Abstract
Abstract A heating boiler comprises separate furnaces for oil and solid fuel. The oil combustion chamber can be connected directly to flues in contact with water via an afterburning chamber (11) common to the two furnaces. The connection (22) between the oil-combustion chamber (8) and the afterburner chamber can be shut off by a damper (25). Instead a connection is opened between the oil combustion chamber and the furnace (9) for solid fuel via an ash compartment and a grate (20) under the furnace for solid fuel. Through the arrangement with the damper (25) a number of possible variations can be obtained depending on the actual heat requirements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
In a heating boiler for combined firing with liquid fuel and/or solid fuel, comprising a liquid fuel combustion chamber, a solid fuel combustion chamber having a grate, at least one flue in communication with said chambers and in contact with water, and at least the walls of the solid fuel combustion chamber in contact with water, the improvement comprising a first connection between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said flue, a second connection between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said solid fuel combustion chamber, closure means for closing said first connection while opening said second connection to couple said combustion chambers in series through said grate, and for closing said second connection while opening said first connection, whereby the available fuels can be adapted to the heat requirements of said boiler.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
In a heating boiler for combined firing with liquid fuel and/or solid fuel, comprising a liquid fuel combustion chamber, a solid fuel combustion chamber having a grate, at least one flue in communication with said chambers and in contact with water, and at least the walls of the solid fuel combustion chamber in contact with water, the improvement comprising a first connection between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said flue, a second connection between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said solid fuel combustion chamber, closure means for closing said first connection while opening said second connection to couple said combustion chambers in series through said grate, and for closing said second connection while opening said first connection, whereby the available fuels can be adapted to the heat requirements of said boiler.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
Boiler of claim 1, wherein said closure means is a damper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
Boiler of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said boiler further includes an afterburner chamber communicating with said chambers, said solid fuel combustion chamber is of the under combustion type, and further including secondary air feed means for feeding secondary air to said afterburner chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
Boiler of claim 3, wherein said afterburner chamber is located between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said flue, and said first connection is connected to said afterburner chamber to provide gaseous communication between said liquid fuel combustion chamber and said afterburner chamber.
