FURNACE CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A horizontal trough accommodates a body of water and has two transversely spaced lateral sides one of which is provided with an edge. A substantially vertical discharge chute has an upper endportion into which slag and other combustion residue from a furnace is permitted to enter and a lower endportion with an outlet through which the residue enters into the trough. The lower endportion is bounded by two transversely spaced walls one of which is closer to the first edge and the other of which is closer to the second edge of the trough, with the other wall being vertically movable with reference to the stationary upper portion of the chute. A pusher pushes residue out of the trough, beneath the vertically movable wall and over the free edge of the trough.
