Abstract
Abstract Cyclonic incinerators can be improved in operation by the use of two rows of air injection nozzles of different sizes, one row supplying high velocity air, tangentially and continuously to the combustion zone. To further improve efficiency the flue from the incinerator should have a reduced diameter and provide a sharp cutoff to centrifugally retain small unburned particulates in the combustion zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
A cyclonic incinerator capable of burning chemical wastes comprising: a. a cylindrically shaped combustion chamber, b. feeding means for introducing waste to be burned into one area of said chamber, said area being near one end of the chamber, c. a first row of convergent nozzles parallel to the axis of the combustion chamber, said nozzles capable of directing air into said area of the chamber in a direction tangentially with respect to the circumference of the chamber, d. means for adjusting the rate of air flow from said first row of nozzles in relation to the amount of waste introduced into the chamber or the temperature within the chamber, e. a second row of convergent nozzles parallel to the axis of the combustion chamber and spaced apart from the first row, said nozzles being smaller in diameter than the nozzles in the first row and capable of directing a fixed amount of air tangentially into said area of the combustion chamber at such a velocity to maintain turbulence in said chamber, and f. in the opposite end of the chamber from said area wherein the waste and air are introduced, an exit means for exhausting the gases created by combustion in an axial direction, said exit being smaller in diameter than the chamber, being centered on the axial center line of the chamber, and forming an angle with the end of the chamber.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The cyclonic incinerator of claim 1 with a burner means in the end of the chamber nearest said area wherein the waste and air are introduced.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
161 words
In a cyclonic incinerator having a cylindrically shaped combustion chamber, means for introducing waste into one area of said chamber, and exit means for exhausting the combustion gases, the improvement comprising a first row of convergent nozzles parallel to the axis of the combustion chamber, said nozzles capable of directing air into said area of the chamber in a direction tangentially with respect to the circumference of the chamber; means for adjusting the rate of air flow from said first row of nozzles in relation to the amount of waste introduced into the chamber or the temperature within the chamber; and second row of convergent nozzles parallel to the axis of the combustion chamber and spaced apart from the first row, said nozzles being smaller in diameter than the nozzles in the first row and capable of directing a fixed amount of air tangentially into said area of the combustion chamber at such a velocity to maintain turbulence in said chamber.
