Abstract
An incinerator having a horizontal burn disk which is rotatably supported within the lower portion of a firebox with a portion of the firebox containing water tubes connected to a water circulation system including a header and a steam drum. Compacted material for burning is gravity fed to the burn disk througha vertical feeding chute of sufficient height to effect the compaction. Combustion air is forced into the burning material through stationary nozzles disposed about the periphery of the disk, and a nozzle stationary nozzle extending up through the center of the disk.
Claims21
An incinerator for burning combustible material comprising, in combination,
- a firebox,
- a horizontal substantially circular burning disk rotatably supported in said firebox,
- a combustion zone substantially immediately above the upper surface of the disk,
- means for rotating said disk,
- means for supplying compacted material to the disk,
- a combustion air supply extending into said firebox and ending at a central nozzle extending upward through the center of the disk and at least one peripheral nozzle located along the periphery of the disk above the upper surface of the disk, said central nozzle having means for directing air into the combustion zone in a direction substantially horizontal to the upper surface of the disk, and said peripheral nozzle directed to drive air into the combustion zone, such that rotation of the disk exposed unburnt surfaces of the compacted material to combustion air whereby the combustible compacted material burns substantially completely.
An incinerator fur burning combustible material comprising, in combination,
- a firebox,
- a horizontal substantially circular burning disk rotatably supported in said firebox,
- a combustion zone substantially immediately above the upper surface of the disk,
- means for rotating said disk,
- a chute having at least a section which is substantially vertical, the uppermost end of the chute opening outside of the firebox and the lowermost end of the chute opening adjacent the combustion zone, said chute being of a height sufficient to effect compaction of the material under the influence of gravity so that material deposited in the uppermost end of the firebox advances through the chute, is compacted under the influence of gravity and emerges from the chute into the combustion zone on the top of the disk,
- a combustion air supply extending into said firebox and ending at a central nozzle extending upward through the center of the disk and at least one peripheral nozzle located along the periphery of the disk above the upper surface of the disk, said central nozzle having means for directing air into the combustion zone in a direction substantially horizontal to the upper surface of the disk, and said peripheral nozzle directed to drive air into the combustion zone, such that the compacted material in the combustion zone is a agitated between the chute and the rotating disk whereby unburnt surfaces of the compacted material are exposed to combustion air and the combustible compacted material burns substantially completely.
