Embodiments of the invention relate to a grate bar front section and a matching grate bar rear section and to a grate bar including the grate bar front section and/or the grate bar rear section configured such that, by releasably connecting the grate bar front section to the grate bar rear section, manufacture and maintenance costs are reduced.

The plate-formed grate element (1, 2) has a top wall (12), a bottom wall (13), a front end (14) and a back end (15). The front end has a lower inwardly curved wall portion (16) adapted to maintain a predetermined clearance with a back tip edge of a corresponding grate element. An internal cooling fluid chamber (18) includes an internal front cooling fluid channel (19) extending along the front end (14) of the grate element. The grate element has an outwardly curved front wall (22) having a nominal wall thickness varying by less than +35 percent and extending from the top wall of the grate element to the lower inwardly curved wall portion of the front end, and a front tip edge (23) of the front end is formed by the outwardly curved front wall at its connection with the lower inwardly curved wall portion.

A cooling system for a grate bar of an incinerator of solid materials is provided includes a feed grate having a plurality of grate bars, at least one of the grate bars including a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end and a second end, a first aperture in the body and a second aperture in the body, and an internal passageway defined within the body and fluidly connecting the first aperture to the second aperture, the first aperture arranged to receive a gas therethrough into the body, and the second aperture arranged to provide an egress for the gas out of the body. The cooling system further includes a manifold duct fluidly coupled to the second aperture for receiving the gas from the second aperture. The gas is independent of the primary combustion air of the incinerator.

Embodiments provide a combustion structure that can achieve stable combustion by addressing the aforementioned drawbacks in the prior art such as low flame stability, backfire, deflagration, blockage and/or any other drawbacks. The combustion chamber structure in accordance with the disclosure can include: a grate structure including a first set of elongated components, a fire retention structure including a second set of elongated components. The first set of first elongated components can be arranged along an axial direction within the combustion chamber structure. The second set of elongated components can be arranged along the axial direction in a same direction as the first elongated components. The second set of elongated components can be configured to generate a negative pressure zone within the combustion chamber. The first set of elongated components can form apertures that can be aligned with apertures formed by the second set of elongated components.
