ABSTRACT:
An afterburner apparatus to eliminate combustible products in exhaust gases so as to produce a substantially pollution-free gas for discharge to atmosphere. The afterburner apparatus is especially suitable for use with incinerators wherein the exhaust gases from the main combustion chamber oftentimes contain burnable waste products due to incomplete combustion. However, it may also be used with other types of combustion equipment, such as furnaces, gas heaters, or the like, wherein they, too, discharge exhaust gases having some burnable waste products therein. The afterburner apparatus provides for a more complete comsumption of waste products in that it is capable of obtaining a higher temperature in its combustion zone because heated air is supplied thereto to support combustion, the use of the heated air resulting in a saving in the amount of fuel used to fire the combustion chamber. Ancillary to this, the heated air for the combustion chamber of the afterburner apparatus is heated by transfer of heat from already treated flue gases, and by not utilizing heat from the exhaust gases prior to their entry into the combustion chamber, these exhaust gases entering at a higher temperature, thus, making it easier to maintain the proper temperature in the combustion chamber.
