ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a device for the combustion of solid fuel in the form of granules, pellets, chips or other fragmented or finely divided form, comprising a rotary reactor drum, which forms the main combustion chamber and has a rear end wall and at the opposite end an outlet for combustion gases to a boiler part for heat transfer to water-cooled surfaces, for example, or other heat-absorbing means, an inlet for combustion air to the main combustion chamber, means for feeding fuel through the rear end wall of the reactor drum and means for rotating the reactor drum around its centre axis.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Combustion devices of the type specified above have been known for a long time and a number of different designs have been suggested over the years. The Swedish patent specification 450734 shows a combustion device which is used to a large extent. The Swedish patent application 9602495-5, which has not yet been published, shows another, improved combustion device with a double-walled reactor drum, in which the space between the inner and outer reactor walls is divided into longitudinal channels, means being disposed for leading combustion air into at least some of these channels and the inner reactor drum wall being provided with through holes for the introduction of combustion air from the channels into the combustion chamber in the reactor drum.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to provide a combustion device of the type specified in the preamble, which can generate more power than other combustion devices of the same size and equipped in the same manner. These and other aims can be achieved by what is specified in the characterizing part of the appending claim
