Abstract
A system, device and method for enhancing burning of a solid object in a combustion process is provided where one or more incineration devices (101) for burning a solid object (101), at least one sonic device (301) and wherein said at least one sonic device (301) is a transmitter of high intensity-ultrasound adapted to, during use, apply high intensity ultrasound to said solid object (101) thereby removing ash from said solid object (101) and increasing the speed of the burning of said solid object (101).
Claims17
A system for enhancing burning of a solid object in a combustion process, the system (100) comprising:
- one or more incineration devices (102) for burning a solid object (101),
- at least one sonic device (301),
- characterized in that
- said at least one sonic device (301) is an high intensity ultrasound device adapted to, during use, to apply high intensity ultrasound to said solid object (101) thereby removing ash from said solid object (101) and increasing turbulence around the solid object (101) and thereby increasing the speed of the burning of said solid object (101), where a sound pressure level of said high intensity ultrasound is at least approximately 140 dB.
A method of enhancing burning of a solid object in a combustion process, the method comprising
- burning a solid object (101) by one or more incineration devices (102),
- characterized in that said method further comprises
- applying, during use, high intensity ultrasound from at least one sonic device (301) to said solid object (101) thereby removing ash from said solid object (101) and increasing turbulence around the solid object (101) and thereby increasing the speed of the burning of said solid object (101), where a sound pressure level of said high intensity ultrasound is at least approximately 140 dB.
A sonic device (301) being a Hartmann type gas jet acoustic wave generator comprising
- an outer part (305) and an inner part (306) defining a passage (303),
- an opening (302), and
- a cavity (304) provided in the inner part (306),
- where said sonic device (301) is adapted to receive a pressurized gas and pass the pressurized gas to said opening (302), from which the pressurized gas is discharged in a jet towards the cavity (304) thereby generating high intensity ultrasound, characterized in that said sonic device (301) is adapted to, during use, to apply high intensity ultrasound to a solid object (101) thereby removing ash from said solid object (101) and increasing turbulence around the solid object (101) and thereby increasing the speed of the burning of said solid object (101), where a sound pressure level of said high intensity ultrasound is at least approximately 140 dB.
