  • the power consumption in continuous operation including the fuel supply is, for example, a maximum of 150W.
  • a pellet storage container of about 120I content may be provided.
  • Suitable fuels are different types of wood pellets, premium wood chips, Rapspress residues, olive groats, fruit pomace, pressed grasses and other pressed biological material.
  • incineration must comply with the respective national emission limit values for domestic fires. In particular, this concerns limits for total dust, NOx and CO emissions. Furthermore, the device according to the invention must comply with the national safety regulations for burners or boilers.
  • the control of the conveying speed of the burner screw is clocking and depending on the desired heating power.
  • the residual ash and slag residues are transported by the screw into a container.
  • the screw causes the residual discharge of these residues from the guide tube, so that in the combustion area, the primary air supply and the combustion process are not hindered.
  • the heat exchanger is designed in a steel construction to heat the heat carrier for heating purposes.
  • the heat emission of the combustion gas to the heat carrier takes place for example via cylindrical tubes.
  • inserts To increase the heat transfer and to achieve a compact design can be provided in the heat exchanger tubes inserts. These inserts become movable to mechanically clean the heat exchanger tubes.
  • a further object is to provide a mechanism for controlling the inserts for partial closure of heat exchanger tubes for equalizing the combustion side heat exchanger surfaces to the heating capacity at part load operation. In this case, the exhaust gas temperature can be controlled so that it is over 140 °, whereby conventional chimneys can be used.
  • the combustion gas supply and the combustion air supply can be done by means of speed-controlled induced draft blowers.
  • the combustion control is performance-dependent by controlling the clock speed of the drive of the burner screw and synchronously by controlling the amount of combustion air on the speed control of the induced draft fan.
  • Control criteria are, for example, the power requirement and the desired / required residence time of the fuel in the combustion chamber.
  • the control of dividing the amount of combustion air into the primary air amount and the secondary air amount may be selected, for example, to minimize NOx emissions to below 100mg / MJ fuel power and dust emissions below 35mg / MJ fuel power in the power range from 10kW to about 30kW for pellet wood fuels.
  • Drying of the fuel takes place at a temperature of up to 150 ° C.
  • components of the fuel such as lignin or cellulose are gasified. This gas ignites as soon as secondary air is supplied, with the flame at about 230-280 ° C.
  • the vaporization of the gaseous constituents of the fuel takes place at about 500-900 ° C.
  • the temperatures in the primary combustion chamber may be, for example, 700-900 ° C.
  • the temperatures in the secondary combustion chamber may be, for example, 900-1200 ° C.
  • two parallel or counter-rotating conveying means in particular screw conveyors, can be used to improve the conveying capacity and the conveying quality.
