Burning apparatus having bulk material layer to reduce particulate matter

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for, in particular low-emission, burning of (solid) fuels, in particular with visible fire, preferably a fireplace and/or stove and/or stove fireplace, comprising a section for receiving a bulk material, preferably an air turbulence chamber, which is designed for the purpose of guiding an air mass flow in at least one direction through the bulk material; and receiving the bulk material in such a way that the air mass flow experiences turbulence through the bulk material, the turbulence slowing down the air mass flow along the at least one direction, and making the air mass flow slowed down in this way available for burning of the (solid) fuel, in particular such that the burning is carried out with little particulate matter.

1 . A device for burning of a fuel, comprising:
 a section for receiving a bulk material, which is designed for:
 guiding an air mass flow in at least one direction through the bulk material, and 
 receiving the bulk material in such a way that the air mass flow experiences turbulence through the bulk material, the turbulence slowing down the air mass flow along the at least one direction, and 
 making the air mass flow slowed down in this way available for burning of the fuel. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a section for installation of the device.   
     
     
         3 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a section for receiving a fuel.   
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a section for light emission.   
     
     
         5 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an apparatus for collecting ash.   
     
     
         6 . The device as claimed in  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a grid, which separates the section for receiving the bulk material from the section for receiving the fuel and/or is arranged within the section for the installation and/or the section for receiving the bulk material, in such a manner that the bulk material can be arranged on the grid and/or substantially within the section for receiving the bulk material.   
     
     
         7 . The device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein
 the grid has at least one handle:   with which the grid is movable at least partially and/or in sections, and/or   which is connected to a vibrating rod in such a way that, when actuated, the bulk material is shaken in such a way that ash within the bulk material enters the apparatus for collecting ash.   
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an opening.   
     
     
         9 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a number of vibrating rods which lie substantially parallel to one another and which are movable vertically by a predetermined extent, wherein the extent is predetermined by a groove in which the vibrating rods lie with their ends, and wherein at least one movement member is formed below the vibrating rods, which movement member is movable transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the vibrating rods in order to move the vibrating rods vertically. 
     
     
         10 . The device as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that the movement member is connected to a rack, which is movable back and forth along the vibrating rods by a drive of a pinion, which engages in the rack. 
     
     
         11 . The device as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that the movement of a grid or the movement of the vibrating rods causes the bulk material located thereon to be moved, and the movement of the bulk material causes the fuel located thereon to be ground, and the ground carbon can fall into an apparatus for collecting the ash. 
     
     
         12 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the bulk material comprises a first number of a first bulk material of a first diameter and a first weight and a second number of a second bulk material of a different diameter and a different weight. 
     
     
         13 . The device as claimed in  claim 3 , characterized in that one or more temperature sensors is or are formed in the section for receiving the bulk material and/or in the section for receiving the fuel, said one or more temperature sensors detecting a temperature and being connected to a controller which determines a measured temperature value and, depending on the measured temperature value, processes whether a degassing process is completed, and the controller is designed to control a motor in order to trigger a back and forth movement of at least one movement member. 
     
     
         14 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the device is for low-emission burning of the fuel with visible fire;   the device comprises a fireplace, a stove or a stove fireplace;   the section for receiving the bulk material comprises an air turbulence chamber; and   making the air mass flow slowed down causes the burning to be carried out with little particulate matter.   
     
     
         15 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the section comprises a stand, which is arranged below the section for receiving the bulk material. 
     
     
         16 . The device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the section comprises a combustion chamber, which is arranged above the section for receiving the bulk material. 
     
     
         17 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the section for light emission comprises a sight glass surrounding the visible fire, wherein the sight glass is arranged above the section for receiving the bulk material and/or above a section for receiving a fuel. 
     
     
         18 . The device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the apparatus for collecting ash comprises a removable ash drawer, which is arranged within the section for the installation and/or is movable horizontally. 
     
     
         19 . The device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the grid comprises rods. 
     
     
         20 . The device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the opening is for generating the air mass flow, which is arranged below the section for receiving the fuel, and in the section for the installation.
