Definitions

  • the present invention is of the field of heating techniques and relates to a method of the air feed and distribution in combustion chamber and boiler for central heating.
  • the boiler also supplies hot water for domestic purpose.
  • an incinerator of sectional structure which has an airpipe for sending combustion air into a furnace.
  • the airpipe is a straight pipe tapered off at end portion and closed by a plug.
  • the airpipe is also inserted into a furnace through a hole opened on an upper furnace wall.
  • the air is fed into an airpipe by a fan.
  • Combustion air spouts through the airpipe holes and burns fuel, in this case refuse (see patent EP 0636840A1 ).
  • This air feed and distribution in combustion chamber method and combustion device are suitable for safe and intensive refuse firing but it is not effective for long - duration economic fuel burning.
  • a burner for burning, granular, pellet or similarly sized solid heating fuel includes a retort in which solid fuel is ignited and burned.
  • a peripheral electrical igniter is included within the retort for initiating self-sustaining combustion of the solid fuel at its uppermost surface.
  • Combustion air is supplied centrally within the retort and is emitted radially outward for burning solid fuel evenly across its uppermost surface.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a method of air feed and distribution in a combustion chamber, which will allow simplifying construction of heating boiler.
  • the heating boiler comprises a combustion chamber, which a double wall has a reservoir filled with water to be heated, a smoke outlet opening, a fuel charging means, ash removal openings with door, a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the combustion chamber is installed vertically and is of the shape of a rounded or polygon cylinder, on the top of which there is a hole, with an air feeding tube able to slide freely up and down with an air distributor at the end of said tube resting on the fuel surface in the combustion chamber, wherein the air distributor is hollow and is of disc shape, on the upper zone of which there is a tip for its connection to the air feeding tube, and on the lower zone of which there is a cone head; On the peripheral zone of the air distributor, on the tip, at the narrow end of the cone head and at its sides there are holes, communicating with the internal cavity of the air distributor.
  • the said purpose is achieved by feeding air into the combustion chamber by a tube from above, the tube has an air distributor at the end, which rests on the fuel, moves down when fuel volume in the combustion chamber decreases and the air is distributed as following: 40 - 60 % is supplied into the combustion zone, 10 - 30 % - onto the edges of the combustion zone, 20 - 40 % - above the combustion zone.
  • the heating boiler comprises of the main parts as the following: combustion chamber 1, air feeding tube 2, air distributor 3, cover 4 and air transmission cylinder 5 connected to it, protective housing 6 and heat insulating wrap 7.
  • the combustion chamber 1 is of the shape of a vertical cylinder and has double wall, i.e. internal 8 and external 9. The reservoir in the wall is filled with water 10.
  • In the upper part of the combustion chamber 1 there is an opening of smoke outlet 11 and a fuel charge opening 12.
  • Fuel charge and ash removal openings 12 and 13 have doors respectively to 14 and 15.
  • the top of the combustion chamber 1 is covered with a cover 4 and a transmission cylinder 5 is inside upper part of the combustion chamber 1.
  • the bottom of the transmission cylinder 5 has a partition prolonging the path of smoke up to the outlet opening 11.
  • the air feeding tube 2 is of telescopic construction striving to decrease its length (a tube of a less diameter is put into another tube of a larger diameter and is able to slide freely inside this tube).
  • the air feeding tube 2 shown in the drawing consists of three tubes of different diameters.
  • the air feeding tube 2 is put into the inside of the combustion chamber 1 via the hole in the bottom of the transmission cylinder 5.
  • the air distributor 3 is hollow and of disc shape. On its upper zone there is a tip 18, and on the lower zone - a cone head 19.
  • the air distributor 3 On the peripheral zone of the air distributor 3, on the tip 18 and at the narrow end and sides of the cone head 19 there are holes respectively to 3a, 18a, 19a and 19b, communicating with the internal cavity of the air distributor.
  • the air distributor 3 is connected to the internal air feeding tube 2a via the tip 18.
  • To the internal air feeding tube 2a there is a thin rope 20 attached which is led out into the exterior of the heating boiler through the cover 4 and over pulleys 21 and 22.
  • the heating boiler is mounted on the foundation 24 produced of bricks or fireproofing concrete. The drawing does not show any water inlet and water outlet.
  • the preparation of the heating boiler for combustion is as the following.
  • the air distributor 3 with the air feeding tube 2 is drawn (lifted) to the bottom of the transmission cylinder 5.
  • the door 14 is opened, and through the fuel charge opening 12 fuel is charged into the combustion chamber 1 up to its top; on the top there is kindling put; when the rope 20 is released the air distributor 3 rests on the kindling and the top part of fuel.
  • the heating boiler functions as the following.
  • the door 14 and valve 23 are opened, the kindling is fired through the fuel charge opening 12 and the door 14 is closed. During the burning of fuel its volume in the combustion chamber 1 is decreasing and the combustion zone is getting (sliding) down.
  • the air with the help of the air distribution 3 is distributed so that one part of air is directly supplied into the combustion zone through the holes 19a and 19b, the second part is supplied onto the edges of the combustion zone through the hole 3a, and the third air part is supplied above the air distributor 3 through the hole 18a.
  • the air supplied into the combustion zone through the cone head 19 (holes 19a and 19b) is used in CO generation, the air supplied through the hole 3a, is partly used for CO generation and partly for CO combustion, and the air supplied in through the hole 18a is used for CO combustion.
  • Air fed to the combustion chamber is distributed as the following: 40-60% is supplied into the combustion zone, 10-30% is supplied onto the edges of the combustion zone, 20-40% above the combustion zone.
  • the heating boiler described above burns fire - wood and other wooden craps, e.g. sawdust.
  • the power of the heating boiler depends on the area of the combustion chamber cross - section, time of combustion - on the height of combustion chamber. Intensity of fuel combustion may be defined manually or by automatic monitoring of the draught gauge by opening or closing the valve 23.
  • the method for feeding and distributing air in a combustion chamber as proposedabove may be applied to heating equipment with various powers.
