Abstract

A stove for combustion of solid fuel comprises a primary combustion chamber (1) and a secondary combustion chamber (6) with separate supply of combustion air to both chambers. Both chambers (1, 6) are thermally insulated in such a manner that the secondary combustion chamber is better heat insulated than the primary combustion chamber. The secondary combustion chamber is a two-stage chamber. There is provided a heat exchanger surface (9) between an inlet passage (8) for the secondary combustion air and the outlet (10) for the hot combustion gases from the secondary combustion chamber (6).

Description

Price 90p The present invention relates to stoves for combustion of solid fuel for example wood, coke and coal, comprising a primary combustion chamber and a secondary combustion chamber.
Attempts have been made with previously known stoves of this type to achieve an after combustion of incompletely burned gases by supplying secondary air to same in the combustion .chamber. Tests have, however, shown that the effect aimed at very rarely is obtained in small stoves and that if the result is obtained, it is due to particularly advantageous circumstances.
Due to the signs of a -future shortage of energy, present interest has increased in util-ization of forest products as a source for domestic heating. There will then be a demand for a stove which, without pollution of the environment is able to burn forest products and similar fuels with the highest possible efficiency and the best possible degree of controlled combustion It is a feature of this type of stoves that the 2o fuel undergoes an incomplete (pyrolytic) combustion at a comparatively low temperature in a primary combustion chamber. In this process, inflammable gases (pyrolytic gases), inter alia, carbon monoxide, are liberated at a rate which is dependent on the temperature and the form and composition of the fuel. The temperature in the primary combustion chamber is dependent on the rate of combustion which takes place therein, and consequently is dependent on the supply of primary combustion air and the heat insulation of the primary combustion chamber. The total latent energy dissipation will consequently be the sum of the intensity of the primary combustion and the heating value of the dO pyrolytic gases. A controlled dissipation of energy requires at all times an adjustment of the quantity of primary air and the insulation of the primary combustion chamber, to the fuel which is in use.
In order to secure complete combustion of the Ί5 pyrolytic gases and thereby obtain a high effeciency it will be necessary to supply combustion secondary air to the gases under controlled conditions concerning quantity, temperature and residence time. The combustion can in an effective manner take place in a separate secondary combustion chamber with suitable heat insulation and supply of air.
An object of the present invention is consequently to provide a stove for the combustion of solid fuel in which the combustion takes place in two stages, viz., firstly in a primary combustion chamber and thereafter in a secondary combustion chamber in such a manner that 1048 a high efficiency of the stove is obtained, and the stove should further be so designed that a controlled combustion is obtained.
According to the present invention a stove for the combustion of solid fuel such as wood, coke or coal comprises a combustion section which has a primary combustion chamber for the solid fuel, a primary air inlet for admitting combustion air to the primary combustion chamber, an exit section which includes a secondary combustion chamber and which is connected to to the outlet of the primary combustion chamber to receive the combustion gases therefrom, and a secondary air inlet for admitting further combustion air to the secondary combustion chamber, the primary and secondary combustion chambers being provided with heat insulation such that the secondary combustion chamber is better heat insulated than the primary combustion chamber whereby to enable the temperature of the combustion gases in the exit section to be raised to complete the combustion thereof.
The size of an optimal secondary combustion chamber will be dependent on the energy dissipation of the stove. The secondary combustion chamber is therefore preferably designed to ensure good secondary combustion over a wide range of adjustment, so that the combustion with low dissipation will take place in a first stage and at higher dissipations the combustion will be completed in a second stage.
It is advantageous to provide a heat exchanger surface between an inlet passage for secondary combustion air, and an outlet passage for the hot combustion gases from the secondary....................... combustion chamber in order to preheat the combustion air admitted to the secondary combustion chamber.
It is to be recommended that the secondary air passage opens out in the space between the primary and secondary combustion chambers.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the secondary combustion air passage is located in a partition between the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber and this passage is insulated relative to the primary combustion chamber and defines a heat exchanger surface adjacent the secondary combustion chamber. The result is a pre-heating of the secondary combustion air.
A source of heat may be located in the secondary combustion chamber or in the air supply passage to the secondary combustion chamber, the source of heat being supplied with external energy and may, for example be an electric heating element. The energy dissipated by this source of heat can be controlled by a) the temperature in the secondary combustion chamber, or by b) the temperature rise in the secondary combustion chamber or by c) the temperature in the primary combustion chamber or by d) a combination of the parameters (a, b, c).
