 19 ofcombustion chamber 4. Plate 31 and ribs 30 are herein preferably formed integrally, for example as casting of aluminium or another metal which conducts well. - In the second embodiment the part 20' of the cleaning installation protruding above
combustion chamber 4 extends further than in the first embodiment. The combustion gases must hereby cover a longer path from thecombustion chamber 4 to the discharge opening 5, whereby a better mixing and after-burning is obtained. The outflow apertures 21' are moreover further removed from therear wall 19 than in-the first embodiment. Thus achieved is that the secondary air flow S6 is directed practically perpendicularly of the flow of combustion gases, which enhances after-burning. This is further enhanced in that the angle between the protrudingpart 20 and therear wall 19 is almost a right angle (in the embodiment shown 95°). - Additionally arranged in the
front wall 41 of the protruding part 20' areextra outflow apertures 42 through which the secondary air flow S9 likewise exits in perpendicular direction of the flue gas flow. In order to prolong the time the combustion gases stay in thedevice 1 and thereby improve efficiency, a further C-shaped baffle 32 is arranged in front of the discharge opening 5 above the protrudingpart 20 of the cleaning installation. This causes additional whirls in the outflowing combustion gases. In order to improve the heat transfer from the combustion gases to the secondary air S3 flowing to the space for heating, awall 33 between the secondary air duct 8' and the upper part of thecombustion chamber 4 takes a corrugated form. This also prolongs the time the combustion gases stay at the top of thecombustion chamber 4. - The intensity of the combustion process can be controlled not only by regulating the feed of primary and secondary air but also by regulating the discharge of the combustion gases, or the "draught". Arranged for this purpose in the discharge duct 5 is a displaceable closing slide 43 which can be operated via a control rod 44 protruding at the front from the
combustion device 1. - The
controller 34 can also be connected to acontrol panel 45 arranged on the outside ofcombustion device 1 for entering a control program or manual entering of operating commands. - Although the cleaning installation is described here in relation to a heater, in particular a wood-burning stove, it will be apparent that the principle of cleaning combustion gases by admixing clean air and after-burning the combustion gases is applicable in any random combustion process, and such a cleaning installation can thus be coupled to any random combustion device.
