摘要： A material processing apparatus includes a casing having outer and inner spaced walls forming an airtight vessel inside of the inner walls and a channel between the outer and inner walls surrounding the vessel for containing a flow of coolant fluid. The vessel contains a first chamber having an inlet and a second chamber connected in communication with the first chamber and having an outlet. The first chamber receives materials through its inlet. The materials are pyrolyzed in the first chamber. The second chamber receives the pyrolyzed materials from the first chamber. The pyrolyzed materials are oxidized in the second chamber and then discharged therefrom. The vessel defined by the casing is separated into first and second units. The first chamber of the vessel for pyrolyzing materials is disposed in the first unit. The second chamber of the vessel has primary and secondary sections for oxidizing materials in two successive stages. The first chamber and the primary section of the second chamber are disposed in the first unit, whereas the secondary section of the second chamber is disposed in the second unit.

摘要： An air inlet valve subassembly for use on a particle fuel burning furnace includes a manifold tube and a hollow spout mounted to an outer end of the manifold tube. The spout has an outer rim defining a valve opening and the manifold tube is adapted to be mounted at its inner end to the furnace to provide a passageway for communicating air from the valve opening into the furnace. A valve flap is mounted adjacent to the spout for pivotal movement toward and away from the spout between closed and open positions in which the manifold tube passageway is closed and opened to the communication of air. For sealing the valve opening, a generally planar, resiliently flexible disk with an annular ring of gasket material adhered thereon is provided. The disk, preferably made of stainless steel material, is removably mounted to the valve flap at the respective centers thereof with its outer side facing toward the flap and its inner side facing toward the spout rim. The gasket material ring is affixed on the inner side of the disk and is capable of contacting the spout rim for providing an air seal between the disk and the spout rim when the valve flap is at its closed position. At least one wedge-shaped shim is insertable between the valve flap and the outer side of the planar disk to deflect the disk periphery and cause matching of the gasket material contour with the contour of the spout rim. An actuator is linked to the valve flap and is operable to cause movement of the flap between its closed and opened positions.

摘要： A particle fuel burning furnace has an upper combustion chamber for holding a pile of particle fuel and burning the same from the bottom thereof. The furnace also includes a lower combustion chamber for afterburning combustible gases given off by the burning of solid fuel in the upper chamber and a series of spaced apart vertically-extending passageways arranged in a row and interconnecting the upper and lower chambers for communicating the combustible gases from the upper to the lower chamber. A first improved feature relates to a particle fuel delivery control device which operates an auger for filling the upper chamber with particle fuel to a desired level. A beam of light is transmitted and reflected between a photoelectric cell and reflector respectively of the device. When the particle fuel pile has grown in height during filling to the desired level the light beam is interrupted and filling is terminated. A second improved feature relates to a particle fuel diversion structure positioned in space relationship above and overlying the row of passageways. The structure forms a horizontal slot which extends laterally from the passageways which prevents particles of fuel from falling through the passageways and relocates the flame which burns the particle fuel pile from the bottom to a region away from the passageways.

摘要： A material processing apparatus includes a casing having a pyrolysis chamber for receiving and pyrolyzing feed materials therein into fluid materials and a mass of refractory material contained in the casing upon the bottom thereof and spaced from the top thereof. The refractory mass extends between the opposite ends and sides of the casing and includes an upper surface defining a bottom of the pyrolysis chamber. The upper surface is defined in an inclined orientation extending between the opposite ends of the chamber. The refractory mass has an elongated cavity extending along one end of the casing and adjacent to a lower end of the upper inclined surface. An elongated residue collection pan is disposed in the cavity and is removable through an opening in a side of the casing. Elongated heating units are disposed in the pyrolysis chamber above and generally parallel to the cavity and upper inclined surface for producing heating therein to cause pyrolyzing of the feed materials into fluid materials.
