A combustor 10 is suitable for burning fuel and heating water. At the heart of the combustor 10 is a ceramic-walled combustion chamber 12 where fuel is burned to produce heat. Flames and combustion gases enter a reaction chamber 14 in the direction of Arrow A, and then they pass along pipes 16 of a heat exchanger in which heat is transferred to water 18 which is pumped into and subsequently out of tanks that surround the heat exchanger pipes 16. The cooler combustion gases then enter a twin cyclone separator 20, in which any remaining particulates are removed, before the gases either re-circulate the combustion chamber or are expelled at an exhaust 22. |
