Abstract
The invention concerns a method for cremating human or animal bodies which consists in generating from a wall (10) of the combustion chamber (3), a turbulence in the form of a vertical displacement above the body (2) and in injecting the air required for combustion into this turbulence. Preferably, the turbulence is generated by rotating means (11) directed inside the chamber (3) and equipped with an inlet air duct (17), provided with a closing valve (18) and the air injection is adjusted by actuating the valve.
Claims19
A method for cremation of human or animal bodies in a combustion chamber comprising:
- heating an interior atmosphere of the combustion chamber to a high temperature;
- introducing a body to be incinerated in its coffin into the combustion chamber, an interior temperature of the combustion chamber being sufficiently high to provoke combustion of the coffin and of the body;
- creating a turbulence from a wall of the combustion chamber as a swirling displacement above the body, the turbulence being generated by a rotating means;
- and
- injecting air to supply oxygen for combustion into the turbulence.
A method of cremation of human or animal bodies in a furnace having a combustion chamber, said method comprising:
- pre-heating the combustion chamber to a chamber temperature;
- introducing the body into the combustion chamber;
- creating a swirling displacement in the combustion chamber directed into the combustion chamber using a rotating apparatus;
- heating the combustion chamber to a temperature sufficient to combust the body;
- and
- injecting air into the swirling displacement through an air inlet duct.
A cremating furnace comprising:
- a combustion chamber comprising a principal combustion chamber, a post-combustion chamber coupled to the principal combustion chamber by a ferrule and a chimney stack connected to the post-combustion chamber for evacuating a gas;
- apparatus associated with the combustion chamber for taking the interior atmosphere of the combustion chamber to a high temperature;
- a principal combustion chamber rotating assembly disposed in the principal combustion chamber for creating a swirling displacement directed inwardly of the principal combustion chamber and comprising a principal combustion chamber variable speed drive;
- a post-combustion chamber rotating assembly disposed in the post-combustion chamber for creating a swirling displacement directed inwardly of the post-combustion chamber and comprising a post-combustion chamber variable speed drive;
- an oxygen sensor disposed in the chimney stack;
- a heat probe disposed in at least one of the principal combustion chamber and the post-combustion chamber;
- and
- an air injector disposed at least in the principal combustion chamber for injecting air into the swirling displacement of at least the principal combustion chamber and comprising an adjustable closure valve and an air inlet duct.
