Abstract: This invention relates to a novel two-stage heat recovery submerged combustion heating system. More particularly, this invention relates to a novel submerged combustion heating system with a lowered self-cooling combustion chamber and a two stage heat recovery system. The system can be installed singly or in combination with other similar submerged combustion systems to heat large quantities of liquids and liquid-solid solutions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel submerged combustion system. More particularly, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for minimizing turbulence in a submerged combustion system. The submerged combustion system can be installed singly or in combination with other similar submerged combustion systems to heat large quantities of liquids and solutions. The invention is directed to a submerged combustion system wherein hot products of combustion are forced through a solution to heat the solution, the hot combustion products being created by burning a fuel with air in the interior of a retaining means, and the hot gaseous products of combustion being exhausted from the interior of the retaining means into the solution, the improvement comprising exhausting the hot gaseous products of combustion through a first port at a predetermined elevation below the level of the solution, the size of the port being predetermined to minimize foam being created at the surface of the solution.
