Abstract: A stove including spiraling walls to create multiple vertical inlets, spiraling layers of spaces that can self-draw and self-heat the air from outside of the stove into the burn zone, and a rim that covers the top area of the spiraling walls and leaves an opening above the fire. From burning, a convection draft draws air from the side-environment of the stove through the vertical inlets to circulate in the spiraling layered space, and to supply to the fire horizontally. The circling of air will be heated by the fire through conduction and irradiation. This design enables extra heated air directly for an enhanced primary burn. The stove can include side walls of different profiles, e.g., straight, tilted and curved walls and different spiraling profiles of spiraling layered spaces, e.g., linear, exponential, and exponential-polynomial.

Abstract: A low-heat-loss operation method of a line-focusing heat collection system and the line-focusing heat collection system are provided. The method includes the following steps. Solar energy is utilized to preheat a collector tube in an empty tube state, so that the collector tube is in a preheating mode. After a set preheating temperature is reached, a heat transfer working medium is injected into the collector tube. In the injection process of the heat transfer working medium, an injection section of the collector tube is converted into a focusing mode from a preheating mode. After heat collection is finished, the circulation of the heat transfer working medium is stopped, and the focusing mode of the collector tube is kept. In the drainage process of the heat transfer working medium, an emptying section of the collector tube is converted into a light heat-tracing mode from a focusing mode.

Abstract: The present device is a fluid bed regenerative thermal oxidizer configured to minimize dead spaces within it and eliminate the need for complex valve systems, which are typically required to move treated and untreated air across fixed beds. The present device can be a fluid bed regenerative thermal oxidizer comprising a vertical stack having a combustion chamber near its interior center and desorber shelves located within the vertical stack above the combustion chamber and adsorber shelves located within the vertical stack below the combustion shelves. Ceramic spheres can be used as heat sinks that flow from the desorber shelves, around the combustion chamber and onto the adsorber shelves and then back to the desorber shelves. In this way heat from the combustion can be captured by the heat exchange material on the desorber shelves and released to preheat untreated air on the adsorber shelves.
