Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to the technical field of biomass heating systems, or of systems of heating and for the production of heat that use energy sources and fuels of vegetable origin such as wood chips and the like, and more particularly its object is a new biomass stove, typically employing pellets as fuel, which has innovative features and superior performance, such as automatic operation, with respect to similar biomass stoves currently in use and offered on the market.
  • Biomass stoves have been known for some time and are widely available on the market, i.e. apt to be fed and to burn material, such as pellets, of vegetable origin and therefore of biological type.
  • a typical biomass stove is essentially constituted by a heat generator in which a flame is produced by the combustion of a biomass, so as to generate heat to be diffused in the environment in which the stove is located.
  • the type of biomass stove to which the present invention applies comprises in particular a double-walled cylinder, the dimensions of which are variable as a function of the heat generator and therefore of its power, that is the capacity of the stove for generating heat, which extends along a vertical axis and is fully closed in the lower part and partially closed in the upper part so as to form between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, of the double-walled cylinder, a cavity or air chamber.
  • the outer cylinder of the double-walled cylinder also has in the lower part a series of holes, in order to allow the entrance, from the external environment, of a primary flow of combustion air that flows and rises in the air chamber in a natural way, substantially by convection, until exiting through a series of combustion holes that are formed in the upper part of the inner cylinder.
  • a mobile grate with adjustable height is positioned inside the double-walled cylinder, above the level of the holes for the primary air inflow, and has the function of receiving the biomass that is loaded in the stove to be burnt and to support it during its entire combustion cycle.
  • the double-walled cylinder In order to obtain a good combustion, the double-walled cylinder must be filled with the biomass up to a level slightly lower than the upper combustion holes.
  • the biomass stove comprises a pipe, with function of conveyor, which is placed in the lower part of the heat generator and traverses the two walls of the double-walled cylinder in a substantially orthogonal direction so as to convey a secondary flow of air, aspirated from the external environment by means of a fan, in the interior of the heat generator in an area under the mobile grate on which the biomass has been loaded, and therefore feed the various stages of combustion of the biomass.
  • the stove is filled with the biomass, usually consisting of wood pellets, up to a level slightly below the upper combustion holes, as already stated, after which the lighting of the flame is performed with an igniter of the solid or liquid type.
  • biomass usually consisting of wood pellets
  • the combustion air, cold, of the primary flow enters through the lower holes and generates a natural flow, in vertical direction, along the cavity defined by the double-walled cylinder, so as to heat gradually, and then exits from the upper holes so as to feed the combustion flame and therefore generate heat which is transmitted to the external environment heated by the stove.
  • a diffuser placed in the area of the flame and therefore in the upper part of the stove, has the function of spreading the flame directly into the environment and therefore the heat produced by it, making sure that the flame follows a certain path depending on the type of heat generator.
  • the air blown by the fan and conveyed by the pipe passes between the interstices of the biomass, loaded over the grate, and allows an increase in the size of the flame with a consequent increase in the heat produced.
  • the flame ignited by the solid or liquid igniter propagates uniformly inside the double-walled cylinder of the heat generator, until igniting a uniform combustion in the upper layer of the biomass.
  • the combustion gradually depletes the biomass until obtaining a carbonification of the fuel, or of the biomass.
  • This known biomass stove is not however exempt from the limits and disadvantages linked in particular to the fact that the operation of the fan that aspirates air from the outside environment and blows it and feeds it towards the combustion area, inside the heat generator in the area below the grate on which the biomass to be burnt has been loaded, is controlled in a substantially manual manner.
  • the fan speed is manually increased in order to increase the intensity of the flame and therefore the heat produced, so as to determine a complete combustion and a consequent virtually total depletion of the carbon mass, as illustrated previously.
  • FIGs. 4A and 4B show, with reference to the following list, a typical biomass stove, denoted by A, in accordance with the prior art, such as that described previously, on which the present invention is applied, substantially improving it, and the respective mode of operation.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to propose a new biomass stove which remedies the limitations and disadvantages, illustrated previously, of biomass stoves currently known and in use, by optimising combustion in the various operating phases of the stove and in particular realising a complete and total combustion of the biomass safely and automatically, i.e. without the burnt biomass leaving at the end of its combustion cycle and therefore the extinguishing of the flame any carbonaceous residue.
  • Another object of the present invention is also to realise a new stove that can be fed with biomasses which, besides having excellent yield, totally exempts its user from any manual intervention, in particular to adjust by means of the fan the forced air ventilation which feeds the combustion of the biomass.
  • biomass stove in particular pellet stove, having the features defined by the independent main claim 1.
