BIOMASS COMBUSTION DEVICE WITH A THERMOELECTRIC-POWERED CONTROL

摘要

A thermoelectrically-powered combustion control device or a stove add-on unit for insertion into an open door of a combustion chamber. The combustion control device and add-on unit include a reentrant tube entering the opening and extending into an interior region of the combustion chamber inside the interior wall and above the opening, a blower configured to force air through the reentrant tube and inject air into the interior region of the combustion chamber, a thermoelectric element which supplies power to the blower, and a control unit programmed to control power to the blower such that air is injected into the interior region of the combustion chamber above a first predetermined rate which induces turbulent mixing of the air with combustion products produced from burning the fuel and below a second predetermined rate where excess air beyond the second predetermined rate compromises carbon emission.
