A furnace including a combustion chamber for burning fuel can have increased fuel burning efficiency, increased heating efficiency, and decreased harmful emissions of combustion byproducts. A combustion air delivery system delivers primary and secondary combustion air to the combustion chamber. Primary and secondary combustion air may be delivered at amounts that increase burning efficiency. An amount of secondary combustion air can be controlled by a valve system. A heat transfer device efficiently transfers heat from products of combustion for heating an enclosed space.

This invention relates in general to a pellet-fired smoker which includes a housing having a smoke chamber defined within it. A hopper holding pellet fuel supplies pellets through one or more augers to one or more fire pots configured to enhance smoking a food product by increasing the smoke flowing to a food product at various cooking temperatures.

A water-cooled column (4) used in a circulating fluidized bed boiler furnace is disclosed, wherein the water-cooled column is formed by connecting membrane water-cooled walls (41). The water-cooled column (4) includes a lower section (A), an upper section and a transition section. The lower section (A) is a single column and is provided with inner secondary air ports (400) on a side wall thereof. The upper section includes a plurality of sub-columns (B, C). The membrane water-cooled walls at the lower section (A) extend to the upper section through the transition section. Each of the sub-columns (B, C) is formed by connecting extension portions extending upward from respective membrane water-cooled walls (41) in the membrane water-cooled walls (41), which are connected to form the lower section (A), and the plurality of sub-columns (B, C) are separated from each other.

A burner includes a hot gas zone and an outer zone, a primary air feed line, a secondary air feed line, and a fuel feed line. The secondary air feed line includes three concentric cylindrical tubes. The fuel feed line is arranged concentrically around the secondary air feed line. A first dead volume exists inside the burner between the secondary air feed line and the fuel feed line. The fuel feed line has a nozzle construction on the hot gas side. A second dead volume is arranged between the secondary air feed line and the fuel feed line on the outer side zone. The primary air feed line is arranged concentrically around the fuel feed line.
