Abstract
A combustor includes a combustion chamber including a grate and a combustion space formed above the grate; a fuel supply portion downwardly connected to a central portion of the grate to supply fuel to an upper portion of the grate; an air supply part connected to a side portion of the combustion chamber to be inclined on a horizontal plane, such that the combustion air rotates in the combustion space; a clinker collection portion downwardly communicating with a gap formed between an inner wall of the combustion chamber and the grate, to collect clinker generated by combustion of fuel in the clinker collection portion; and a reintroduction channel passing through the grate, such that the combustion air is reintroduced into the combustion space.

A combustor comprising:
- a combustion chamber including a grate therein and a combustion space formed above the grate;
- a fuel supply portion downwardly connected to a central portion of the grate to supply fuel to an upper portion of the grate;
- an air supply part connected to a side portion of the combustion chamber to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, to supply combustion air such that the combustion air rotates in the combustion space;
- a clinker collection portion downwardly communicating with a gap formed between an inner wall of the combustion chamber and the grate, to collect clinker generated by combustion of fuel performed in the combustion space, in the clinker collection portion through the gap;
- and
- a reintroduction channel passing through the grate from the clinker collection portion to the combustion space, such that the combustion air, having flowed from the combustion space to the clinker collection portion through the gap, is reintroduced into the combustion space.