  • the invention has as a starting point, in order to achieve safe and automatic operation of the stove and in particular such as to obtain a total exhaustion and burning of the biomass at the end of its combustion cycle, the observation, by the inventor, based on tests and measurements performed on a prototype of the stove of the invention built by the same inventor, that the temperature in the zone of formation of the flame, as detected in a given zone or fixed point, is subject to vary as a result of the variation of the fan speed, that is of the intensity of the forced ventilation produced by the fan, as well as the observation, also verified by practical tests, that during the carbonification process of the biomass and the consequent change in colouring of the combustion flame the temperature of the latter is subject to a drastic reduction and drop until an intervention is performed to increase the fan speed, or the forced ventilation, so as to prevent and counteract this drop and maintain the temperature of the flame high.
  • biomass stove of the invention has a series of numerous and significant advantages, in part already implicitly disclosed previously and further illustrated here below, among which the following are cited purely by way of an example:
  • a biomass stove or heater that is, apt to be fed by a biomass, denoted by BM, such as for example pellets, to burn it and thus generate heat, made in accordance with the present invention, is denoted as a whole by 10.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically the structure of the biomass stove 10 of the invention which, as can be seen, is apparently very similar to that of a usual stove, known and available commercially, such as that previously described and shown in Figs. 4A and 4B .
  • biomass stove 10 of the invention comprises:
  • the biomass stove 10 comprises a flame temperature sensor, denoted by 16, of known features, also simply called a temperature sensor, which is positioned in the upper part of the heat generator 11, that is adjacent to the combustion flame 12, in a given point or area denoted by 12' and shown in Fig. 1 , wherein this temperature sensor 16 has the function of continuously measuring the temperature Tf of the flame 12 during operation of the biomass stove 10 to generate heat.
  • a flame temperature sensor denoted by 16 of known features, also simply called a temperature sensor, which is positioned in the upper part of the heat generator 11, that is adjacent to the combustion flame 12, in a given point or area denoted by 12' and shown in Fig. 1 , wherein this temperature sensor 16 has the function of continuously measuring the temperature Tf of the flame 12 during operation of the biomass stove 10 to generate heat.
  • the positioning of the temperature sensor 16 in this given point or area 12', adjacent to the combustion flame 12, is not random, but is essential for allowing the optimal operation of the biomass stove 10 of the invention and therefore obtain from it the maximum of its performances, as will be described here below by the description, in particular the operation of the stove 10.
  • this given point or zone 12' in which the temperature sensor 16 is located, must be such that the temperature developed by the flame (Tf), as detected by the same temperature sensor 16, is subject to vary due to the variation of the speed of the fan 14a of the ventilation system 14, that is it tends to increase in response to an increase in the speed of the fan 14a and vice versa tends to decrease in response to a decrease in the speed of the fan 14a.
  • the biomass stove 10 further comprises a flame diffuser, denoted by 17, which has the function of diffusing in the space the flame 12 produced by the heat generator 11.
  • the heat generator 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape wholly similar to that of known stoves, like the one shown in Figs. 4A and 4B , and in particular comprises a double-walled casing having an outer cylindrical wall 11a and an inner cylindrical wall, not shown in Fig. 1 , which define one with the other a cavity for the primary flow of combustion air that feeds the combustion flame 12.
  • the feeding system 13, apt to feed in a natural way, essentially by convection, the primary flow of combustion air comprises, like the known stove shown in Figs. 4A and 4B , a series of holes 13a, formed on the outer surface of the heat generator 11, for the entry from the external environment of the primary combustion air, as denoted by arrows f in Fig. 1 , in the cavity formed by the cylindrical outer and inner walls of the casing of the heat generator 11.
  • the biomass stove 10 further comprises a grate, adjustable in height along the axis X of the heat generator 11, not shown in the drawings but substantially corresponding to that, denoted by E, included in the known biomass stove shown in Fig. 4A , which has the function of receiving and supporting, during combustion, the biomass BM that is loaded in the stove 10 to be burned.
  • the biomass stove 10 of the invention has some changes and improvements, illustrated here below, in particular aimed at improving the biomass combustion process and the diffusion of the heat generated by such combustion.
  • a first modification consists of a mechanical system that ensures a virtually airtight coupling between the flame diffuser 17 and the structure of the heat generator 11, wherein this mechanical system is substantially constituted by a telescopic ring which is inserted in a corresponding housing formed in the cylindrical body of the heat generator 11, and firmly coupled to the flame diffuser 17 by means of a lever device or of a system of guides.
