Patent number: 5673636Abstract: A process wherein an incineration grate is tempered by a medium that flows therethrough. The grate has a number of hollow plates made of sheet metal. Each plate lies on the next underlying plate. A connection pipe is arranged on one side of each plate and a discharge pipe is arranged on the other side of each plate for the flowing medium. The individual plates are crossed by a plurality of tubular elements which open on the top side of the plates. Primary air is supplied to the materials to be incinerated through the tubular elements. Primary air supply is individually dosed to each tubular element.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1995Date of Patent: October 7, 1997Assignee: Doikos Investments Ltd.Inventor: Jakob Stiefel

Patent number: 5651321Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method for supplying solid material such as hot carbonaceous material from a pyrolyzer or reactor to a furnace, is provided comprising providing a screw conveyor for receiving the solid carbonaceous material from the pyrolyzer or reactor preferably from above the conveyor and transporting it along its length to a vaned rotor preferably positioned on the axle of the screw conveyor preferably substantially near the end of the screw conveyor for supplying the carbonaceous material to the furnace.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1996Date of Patent: July 29, 1997Assignee: Ormat Industries Ltd.Inventors: Boris Siniakevith, Mark Khaskin, Daniel Goldman, Benjamin Doron, Lucien Y. Bronicki, Eli Yaffe

Patent number: 5588378Abstract: A combustion enhancement system with in-bed foils are utilized to enhance combustion and emissions. The combustion enhancement system is especially designed for use in a traveling grate-type stoker in which the combustion foils are positioned on the top surface of the grate such that the fuel is moved past the foils by the grate. The combustion foils are provided with a high pressure fluid, such as a gas, to be injected into the fuel. The combustion foils are shaped to divide the fuel such as to create turbulence within the fuel. Preferably, the fluid is injected into the fuel at the point of turbulence.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1995Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: New York State Electric & Gas CorporationInventor: Rick A. Mancini

Patent number: 4706578Abstract: A pulsating hearth for an incinerator wherein the hearth is suspended on a fixed frame for movement in a limited short arc to urge random size particles burning in a pile on the hearth in a predetermined path intermittently across the surface of the hearth. Movement is imparted to the hearth in periodic pulses preferably by inflating sets of air bags mounted on the frame, which stroke the hearth to move it a short distance from an initial position and jar it against the frame, thus impelling the burning particles a short distance by inertia and concurrently stoking the burning pile upon each stroke, and then returning the hearth to its initial position. The hearth may also have a plurality of nozzles connected to a source of air for delivering gently flowing air to the burning pile on the hearth.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1984Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Inventor: John N. Basic, Sr.

Patent number: 4571137Abstract: A device for supplying solid fuel to a furnace comprises a cell wheel (16) for receiving fuel portions in the cells (19) open axially. The cell wheel is rotatably mounted between two stationary end walls (12, 13) forming two openings (20, 21) facing each other, one of the end walls having an outlet socket (23) at the opening therein. A mechanism (27, 33) is provided to rotate the cell wheel step by setp, and a transfer element (50, 51) is displaceable through a cell when located between the openings, for supplying the fuel contained therein through the outlet socket to the furnace. A shut-off member (43) is provided to shut off the passage through the socket in co-ordination with the movement of the transfer element.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1983Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: HB BGM InnovationInventor: Bengt-Goran Malmgren

Patent number: 4475469Abstract: A pulsating hearth for an incinerator wherein the hearth is suspended on a fixed frame for movement in a limited short arc to urge random size particles burning in a pile on the hearth in a predetermined path intermittently across the surface of the heart. Movement is imparted to the hearth in periodic pulses preferably by inflating sets of air bags mounted on the frame, which stroke the hearth to move it a short distance from an initial position and jar it against the frame, thus impelling the burning particles a short distance by inertia and concurrently stoking the burning pile upon each stroke, and then returning the hearth to its initial position. The hearth may also have a plurality of nozzles connected to a source of air for delivering gently flowing air to the burning pile on the hearth.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1982Date of Patent: October 9, 1984Inventor: John N. Basic, Sr.

Patent number: 4475468Abstract: An incinerator with a moving-bed stoker in which a chain conveyor is inclined in the direction of its movement and a plurality of fuel- or fire-bed members L-shaped in cross section are mounted on the links of the chain conveyor, whereby a step-like moving fuel- or fire-bed is defined. Each fuel- or fire-bed member comprises an upright or vertical plate and a horizontal plate and combustion air injection holes are formed through the upright or vertical plate so that the foreign matter such as ash, metal pieces or the like as well as the molten ash produced as the result of the combustion of waste with a low melting point can be prevented from falling through the combustion air holes into the stoker.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1983Date of Patent: October 9, 1984Assignee: Ishikawajima-Harima Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tokihiko Ishikawa, Takehiko Motomura
