The subject of the invention is a solid fuel boiler burner, used in central heating boilers for building structures and in other heat exchangers.
In known solutions a rotary fuel transporter, located between the chute unit and the combustion chamber is monolithic. The air supplied by the chute duct is dampened by the mass of the fuel in the transport duct.
In other known solutions a grate of the bottom chute is formed by a ring-shaped or rectangular frame plate, placed above the combustion chamber outlet opening. The solid fuel is pushed and moves onto the grate and combusts. Combustion products in the form of ash are pushed off the grate area by the fresh fuel and fall into the ash pan chamber.
A burner presented in the Polish patent application PL 394233 is known, characterised in that a rotary chamber with a diameter lower than the blower chamber has a fuel feeder inlet, advantageously above the rotary chamber, and an open outlet in the ash pan chamber zone; moreover in its cylinder surface it has openings, covered from the inside of the drum with shielding elements, attached to the internal surface of the drum from the side the fuel moves in, creating above the openings a chamber with a gap placed on the side of the shielding element opposite to the fuel movement direction. This burner requires periodical inspection, and in special cases during a failure, replacement of the unit. This burner has a permanently attached closing plate, to which elements of the fittings are mounted. Access to the elements of the fittings is possible after the closing plate is dismantled.
Air flow drag, related also to the size of fuel pellets, significantly decreases the amount of fuel delivered to the combustion zone, and requires the use of higher powered supply fans, which may reduce the efficiency of the combustion process.
The presented solution eliminates the aforementioned inconveniences.
The essence of the invention, which is a solid fuel boiler burner, with a combustion chamber (1) with aeration openings, the worm feeder (9), and the fuel feeder duct (8) comprises rotary combustion chamber (1). Primary and secondary aeration ducts (26) and (27) are formed between combustion chamber (1) and casing (2). The rotary combustion chamber (1) is mounted in casing (2). The casing (2) is connected by hooks (29) with a gearwheel (6) which is mounted rotationally between two cage bearings (18) placed between the main plate (5) and the compensating and pressure plate (7) having openings (14) and (15) for the inflow of air from the blower chamber (24) through an adjustable screen (11) which controls the ratio of primary to secondary air injected into the primary and secondary aeration ducts (26) and (27) by increasing or decreasing openings (14) and (15), moreover the worm fuel feeder (9) has an axially placed aeration duct (16), with an inlet composed of openings (33) placed in the blower chamber (24) and an outlet composed of openings (35) in the combustion chamber (1).
It is advantageous when the aeration duct (16) has in its outlet zone an injector ending with openings (35).
It is also advantageous when the combustion chamber is connected with the casing by catch (30) and rib (28). The casing (2) is connected to the gearwheel (6) by hook catches (29) positioned in openings along a perimeter of the gearwheel (6) in a frontal plane thereof.
Moreover it is advantageous when the fuel feeding duct (8) from the fuel outlet side have openings (36) that are covered by a screen (39).
Additionally it is advantageous when the aeration ducts (26) and (27) are formed by ribs (4) and (28), which are placed between the internal surface of the casing (2) and the external surface of the combustion chamber (1).
The use of the solution presented in the invention enables the following technical and utility effects:
The subject of the invention, in an example, but not limiting, implementation is presented in the figures.
The burner has a rotary combustion chamber 1 which is placed on a casing pipe 2 with a ring 3 closing the front of the burner and with ribs 4, and as a unit is connected to a gearwheel 6, which is powered by a gearwheel 13 of the transmission gear with electric motor not shown on the figures. The rotary movement of the combustion chamber 1 is thus ensured.
Moreover the chamber from the drive side is closed by a permanent wall—compensating and pressure plate 7, in which an opening is located, to which pellet fuel feeder duct 8 and an ignition heater hot air injection duct are connected.
The fuel in pellet form is fed into the combustion chamber 1 through the fuel feeder duct 8 using a worm feeder 9 driven by an electric motor drive (not shown in the figures).
The burner is equipped with a blower chamber 24 closed by a main plate 5, bulkhead plate 37 and casing plate 38, into which is forced from the fan 17.
A fuel feeder duct (8) and an ignition heater, as well as a unit for dividing the air into primary air and secondary air are located, in the blower chamber 24.
The combustion chamber 1 is fed with fuel through the fuel feeder duct 8, which may be equipped with secondary air aeration openings, whereas the secondary air is fed by the aeration duct 16 inside the worm feeder 9, which may be equipped with an ending with an injector tip with openings 35 to ensure aftercombustion of some flue gases.
Openings 36 in the fuel feeder duct 8 wall, covered by screen 39 are used to create a stream which prevents gases from flowing towards the fuel inlet. Aeration openings 10 deliver air to the combustion chamber 1, and the openings 32 which supply air to chamber 1 may be covered by the screen 23 in order to adjust the air stream volume.
The chamber's support by the gearwheel 6 is provided with two ball bearings 18 placed on one side on the burner permanent main plate 5, and on the other side on a permanent compensating and pressure plate 7 with spring-adjustable pressure.
The rotary combustion chamber 1 which is placed on a casing 2 with a ring 3 closing the front of the burner and with ribs 4 forms a unit connected to a gearwheel 6, which is powered by a gearwheel 13 of the transmission gear with an electric motor not shown on the figure, and thus the rotary movement of the combustion chamber is ensured. The gearwheel 6 is connected to the combustion chamber 1 and casing 2 unit with hook catches 29.
Air from the ducts 26 and 27 is fed through openings 10 in the combustion chamber 1. Separation of the air volume into individual ducts is performed by a system of openings in the gearwheel 6 and the compensating and pressure plate 7 and appropriate openings 14 and 15 covered by the screen 11 using rotation of the gearwheel 12.
Fuel feeder duct 8 may be equipped with secondary air aeration openings 32, 33 and 36. The secondary air is fed by an aerating duct 16 inside the worm feeder 9, which may be equipped with an ending with injector openings 35 to ensure aftercombustion of some flue gases. The openings 36 in the fuel feeder duct 8 wall are used to create a stream which prevents gases from flowing towards the fuel inlet. The aeration openings 32 and 36 may be covered by the screen 23 and 39 in order to adjust the air stream volume.
The burner is equipped with a blower chamber 24 dosed by the main plate 5, bulkhead plate 37 and casing plate 38, into which air is forced from the fan 17.
In the blower chamber 24 a fuel feeder duct 8 and an ignition heater, as well as a unit for dividing the air into primary air and secondary air are located.
Primary air is understood to be air fed under the combusted bed and passes through the bed, whereas secondary air is the air fed over the bed into the flame zone, used for aftercombustion of the volatile parts.
The primary air ducts 26 and the secondary air ducts 27 are used to supply air to the bed 25. The ducts change their function due to rotation, acting as primary air duets when under the bed and as secondary air ducts when moving above the bed as a result of rotation.
The combustion chamber 1 rotates during operation along with its casing 2, and this unit is placed on the gearwheel 6 placed on two cage bearings 18 placed axially in relation to the combustion chamber axis 1.
The combustion chamber 1 with its casing 2 has a structure which enables its rapid assembly and disassembly using catch hooks 29 and is locked with a locking element 20 according to
