Patent ·
OSTI ID:5829022
An ash disposal system for a furnace including a pair of submerged scraper conveyors mounted with a common water-filled tank with a water seal between the tank and furnace. The tank is mounted on wheels and has a divider wall between the two conveyors so that the tank can be positioned such that one or the other, or both conveyors together, can be operated to remove ash from the tank. A door or gate in one of the side walls of the tank permits the tank to be completely removed from beneath the furnace when desired.
