Abstract
A combustion chamber for an evaporator configured for the production of a syrup, the combustion chamber comprising a combustion chamber frame defining a firebox configured to receive a fuel for combustion, and a modular refractory chamber wall extending along a longitudinal side of the firebox, the modular refractory chamber wall comprising at least one refractory panel removably mountable to the combustion chamber frame to provide a thermal insulation to the combustion chamber.
Claims20
A combustion chamber for an evaporator configured for the production of a syrup, the combustion chamber comprising:
- a combustion chamber frame defining a firebox configured to receive a fuel for combustion;
- and
- a modular refractory chamber wall extending along a longitudinal side of the firebox, the modular refractory chamber wall comprising at least one refractory panel removably mountable to the combustion chamber frame to provide a thermal insulation to the combustion chamber.
A method of installing a modular refractory chamber wall in a combustion chamber of an evaporator, the method comprising:
- removably mounting a refractory panel of the modular refractory chamber wall to a combustion chamber frame of the combustion chamber;
- and
- inserting a resilient member between the refractory panel and the combustion chamber frame to compressively retain the refractory panel in a mounted configuration.
