Abstract
An apparatus for the combustion and/or decomposition of fuel by heat, especially of solid fuels such as peat, coal, wood, straw or garbage, comprising a fuel supply and air supply to a bar grate which is used as combustion site and cooperates with material loosening means in the form of disks, prongs or the like which extend through the grate interstices and are mounted on a support member which extends transversely to the grate bars, in which the disks are reciprocable relative to the grate bars in the direction towards the same. The material loosening disks are fitted onto support members each in the form of a support rod of substantially rectangular cross-section such that the disks are individually displaceable in the direction of the support rod.
Claims14
An apparatus for combustion and/or decomposition of fuel by heat, especially of solid fuels such as peat, coal, wood, straw or garbage, comprising:
- a fuel supply and an air supply to a bar grate used as a combustion site, said bar grate cooperating with a material loosening means which extends through interstices of said bar grate, said material loosening means comprising material loosening disks mounted with play on a support member extending transversely to said grate bars, said material loosening disks being adapted for reciprocating motion in the direction towards said grate bars relative thereto, said material loosening disks being adapted to be fitted on said support member, said support member extending beneath said grate bars and comprising a support rod having substantially rectangular cross-section, such that said material loosening disks are individually displaceable in the direction towards said support rod, said material loosening disks being approximately rectangular plates made from refractory and heatproof material and each including on one side thereof a slot corresponding to the cross-section of said support rod, said cross-sectional width of said support rod being slightly smaller than the internal width of the slot into which said support rod is inserted when a disk is fitted thereon.
