A series of primary-air orifices (4) extend into the combustion chamber surrounded by a housing (1). A sloping bottom (6) and a grate (12), likewise inclined at an angle (.alpha.), are located underneath. The grate consists of a row of parallel pipes (15a to 15c) which are arranged at a distance from one another and which are provided over their entire length with air outflow orifices (16a, 16b). A covering slide (13) sliding in grooves (17) on the grate makes it possible to cover to a greater or lesser extent both the gaps between the grate pipes (15a to 15c) and, if appropriate, some of the air outflow orifices provided in the grate pipes. The covering slide (13) can be actuated by hand or by means of a motor via a rack (20) connected rigidly to it and via a pinion (19). The primary-air orifices (4) are supplied with compressed air via a distributor (14) which can be regulated via a regulating slide (20) connected to the covering slide (13); in this way, the supply of primary air can be controlled as a function of the particular quantity of secondary air.
A combination chamber for solid fuels, with a housing, a closable charging orifice located in its top part, a grate arranged in the lower portion of the housing, and a number of primary-air orifices directed into the furnace and connected to a compressed-air source, wherein the grate is designed as an air feeder and has an arrangement of hollow profiles which are connected to said compressed-air source and which are arranged at a distance from one another forming gaps and are provided with a number of air outflow orifices, a covering slide means being mounted in the region of the grate so as to be displaceable relative to the latter, in such a way that it more or less covers or completely exposes the gaps between the hollow profiles, depending on its position.
