Abstract:
A incinerator comprising:a framework, providing a front wall, a rear wall, and a plurality of elongated frames, the elongated frames being disposed between the front and the rear walls and being arranged into two opposite columns corresponding to each other, the elongated frames in each column spaced apart from each other with an equal distance to constitute a plurality of spaces, the front wall capable of being opened, and the respective elongated frame at both ends thereof being fixedly attached horizontally to the front wall and the rear wall; a liquid-vapor tank, providing a shape of an elongated box with two opposite lateral sides, the lateral sides having a flat bottom respectively to span an upper most elongated frame in each of the columns of elongated frames, a top area of the framework being occupied by the liquid-vapor tank completely, at least one exhaust pipe passing through a bottom at a middle portion thereof and extending outward vertically, at least one vapor discharge pipe next to the exhaust pipe, and a plurality of inlet ports being provided on an outer side of the lateral sides respectively; a plurality of liquid tanks, the liquid tanks each providing a shape of an elongated box respectively, the liquid tanks being disposed under the liquid-vapor tank and occupying the spaces in each of the columns of elongated frames, and a plurality of inlet ports and a plurality of outlet ports being provided at a lateral side of the respective liquid tank, the outlet ports on a respective upper most liquid tank connecting with the inlet ports on the liquid-vapor tank via a connecting pipe respectively, the inlet ports on a lower most liquid tank in each column of elongated frames connecting with a liquid source via a liquid entering pipe respectively, and all adjacent liquid tanks in each column connecting with each other also by way of a respective inlet port connecting with a corresponding outlet port via further connecting pipes; and at least two fluid dryer tanks, the fluid dryer tanks each providing a shape similar to each of the liquid tanks, occupying a lower most one of the spaces in each column of the elongated frames respectively, an agitator device being mounted in the respective fluid dryer tank, the respective fluid dryer tank at an outer side thereof providing an inlet port for dense fluid, an outlet port for a dried substance; whereby, the liquid from the liquid source may enter the liquid tanks and the liquid-vapor tank and a specific water level may remain constant due to a pressure head of the liquid source so that a space above the water level in the liquid-vapor tank is occupied by the vapor; the vapor can move outward from the vapor discharge pipes and is collected for further use; and a dense fluid in the fluid dryer tanks can be dried slowly due to the heat generated from discarded articles being burned in the incinerator and the agitator device enhances the drying job and moves the dried substance to the outlet port on the respective fluid dryer tank.
