DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] The burner has a rotary combustion chamber 1. Which is placed on a casing pipe 2 with a ring 3 closing the front of the burner and with ribs 4, and as a unit is connected to a gearwheel 6, which is powered by a gearwheel of the transmission gear 13 with electric motor not shown on the figure. The rotary movement of the combustion chamber 1 is thus ensured.

[0032] Moreover the chamber from the drive side is closed by a permanent wallcompensating and pressure plate 7, in which an opening is located, to which pellet fuel feeder duct 8 and an ignition heater hot air injection duct are connected.

[0033] The fuel in pellet form is fed into the combustion chamber 1 through the fuel feeder duct 8 using a worm feeder 9.

[0034] The burner is equipped with a blower chamber 24 closed by a main plate 5, bulkhead plate 37 and casing plate 38, into which is forced from the fan 17.

[0035] In the blower chamber 24 a fuel feeder duct and an ignition heater, as well as a unit for dividing the air into primary air and secondary air are located, not shown on the figure.

[0036] The combustion chamber 1 is fed with fuel through the fuel feeder duct 8, which may be equipped with a secondary air aeration openings, whereas the secondary air is fed by the aeration duct 16 inside the worm feeder 9, which may be equipped with an ending with injector tip with openings 35 to ensure aftercombustion of some flue gases.

[0037] Openings 36 in the fuel feeder duct 8 wall, covered by screen 39 are used to create a stream which prevents gases from flowing towards the fuel inlet. Aeration openings 10 deliver air to the combustion chamber 1, and the openings 32 which supply air to chamber 1 may be covered by the screen 23 in order to adjust the air stream volume.

[0038] The chamber's support by the gearwheel 6 is provided with two ball bearings 18 placed on one side on the burner permanent main plate 5, and on the other side on a permanent compensating and pressure plate 7 with spring-adjustable pressure.

[0039] The rotary combustion chamber 1 which is placed on a casing pipe 2 with a ring 3 closing the front of the burner and with ribs 4 forms a unit connected to a gearwheel 6, which is powered by a gearwheel 13 of the transmission gear with electric motor not shown on the figure, and thus the rotary movement of the combustion chamber is ensured. The gearwheel 6 is connected to the combustion chamber 1 and casing 2 unit with hook catches 29.

[0040] Air from the ducts 26 and 27 is fed through openings 10 in the combustion chamber 1. Separation of the air volume into individual ducts is performed by a system of openings in the gearwheel 17 and the compensating and pressure plate 7 and appropriate openings 14 and 15 covered by the screen 11 using rotation of the gearwheel 12.

[0041] Fuel feeder duct 8 may be equipped with a secondary air aeration openings 32, 33 and 36. Whereas the secondary air is fed by an aerating duct 16 inside the worm feeder 9, which may be equipped with an ending with injector openings 35 to ensure aftercombustion of some flue gases. Whereas the openings 36 in the fuel feeder duct 8 wall are used to create a stream which prevents gases from flowing towards the fuel inlet. Whereas the aeration openings 32 and 36 may be covered by the screen 23 and 39 in order to adjust the air stream volume.

[0042] The burner is equipped with a blower chamber 24 dosed by the main plate 5, bulkhead plate 37 and casing plate 38, into which air is forced from the fan 17.

[0043] In the blower chamber 24 a fuel feeder duct 8 and an ignition heater, as well as a unit for dividing the air into primary air and secondary air are located.

[0044] Primary air is understood to be air fed under the combusted bed and passes through the bed, whereas secondary air is the air fed over the bed into the flame zone, used for aftercombustion of the volatile parts.

[0045] The primary air ducts 26 and the secondary air ducts 27 are used to supply air to the bed 25. The ducts change their function due to rotation, acting as primary air duets when under the bed and as secondary air ducts when moving above the bed as a result of rotation.

[0046] The combustion chamber 1 rotates during operation along with its casing 2, and this unit is placed on the gearwheel 6 placed on two cage bearings 18 placed axially in relation to the combustion chamber axis 1.

[0047] The combustion chamber 1 with its casing 2 has a structure which enables its rapid assembly and disassembly using catch hooks 29 and may be locked with a locking element 20 according to FIG. 6 and may also have a version according to FIG. 8.

[0048] The combustion chamber 1 also has a protective element 30 FIG. 6 which protects the combustion chamber against sliding out and which enables the transmission of its rotation together with the casing 2 using the rib 28.

[0049] The fuel feeder duct 8 in the fuel discharging section to the combustion chamber 1 is equipped with iteration openings 36 which ensure swirling on the circumference of the fuel feeder duct's 8 cylinder generator line. The slotted openings may be equipped with versions acc. to FIG. 9 in the form oblique, parallel or perpendicular to the cylinder generator line.

[0050] The aeration openings 36 and 32 acc. to FIG. 9 may be covered by screens, respectively 39 and 23 by sliding them along the fuel feed duct 8 axis or by their rotation on the cylinder part of this duct.

[0051] The fuel worm feeder 9 may have in its axis an aerating duct 16 with an afterburner ending with holes 35. The worm elements may be constructed of metal or ceramics.

[0052] The fuel feeder worm 9 may have in its axis an aerating duct 16 with an afterburner ending with a bell ending version (open).

[0053] Adjustment of the amount of secondary air to primary air is performed through throttling the flow of air with openings 14 and 15 fed into the secondary air ducts by decreasing or increasing the inner diameter of the openings using the diaphragm 11 moved by the gearwheel 12.

[0054] The main plate 5 and the bulkhead plate 37 of the blower chamber 24 are equipped with slotted openings 40acc. to FIG. 10 on the line connecting them to casing plate 38, which is equipped with splines 41 which enter the plates and fix the position of these elements.

[0055] Rotary combustion chamber 1 may be also made of heat-resistant steel or of ceramics.

[0056] The combustion chamber 1 rotates during operation along with its casing 2, and this unit is mounted on gearwheel 6.
