Abstract: A grate bar for combustion systems, having a substantially closed surface facing the combustion side, a rear support region designed to be placed on a grate carrier for forming the grate, and a front nose region, which is rounded between the surface and front edge and has a bearing surface designed on the lower face and further has cooling fins for air cooling which protrude from the lower face of the surface forming the grate. A head part in the interior has at least regionally thickened head fins for air cooling in the longitudinal direction and vertical direction below the surface facing the combustion side. The grate bar can also be a reversible grate bar.

Abstract: A combustion grate including fire bars which are either wholly or partially cooled by a fluid circulating in a closed regulating circuit. The flow lines which conduct the fluid have thermal expansion capability. In particular, windings are provided in the shape of a helical spring in these flow lines. The fire bars include corrugated exchangers and can be replaceable rods.

Abstract: A combustion grate has fire bars which have whole or partial cooling by gas or fluid use via a closed regulating circuit. Lines which conduct the fluid or gas have thermal expansion capability. In particular, windings are provided in the shape of a helical spring. The fire bars have corrugated exchangers and can be replaceable rods.

Abstract: To prolong the life of grate rods which have holders at one end for the rod holding elements of a grate, and have at the other end a support part for preferably inclined support on another rod, it is proposed that both a holder in the form of a recess and a support part be provided at each end of the rod. In this way, when the end of the rod used as the support part wears out, the rod can be turned so that its holder rests on this worn end.
