Method and device for controlling spontaneous combustion in cremation installations

摘要

Method of automatically controlling the spontaneous combustion reaction of an organic body in an incineration furnace (1) comprising in particular a combustion chamber and a post-combustion chamber, means of injecting air and water (25, 26, 22) and a discharge chimney (24), characterised in that it comprises the continuous analysis of the opacity of the combustion smoke and the continuous measurement of the internal temperature of the furnace so that exceeding reference values for temperature and opacity causes respectively the reduction in the rate of injection of air (25) into the combustion chamber and/or the triggering of the injection of water by pulverisation onto the organic body until the conditions of the reaction return to normal.