In order to lower the ignition temperature for the gases in the secondary combustion chamber, the secondary combustion chamber can be provided with a 048 catalyst. An alternative to this feature is to provide the secondary combustion chamber with plates, rods or similar means having a large thermal inertia so that ignition cf combustion gases will take place more easily than with a free gas atmosphere.
Tn order to ensure a self-controlled combustion process with high efficiency under all conditions independent of the type of fuel or form or varying draft conditions, a fan may be provided to ensure a uniform air supply for combustion. In an advantageous embodiment, the fan is driven by a thermoelectric element positioned on one of the walls in one of the combustion chambers, preferably the secondary combustion chamber.
The fan can be controlled by a thermostat.
The invention will be further described., by way of example, with reference to the diagramatic drawing which is a section of one embodiment of combustion stove according to the invention.
The stove shown as an example, comprises a primary combustion chamber 1 of which at least the top wall 2 is insulated. It is, however, possible to insulate also the side walls if this should prove necessary in order to'increase the temperature in the primary combustion, chamber when a predetermined rate of combustion is desired. Combustion air to the primary chamber 1 is drawn through draft openings 4 in the front of the stove.
The combustion gases from the primary- chamber 1 are conveyed through an opening 5 ab the rear wall 3 into secondary combustion chamber 6. This chamber is constructed as a two-stage chamber in which the combustion when the energy dissipation is low, takes place in stage I, while the combustion will be completed in stage II when the energy dissipation is high. Combustion air for the secondary chamber 6 is drawn in through a draft opening 7 ia the front of the stove to a passage 8 in the top wall 2 of the primary chamber 1. The . supply of combustion air is adjusted by controlling the primary air and secondary air simultaneously. The passage 8 is inshlated from the primary chamber 1 as shown on the drawing, but is provided with a heat exchanger surface 9 towards an outlet passage 10 from the secondary chamber 6. The secondary chamber 6 has a good, thermal insulation, so that sufficiently high temperatures (750 to 1000°C) are obtained therein. To ensure ignition with a complete combustion of the combustion gases in the secondary chamber 6, viz. that the temperature will be higher than the ignition temperature for the gases, a heating element 12 with an external supply of energy can be used. The heating element 12 can be an electric heating element, as in the shown embodiment, or the heating element can be an oil burner, gas burner, etc. The heating element can be located in the supply passage 8 for the secondary combustion air instead of in the secondary chamber 6 proper. As mentioned above the secondary chamber 6 may have a catalytic surface, for example a platinum or rhodium compound, so that the ignition temperature for the combustion gases is lowered. The secondary chamber 6 can also be provided with plates, rods or similar means having a certain thermal inertia, so that the ignition of the combustion gases will take place easier than in a free gas atmosphere. It should be pointed out that the provision of heating element, catalyst or rod or similar means with thermal inertia can be used alone or in combination.
The hot gases from the secondary chamber 6 are conveyed out through the outlet passage 10,re-enters at the forward edge of the top wall 2 and. flow through a passage 15 on the upper side of a top wall 11 to the flue 14. From the outlet of the passage 10 to the flue, the combustion gases dissipate the largest possible quantity of heat, and the passage 15 is therefore provided with a heat exchanger for transfer of the heat to the environment.
The flue 14 may be provided with a fan 15 which could be supplied with electric current from a thermocouple 16 located on the hot wall surface of-the passage 13. The thermocouple will generate an electric current which is dependent on the temperature difference between the hot side of the wall and the environment. The fan 15 can be controlled by a thermostat so that the supply of combustion air is made dependent on a desired room temperature. The starting of a cold stove can be made with a booster battery as the thermocouple does not then generate any .current, or natural draft through the flue can be utilized.
The external supply of energy to the secondary chamber 6 will not be required at all times. To control this supply of energy the following parameters should be taken into account: . (a) the temperature in the secondary combustion chamber. If this temperature falls below 800°C, supply of external energy is required if combustion gas still is flowing from the primary combustion chamber, A temperature sensor could then be provided in the secondary combustion chamber; (b) Temperature rise from inlet to outlet in the secondary combustion zone. A positive value which is not due .to supply of energy, indicates that combustion gas to be burned still is flowing; (c) The temperature in the primary combustion chamber. A low limiting value indicates that the stove has no more fuel and therefore there is no need for S1048 ίο external supply of energy. 3y combination of two or more of these parameters in the form of, for example, electrical signals from thermocouples, thermistors or similar means, it is possible to achieve a fully automatic and complete combustion of all inflammable gas.
