In a fluid heating apparatus using a slagging or non-slagging pulse combustion system, a boiler (20) is in communication with a pulse combustion means (10). Boiler (20) includes a main fire tube (40) (Morrison tube) and a number of boiler tube conduits (41) for circulation of the hot gases for heating. Fluid to be heated enters boiler (20) through a fluid inlet means (30), with steam exiting through fluid outlet means (35). Fluid inlet means (30) allows water to enter the fluid treating vessel and fluid outlet means (35) allows steam to exit. Additionally, as shown, water may exit vessel (20) feeding a water jacket (17) around a portion of pulse combustor means (10) through line (31), with steam exiting jacket (17) and being routed to boiler (20) via line (36). Pulse combustor means (10) includes a valve means (12) which may be an aerodynamic valve (fluidic diode), a mechanical valve or the like, a combustion chamber (14) and one or more tailpipes or resonance tubes (16). Additionally, pulse combustor means (10) may include an air plenum (18) and a thrust augmenter. |
