Combustion in clinical incinerators.

Clinical incinerators are important combustion appliances which need to meet emission regulations of increasing severity. In present designs the principles of overfeed and underfeed ignition, well established for coal firing, do not appear to have been appreciated in the incinerator field. It is suggested that important advantages could accrue from using overfeed rather than underfeed ignition and complete rather than partial combustion in the primary chamber.