  • a second modification also not shown in the drawings for reasons of brevity, consists in positioning inside the upper part of the cylindrical body of the heat generator 11, that is in proximity of the upper combustion holes, a system of tilted fins that encourage the ascent and the development in the vertical direction of the combustion flame 12 and influence its form, given that, through the effect of these fins, the combustion flame 12 assumes a dynamic form that tends to rotate.
  • the electronic control unit 18, which governs and controls the operation of the biomass stove 10 is configured to control in an automatic way, by means of a program or software SW, indicated schematically by a block in Fig. 1 , stored in the same electronic control unit 18, the speed of the fan 14a, and therefore the secondary flow of forced air intended to feed inside the heat generator 11 the combustion flame 12, depending on the temperature Tf of the combustion flame Tf, as detected by the temperature sensor 16, in particular during the final stage of the cycle of combustion of the biomass and therefore its phase of carbonification or carbonisation, in order to determine the complete and total combustion of the biomass load, i.e. without leaving at the end of its combustion any carbonaceous residue in the heat generator, as described in detail here below.
  • FIGs of Figs. 2A and 2B relate specifically to the electrical and electronic part, denoted as a whole by 20, which is included in the biomass stove 10 of the invention, respectively in the case of power supply from the mains at 220 volts and by means of a battery.
  • FIGs of Figs. 2A and 2B show, in addition to the electronic control unit 18, the fan 14a and the temperature sensor 16, already mentioned and described previously, some further components and salient functions of this electrical and electronic part 20, such as a safety thermostat 21, a safety solenoid 22, a display or visualiser 23 apt to provide the operator with useful data concerning the operation of the biomass stove 10, and a potentiometer 24 in order to be able to make any manual adjustments during the use of the stove.
  • a safety thermostat 21 a safety solenoid 22
  • a display or visualiser 23 apt to provide the operator with useful data concerning the operation of the biomass stove 10
  • a potentiometer 24 in order to be able to make any manual adjustments during the use of the stove.
  • control unit 18 of the biomass stove 10 of the invention can replace the functions of the potentiometer 24, so as to avoid manual adjustments, or to ensure that adjustments which become necessary in the operation of the stove are carried out in automatic mode, in particular as regards the regulation of the power and of the speed of the fan 14a.
  • the software SW can be configured to adjust automatically, therefore without having to use the potentiometer 24, the power of the fan 14a during operation of the stove 10, by setting certain levels for this power as a function of the established operating temperature for the stove 10, or by setting a minimum threshold of revolutions of the fan 14a.
  • the operator turns on the stove 10, as indicated by a label 20, in a known manner and by means of the electronic control unit 18.
  • a first phase of ignition and start-up begins, shown schematically with a block 21 in Fig. 3 , during which the fan 14a, included in the forced ventilation system 14, operates under the control of the software SW, at a determined constant speed, as indicated by a block 22, so as to feed at a constant flow rate the secondary flow 14b, of forced air, which feeds the combustion flame 12 by blowing air, in the heat generator 11, from the area below the grate on which the biomass BM is loaded.
  • this first phase 21 of igniting and start-up continues and lasts until the temperature sensor 16 detects that the temperature of the flame Tf has reached the normal operation temperature Tr, corresponding to the stabilisation of the combustion of the biomass BM, or to the achievement of a normal condition and regularity of the combustion of the biomass BM.
  • a second phase starts, as indicated by a block 26, corresponding to the phase of the main operation and temporally longest of the entire combustion cycle of the biomass BM, during which the biomass BM loaded in the stove 10 is progressively burnt.
  • the temperature sensor 16 detects, by performing samplings at intervals of defined time, as indicated by a block 27, the temperature Tf of the flame 12 and sends a corresponding signal to the electronic control unit 18, which in turn regulates the ventilation on the basis of the received signals.
  • the electronic control unit 18 when from this sampling of the signals received from the temperature sensor 16 it determines, as indicated by a block 28a, that the temperature Tf of the flame 12 is lower than the normal temperature Tr of the flame 12, namely, as mentioned, than the temperature of the flame 12 corresponding to a regular pattern and operation of the combustion of the biomass BM, commands an increase in the speed of the fan 14a so as to increase the temperature Tf of the flame 12 thanks to a greater supply of forced air in the area of combustion, so as to make sure that the temperature Tf of the flame 12 returns to being once again in accordance with the normal operation temperature Tr.
  • the electronic control unit 18 when it detects, as indicated by a block 28b, that the temperature Tf of the flame 12 is greater than the normal operation temperature Tr of the flame 12, commands a decrease in the speed of the fan 14a so as to reduce correspondingly the temperature Tf of the flame 12 due to a lower supply of forced air in the combustion zone, and thus makes sure that also in this case the temperature Tf of the flame returns again to being once again in accordance with the normal operation temperature Tr.
