ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for efficiently burning a wide variety of fuels without having to add auxiliary fuel to the system or provide special air handling equipment. In the main embodiment of the invention, two cylindrical burning sections are superimposed one over the other in a cross-like configuration. The lower cylinder serves as a primary burning chamber in the system while the upper cylinder serves as an afterburner. A conveyor transports raw fuel from the front of the primary chamber through an extended burning zone. The rear of the chamber remains open to the atmosphere so that air is drawn over the moving fuel bed in the burning zone in counterflow relationship therewith. An elongated duct is aligned within the primary chamber over the burning bed of fuel and is arranged to accelerate volatile gases generated in the primary chamber into the afterburner. The angular relationship between the two cylinders is adjusted so that a turbulent vortical flow is created in the afterburner.
