Combustion of hot gases of low calorific power

Claim 1

A combustion chamber for the complete combustion of hot gases of low calorific value, comprising: a. a chamber having a vertical wall, a base and top, said vertical wall disposed between said base and top, b. a chimney connected to the top of the wall for the discharge of combustion productions from the chamber, c. a base plate associated with the base of said chamber, d. at least one burner upwardly directed associated with the base plate and having a nozzle arranged to supply gas at a pressure close to atmospheric pressure and means for force supplying said primary air, e. said base plate including for each of said at least one burner, peripheral oblique convergent nozzles directed to a point situated above the burner and comprising means for force supplying said secondary air, f. distribution means for distribution of combustion air flow in two parts, one part directed to the burner and the other part to the peripheral nozzles, g. first regulating means operable to control the flow of air for combustion depending on the temperature in the vicinity of the top of the chamber, and second regulating means operable to control the distribution of the flow of primary air and the flow of secondary air depending on the flame temperature.
