Abstract
An incinerator for burning garbage has a combustion chamber and an after-burner chamber. The top wall of the combustion chamber has an open loading aperture therein. An air curtain of over-fire combustion air is provided below the loading aperture, to prevent exhaust of gases and suspended solids through the loading aperture, by means of a slot jet extending the length of the combustion chamber and directing a stream of air across the chamber. This air is also used as combustion air, along with under-fire air supplied to the bottom of the chamber and further air supplied to the after-burner chamber. Efficient combustion air flow patterns are established reducing the over-all requirement for combustion air in the incinerator of the invention.
