Infrasound generator for enhancing the combustion of solid fuels
The invention refers to an infrasound generator for enhancing the combustion of solid fuels burning in a combustion chamber. The infrasound is generated by one or more set(-s) of each two vibrating plates, vibrating in the same direction with the same displacement amplitude but in antiphase. The infrasound generator does not cause vibrations and is not sensitive to ash and heat from the combustion.
Heating Device Using Wood Fuel
The utility model relates to thermal power engineering, particularly to heating devices in which wood fuel undergoes high-temperature gasification (pyrolysis). The problem which the claimed utility model addresses is that of the consistent and environmentally clean combustion of wood fuel possessing a natural (that is, high) moisture content. The technical result is achieved in that the device includes a vertically-oriented additional gas duct through which the moisture contained in the fuel is removed in the form of of steam from the upper part of a fuel hopper to a flame in an afterburn chamber, wherein carbon monoxide mixed with steam is burned off and does not enter the atmosphere.
Highly efficient wood stove/heater
A highly efficient indoor heating system and device is described. The device is equipped with an internal chimney, as well as vents that are configured to maximize the draft applied to the flame housed within a stove combustion area. The heater is configured to reach temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately ten minutes. A gravity fed fuel tube, potentially in communication with a wood pellet hopper, is configured to deliver fuel to the stove of the heater. Heat is distributed throughout the structure of the device, and a convection chamber within the device ensures that heat generated is not quickly lost via exhaust.

ELECTRONIC CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL DEVICE FOR FIREPLACES COMPRISING A LOWER COMBUSTION SYSTEM
The aim is to create a facility which is carried out without operator intervention, operates without delay, does not require a connection to the mains and meets the requirements of the regulations on permissible pollutant emissions. The device consists of a control unit which is electrically connected to two temperature sensors and a door contact switch and actuates an actuator via an electric motor and transmission elements. The temperature detection in the flue takes place behind the outlet of the respective combustion chamber. The temperature sensors record the temperature change over time and the speed of the temperature change. The temperature target-actual evaluation serves to record the burning state of the solid fuel. The degree of the outgassing process is carried out by recording and evaluating the temperature rise or temperature drop over time. The target-actual temperature over time in comparison with comparative values for combustion optimization is carried out as an adaptive system. Thus, the respective nature of the solid fuel for the optimal combustion process is taken into account and the necessity of the new feed with solid fuel is determined via the program and displayed via a visual signaling device. The device is used for electronic control for a fireplace with lower burn.

Advanced ultra supercritical steam generator
A supercritical steam generator includes a downdraft furnace enclosure, a hopper tunnel, and a convection pass enclosure, with the hopper tunnel joining the downdraft furnace enclosure and convection pass enclosure together. Flue gas passes down through the downdraft furnace enclosure through the hopper tunnel and up through the convection pass enclosure. This structure permits the outlet steam terminals, which provide access to the resultant supercritical steam and/or reheat steam, to be located at a base of the steam generator rather than at the top of the steam generator as with conventional boilers. This reduces the length of the steam leads from the steam generator to a steam turbine that produces electricity using the supercritical steam.
