Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat generator fueled by solid fuels, in particular fueled or capable of being fueled by two different fuels, for example wood and pellets.
  • Heat generators are known on the market which can be fueled both by wood and by pellets.
  • such generators have a combustion chamber which is accessible from outside by means of an access hatch that can be opened and closed by the user, into which the wood is placed manually.
  • a containment vessel for the pellets is also provided, which is connected, by conveyance means, to the combustion chamber, so as to allow the pellets to be fed to the combustion chamber.
  • a temporary storage vessel for the pellets is provided, into which the pellets are fed from the main vessel, normally by gravity or by way of a screw feeder.
  • the ash produced during the operation of the generator can foul not only the bottom of the combustion chamber, but also the conveyor, or the bottom of the brazier, so compromising its operation.
  • combustion chamber for wood and pellets means it is not possible to optimally manage sending and extracting air to and from the combustion chamber.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a heat generator fueled by solid fuels which is capable of improving the known art in one or more of the above-mentioned aspects.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a heat generator fueled by solid fuels that is capable of enabling optimization of the quality of combustion both of pellets and of wood.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a heat generator fueled by solid fuels that is highly reliable, easy to implement and at low cost.
  • the heat generator fueled by solid fuels according to the invention comprises a support and containment structure 2 which defines a first combustion chamber 3 for a first solid fuel 10.
  • the first combustion chamber 3 is associated with at least one access hatch 3a for loading the first solid fuel 10.
  • At least one second combustion chamber 4 is provided for a second solid fuel 11 of a different type from the first solid fuel 10.
  • the first solid fuel 10 is constituted by wood, while the second solid fuel 11 comprises pellets.
  • At least one separation wall 5 is defined which has at least one passage opening 20.
  • the second combustion chamber 4 is defined, laterally, by a lateral containment surface 4a.
  • At least one inlet 4b is provided at the lateral containment surface 4a which is connected to at least one conveyor 6 for the automatic feeding of the second solid fuel 11 to the at least one second combustion chamber 4.
  • the at least one passage opening 20 is designed to allow the passage, from the second combustion chamber 4 toward the first combustion chamber 3, of heat and air during the combustion of the second solid fuel 11, and the ash from the first combustion chamber 3 toward the second combustion chamber 4 during the combustion of the first solid fuel 10.
  • the heat generator 1 comprises means for supplying air 30 to the second combustion chamber 4.
  • Means for extracting exhaust gases 40 from the first combustion chamber 3 are also provided.
  • the means for supplying air 30 and the means for extracting exhaust gases 40 comprise means for the forced circulation of an air flow between an air extraction conduit, which leads into the second combustion chamber 4, and a flue for extracting the fumes from the first combustion chamber 3.
  • the means for forced circulation are functionally associated with an actuation and control device, which is configured to drive the means for forced circulation.
  • the heat generator 1 comprises interface means configured for the selective selection of the type of solid fuel 10, 11 to use.
  • the interface means are functionally connected to a control and actuation unit, which defines the actuation and control device, which is adapted to act, not only on the means for supplying air 30 and on the means for extracting exhaust gases 40, but also on the conveyor 6.
  • the support and containment structure 2 defines a storage vessel 7 for the second solid fuel 11.
  • the conveyor 6 is adapted to feed, on command, the second solid fuel 11 from the storage vessel 7 toward the second combustion chamber 4.
  • the first solid fuel 10 is fed manually to the first combustion chamber 3 through the at least one access hatch 3a.
  • the heat generator 1 comprises a stove.
  • the conveyor 6 comprises a screw feeder 6a.
  • the operation of the heat generator 1, according to the invention, is the following.
  • the operation of the stove is set up depending on the type of solid fuel that it is intended to use.
  • the stove If the stove is to be fueled with pellets, then it will function like a traditional stove fueled with pellets, automatically feeding the second solid fuel 11 (the pellets) to the second combustion chamber 4.
