Claims
- 1. A solid waste treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a heating chamber for solid material, said heating chamber having an interior and a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about the longitudinal axis;
- a number of heating tubes disposed in said interior of said heating chamber; and
- baffle shells disposed on said heating tubes;
- said heating tubes occupying different positions as said heating chamber rotates about the longitudinal axis, said positions including a lowest position of said heating tubes and a given position in which said heating tubes are in a range of 30.degree. to 60.degree. from said lowest position, as seen in a direction of rotation of said heating chamber, and said baffle shells covering parts of said heating tubes being upper parts when said heating tubes are in said given position.
- 2. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said baffle shells are half-shells.
- 3. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said heating tubes have a given total length, and said baffle shells extend over only part of said given total length.
- 4. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said baffle shells extend over only about one third of said given total length.
- 5. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the longitudinal axis of said heating chamber is disposed at an angle to the horizontal defining a lower end region of said heating tubes, and said baffle shells are mounted at said lower end region of said heating tubes.
- 6. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said baffle shells are formed of steel.
- 7. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said baffle shells are welded onto said heating tubes.
- 8. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said heating tubes are disposed parallel to each other in substantially radial rows.
- 9. The solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said heating tubes are approximately 45.degree. from said lowest position in said given position.
- 10. A solid waste treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said heating chamber is a low-temperature carbonization chamber for the waste.
- 11. A low-temperature solid waste carbonization apparatus, comprising:
- a low-temperature carbonization chamber for solid waste, said chamber having an interior and a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about the longitudinal axis;
- a number of heating tubes disposed in said interior of said chamber; and
- baffle shells disposed on said heating tubes;
- said heating tubes occupying different positions as said heating chamber rotates about the longitudinal axis, said positions including a lowest position of said heating tubes and a given position in which said heating tubes are in a range of 30.degree. to 60.degree. from said lowest position, as seen in a direction of rotation of said heating chamber, and said baffle shells covering parts of said heating tubes being upper parts when said heating tubes are in said given position.
- 12. A solid waste treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a heating chamber for solid material, said heating chamber having an interior and a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about the longitudinal axis;
- a number of heating tubes disposed in said interior of said heating chamber and having a given total length; and
- baffle shells disposed on said heating tubes and extending over only one third part of said given total length of said heating tubes.
- 13. A solid waste treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a heating chamber for solid material, said heating chamber having an interior and a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about the longitudinal axis;
- a number of heating tubes disposed in said interior of said heating chamber; and
- baffle shells disposed on said heating tubes, said heating tube have a given total length, and said baffle shells extend over only part of said given total length,
- wherein the longitudinal axis of said heating chamber is disposed at an angle to the horizontal defining a lower end region of said heating tubes, and said baffle shells are mounted at said lower end region of said heating tubes.
