Reverse-acting grate:

Grate system, inclined at an angle of 26°, with rows of grate bars moving up and down against the downward flow of solids.

Reverse-acting grate VARIO:

Grate system, inclined at an angle of 24°, with rows of grate bars moving up and down against the downward flow of solids. It is divided into three independent drive zones along its length.

Horizontal grate:

Horizontal grate system with rows of grate bars moving in opposite directions alternated with stationary rows of grate bars.

SYNCOM:

SYNthetic COMbustion using oxygen-enriched underfire air on a reverse-acting grate.

IR camera:

Infrared camera recording the surface temperature across the width and the length of the bed on the grate for selected bandwidths from the roof of the combustion chamber.

MICC:

MARTIN Infrared Combustion Control for reverse-acting grate systems including fuzzy logic control, IR camera, operating mode concept, and operational data logging/visualization.

ACC:

Advanced Combustion Control...