  • the phase 26 of regular and normal operation continues and lasts, under the control of the software SW, until the electronic control unit 18 detects, as indicated by a block 29, a progressive and drastic reduction in the temperature Tf of the flame 12, indicating that the combustion cycle of the biomass BM loaded in the stove 10 is coming to an end, i.e. that the biomass BM is carbonising and therefore is about to deplete its caloric potential.
  • a third phase begins, indicated by a block 30, which precedes precisely the end of the combustion cycle of the biomass and in which the biomass BM has a carbonified shape.
  • the temperature sensor 16 detects in continuation, as indicated by a block 31, the temperature Tf of the flame 12 and sends a corresponding signal to the electronic control unit 18.
  • the electronic control unit 18 until it determines, on the basis of the signals received from the temperature sensor 16, that the temperature Tf of the flame 12 is greater than the temperature Ts, corresponding to the extinguishing of the flame 12 and consequently to the end of the entire combustion cycle of the biomass BM, controls a gradual increase in the speed of the fan 14a.
  • This gradual increase in the speed of the fan 14a in turn has the effect, thanks to the greater supply of forced air in the area of the biomass BM, of counteracting the decrease in the temperature Tf of the flame 12, consequent to the carbonification of the biomass BM, and of maintaining this temperature Tf high, so as to cause, advantageously, the total combustion and exhaustion of the biomass BM initially loaded in the stove 10, i.e. without leaving in the same stove 10 any carbonaceous residue at the end of the combustion cycle of the biomass BM, as indicated by a block 34.
  • the electronic control unit 18 when it determines by means of the signals received from the temperature sensor 16 that the temperature Tf of flame 12 has dropped until it is equal to or less than the extinguishing temperature Ts, as indicated by a block 35, commands in automatic mode the turning off of the stove 10, in turn indicated by a block 36, that is the stop of the fan 14a and the interruption of any forced ventilation in the heat generator 11.
  • the position of the temperature sensor 16 that detects continuously the temperature of the flame 12 has its own specific importance in the context of the invention and therefore should not be overlooked.
  • this position of the temperature sensor 16, in the area of the combustion flame 12 must be such, in order to obtain a correct and optimal operation of the biomass stove 10, as to allow the temperature sensor 16 to detect with sufficient precision the temperature response of the combustion flame 12 to the variations of the speed of the fan 14a, i.e. to the varyingly intense flow 14b of forced air which feeds the combustion of the biomass BM.
  • this arrangement of the temperature sensor 16, after the combustion flame 12 has the advantage compared to other arrangements, while still in the zone of the flame 12, of allowing operation in a range of relatively lower temperatures.
  • the temperature sensor 16 can be placed in various positions and modes, in the zone of the combustion flame 12, therefore more or less distant from it, or also within the same flame 12, provided the condition is met of being able to detect with sufficient precision the response in temperature of the flame 12 to the variations in the speed and the power of the fan 14a.
  • the program or software SW that governs the operation of the biomass stove 10 may take into account the specific and exact position of the temperature sensor location 16 in order to determine, as a function of the temperature signal received from the same temperature sensor 16, the response for the fan 14, that is to command an increase and decrease in the speed thereof or maintain its speed unchanged.
  • the present invention fully achieves the intended objects, and in particular proposes a new stove, apt to burn biomasses and in particular pellets in order to generate heat, having the capacity to govern and control in a totally automatic way the entire combustion cycle of a biomass load loaded into the stove, without leaving, at the end of its combustion and once the flame has gone out, any residual carbonaceous material inside the stove.
  • the biomass stove of the invention may include an electromechanical device apt to lock directly or indirectly, during the operation of the stove, the cylindrical body of the respective heat generator, so as to prevent the extraction thereof from the stove, until a minimum temperature limit deemed safe has been reached.
  • the program that manages the operation of the stove can be configured so as to determine a minimum level of load of the biomass such as to allow the execution of the complete cycle of combustion, and to emit a light or sound report should faults occur concerning the load level of the biomass or in general malfunctions of the stove.
  • the software or program that manages the operation of the biomass stove can be appropriately configured so as to control and command the fan which determines the ventilation of forced air in the biomass combustion zone, at a constant speed, or in general conforms to the value required by the program, regardless of the level of charge of the battery that powers the fan.
  • biomass stove or the respective program or software can be configured to vary and control the operating power of the stove, or the heat generated by it, as a function of a certain temperature range detected, so that, once minimum and maximum limits of temperature have been established, it is possible to regulate and control in various ways the minimum and maximum power delivered by the stove.
