Definitions

  • the subject of invention is a gasified biofuel burner, especially intended for wood pellets or other fine granulated ecological fuel.
  • the burner is a heat source for different types of receivers: furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, sauna heaters, air heaters and other heat technology devices with power up to approx. 500kW.
  • the grate in the furnace chamber is mounted tilting in a beam-scales system balancing grate dead load (with the required quantity of pellets) by a balance weight placed on a second arm of balance beam. Deflection moment from a balance position initiates a signal to a programmed control module and work interruption of a pellet feeder. Grate bottom wall is opened by a cleaning mechanism actuator which allows for periodic gravitational removal of slag, cinder and other non-combusted remains to an ash pan.
  • An air electric igniter outlet has been connected to the grate bottom zone. In a starting phase, this igniter presses the air at a temperature of about 600 - 700°C.
  • the grate there is a built-in perforated barrier which divides the pellet combustion zone from the wood gas inlet to a jet burner.
  • the fill pipe is covered by a secondary air free suction pipe to the jet burner by an air chamber divided above the furnace chamber.
  • a weight pellet level adjustment system on the grate is imprecise and burdened with errors of the mass of remains stuck to the grate which incompletely drop away when the bottom wall is periodically opened and there is variable resistance of beam-scales tilting.
  • Optoelectronic transmitter and receiver are built-in at the ends of pipe channels led out to the outside of the body side walls where they are set with crevices which allow for connecting pipe channels with surroundings. In conditions of negative pressure which occurs in the furnace chamber, it ensures the required cooling of sensor's elements in suctioned air streams.
  • the burner solution according to this invention concerns many features common with the solutions described above.
  • the grate movable wall which is a uniform element composed of the rear wall joined with the bottom wall at an obtuse angle.
  • the front edge of the bottom wall adheres to the bottom edge of the front wall.
  • the axis of revolution has been mounted to the rear wall, in bearings in side walls of the grate and it is driven by the cleaning mechanism actuator.
  • the corner zone of connection of both walls has been cut by air gaps directed perpendicular to the axis of revolution.
  • Behind the rear wall a cleaning comb with teeth is placed in such a way that after rotation of the movable wall to the extreme position of grate opening they permeate the air gaps of the movable wall.
  • the front wall is bulged from the lower edge by an internal radius led from the axis of revolution and the upper edge of the rear wall in case of movable wall rotation circles an arc with a radius smaller than a movable crevice from the internal bulge radius.
  • burner teeth friction edges of the cleaning comb are tilted to the direction of a radius led from the axis of revolution, in the side view, at best according to an upper wheel quarter curvature.
  • Biofuel level sensor transmitters and receivers are placed at pipe casings perforated with holes on sections projecting from casing side walls, and by their other ends led through side wall thermal insulation layers of the casing to the furnace chamber area, in coaxial positions with holes in side walls of the grate.
  • the burner has the rear wall with an air gap nozzle directed to the grate bottom wall and the front wall in the middle of its bulge width has a cavity opened towards the grate, joined by a cable with a blowing igniter built into the side wall of the body.
  • the axis of revolution should preferably be connected with the actuator by a slipping clutch.
  • An essential improvement of the combustion process in the burner according to the invention is to use at the pipe inlet the secondary air of a forced draught fan whose controlled operation optimizes the composition of the gas mixture combusted in the jet burner.
  • the burner according to the invention assures automatic combustion process with high precision of feeding, an effect of process efficiency higher than 90% and low emission of noxious compounds to the atmosphere.
  • Precision in conducting the combustion process is obtained by using a signals of lower level sensor in the software to control the work of the igniter, biofuel feeder and the grate cleaning mechanism actuator and upper sensor signals - for ongoing feeder and upper biofuel level operation control.
  • the use of infra-red detectors operating in different communication codes, in different frequencies of electromagnetic waves eliminates possible occurrence of errors in signal receiving.
  • the burner has the casing (1) in which the furnace chamber (2) is built-in. It is the "g” wooden gas generator which is connected to the jet burner (3) and combusted after mixing with the "p" secondary air.
  • the jet burner (3) extends from the casing front wall (1) and through a mounting plate (4) is inserted into the space of the furnace chamber equipped with a combustion exhaust gas suction fan.
  • the furnace chamber (2) has the basket grate (5) powered gravitationally by "bp" pellets through the vertical fill pipe (6) which is connected with a screw-conveyor not shown in the figure.
  • the fill pipe (6) has been covered by a secondary air pipe (7) which has a forced draught fan (8) built-in at the inlet.
  • the secondary air pipe (7) is connected with the jet burner (3) by an air chamber (9) above the furnace chamber (2).
  • the basket grate (5) is limited by fixed walls: two side walls (10) and the front wall (11) and the movable wall which is a uniform element composed of horizontal bottom wall (12) and oblique rear wall (13) rigidly connected at an "a" obtuse angle of approx. 130°.
  • the "kd" front edge of the bottom wall (12) in the "A" extreme closed position of the grate (5) adheres to the "kp" lower edge of the front wall (11).
  • the axis of revolution (14) is mounted, in bearings in the side walls (10) of the basket grate (5) and driven by the slipping clutch (15) and the actuator (16) of the motoreducer, mounted on the side wall of the casing (1).
  • the rear wall (13) has a crevice air nozzle (17), placed parallel and below the axis of revolution (14) and directed to the bottom wall (12) of the basket grate (5).
  • the corner zone of the bottom wall (12) connection with the rear wall (13) is cut by air gaps (18) directed perpendicular to the axis of revolution (14).
  • the cleaning comb (19) with teeth (20) is placed according to air gaps (18) graduation.
  • the front wall (11) has a bulge (22) circled by the "r2" internal radius from the axis of revolution (14), whereas the "kt" upper edge of the rear wall (13) in case of the rotation circles an arc with "r1" radius smaller by “s” moving crevice than the "r2" internal radius of the bulge (22).
  • the front wall (11) in the middle of the bulge (22) width has a cavity (23) opened into the space of the grate (5), connected by a cable (24) with a blowing igniter (25) built-in on the side wall of the body (1).
  • the lower level sensor (28) which operates at 36 kHz frequency has a measuring circuit located directly above the middle of the bottom wall (12) while the upper level sensor (29) which emits the electromagnetic wave at a frequency of 40 kHz is built-in nearby the "kt" upper edge of the rear wall (13) in the position of closed "A" basket grate (5) and under the fill pipe (6).
  • the transmitters (30) and the receivers (31) of the level sensors (28 and 29) are placed at both sides of the casing (1) in the pipe casings (32) perforated with holes at sections projecting from the side walls of the casing (1).
  • the pipe casings (32) are carried by thermal insulation layers (33) of the casing (1) to the furnace chamber (2) space, in coaxial positions with holes (34) in the side walls (10) of the basket grate (5).
  • the programmed control module (26) starts the pellet feeder and the blowing igniter (25) as soon as it receives a "start" signal. After receiving the signal from the lower level of the sensor (28), the feeding will be stopped, and the subsequent loss of signal, which proves the lighting of pellets, initiates the turning off of the igniter (25) and the restart of feeding up to the signal level from the upper sensor (29).
  • the controller maintains the pellet level between the lower (28) and upper (29) sensors. Simultaneously, the signals from the upper sensor (29) which capture single dropping pellets confirm information on the correct operation of the feeder.
  • the software enforces cleaning activities of the air gaps (18) of the grate (5) by stoving the pellet layers and rotating the movable wall (12 and 13).
