Abstract:
A gas incinerator comprising: a base portion having lower wall means defining a lower chamber, aperture means in the lower wall means, through which combustion air can flow from outside the incinerator into the lower chamber, an upper portion having upper wall means defining a combustion chamber in communication with said lower chamber, the combustion chamber having, remote from the lower chamber, an opening through which products of combustion can exit from the combustion chamber, vane means within said lower chamber, the vane means being configured so as to impart a cyclonic movement in one rotary direction to air moving upwardly from the lower chamber to the combustion chamber, nozzle means for injecting gas into the combustion chamber in such a direction as to impart, to the injected gas, a cyclonic movement in the rotary direction opposite to said one rotary direction, while avoiding promotion of gas movement out through said opening, and ignition means for igniting a mixture of gas and combustion air in the combustion chamber, thereby causing combustion air to be drawn into the lower chamber and thence to pass upwardly into the combustion chamber to mix with the gas, the vane means imparting said cyclonic movement in one rotary direction to the upwardly moving air while the nozzle means creates in the injected gas the said cyclonic movement in the opposite rotary direction, resulting in a thorough mixing of the air with the gas.
