OSTI ID:6271974

An incinerator having a generally cylindrical, horizontally disposed shell enclosed at its ends by vertical end plates and defining a combustion chamber. The upper sector of the shell is provided with a feed opening for introducing combustible waste into the housing and the opening extends continuously between the opposite end plates. Enclosing the feed opening is a generally curved door, the lower portion of which is hinged to the shell so that the door can be pivoted between a closed and open position. The gases of combustion are discharged from the combustion chamber through a stack and the upper portion of the shell bordering the stack can be formed with an enclosed heating jacket through which a heating medium can be circulated. Heat from the combustion of waste will act to heat the medium and the heated medium can be used for auxiliary heating purposes.
