The invention is about a submerged combustion method and the device; in details, it is a submerged combustion method and the device utilizing turbine heat engine principle. In the invention, turbine power combustion means is used and substituted conventional submerged combustion system that must equip air blowing means. The high temperature gases generated from the combustion within the turbine power combustion means will do works on turbine, which will drive the air compressor means of the turbine power combustion means to induce air for combustion, and will drive the second-time complete combustion of high temperature gases and the complement fuel, and then the gases will come out from water bottom against tank water pressure and carry out heat interchange with tank water. The turbine submerged combustion boiler device of the invention need not equip air blowing means additionally which would consume energy. So it has high energy efficiency and a simple system structure. And it has features of high heat interchange rate, stable long term heat efficiency, environmental protection, etc.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for directing steam, hot water or hot water vapor and hot air onto a target area, the apparatus comprising a water container and a fuel container connected and supplying water and fuel to an applicator wand with an applicator head which generates steam and heat for application adjacent to the target area of application to the unwanted vegetation. Steam is generated immediately adjacent to the target area within the applicator head and combined with surplus heat from the steam generation process to produce heated steam and water vapor for application to the target area. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the applicator wand is hand held, the applicator head having an inlet, an outlet and a body therebetween, the water and fuel being supplied to a steam generator and burner within the body of the applicator head which generates steam and hot air adjacent to the target area for application through the outlet to the target area.

The invention provides a damping steam boiler. The damping steam boiler comprises an upper boiler barrel, a lower boiler barrel, rising pipes and falling pipes, wherein the rising pipes and the falling pipes are connected between the upper boiler barrel and the lower boiler barrel. The rising pipes are internally provided with flow stabilizers, and the multiple flow stabilizers are arranged in the same rising pipe; and the space between every two adjacent flow stabilizers is constantly reduced in the fluid flowing direction of the rising pipes. According to the damping steam boiler, through gap changing of the flow stabilizers, when steam-liquid two phase flowing exists in the rising pipes, heat transmission is reinforced; and meanwhile, vibration of the rising pipes is weakened, and the noise level is reduced.

A pressurized transport oxy-combustor with different configurations is disclosed. Substantially pure oxygen is fed to the transport oxy-combustor under pressure to combust fossil fuels, generating steam for power generation. The end product is the flue gas containing substantially pure CO₂ after moisture condensation. The low excess oxygen necessary to achieve complete combustion in the combustor is scavenged by adding another fuel so that substantially all oxygen fed to the combustor is completely consumed. The capability to operate the transport oxy-combustor as a circulating fluidized bed combustor at very high solids circulation rates makes it unnecessary to use recycled CO₂ or flue gas as a means to moderate and control the combustion temperature. The temperature in the combustor is effectively controlled by relatively cooler circulating solids that enter the combustion zone. A small amount of CO₂ is recycled for aeration and to convey solids fuel to the combustor.

A low emission and environmentally friendly apparatus and method is used to generate a high pressure stream of thermal vapor. The thermal vapor stream may be injected into a subterranean formation for recovery of highly viscous petroleum or used to turn a steam turbine for driving an electrical generator. In one implementation, the high pressure stream of thermal vapor is generated by burning a high temperature fuel, including any short or long chain hydrocarbon products from methane to coal, in an enclosed vessel to produce combustion gases. Various techniques may be used to improve heat distribution and lower the temperature of the combustion gases. Water may be used to quench the combustion gases and produce the superheated steam or vapor. The water may be introduced onto the combustion gases by spraying, weeping, dripping, and the like.

A water heater is shown having a closed metal tank with an upwardly mounted combustion chamber and burner/blower assembly. Curved fire tubes convey the products of combustion from the chamber to an exterior mounted flue assembly. The closed tank is enclosed by a rotomolded jacket. A support stand with vertically arranged support legs supports the tank in a normally vertical position but also allows the tank to be pivoted to a horizontal position on the support stand for maintenance or repair operations.

The invention relates to a steam generator which comprises an upper boiler barrel, a lower boiler barrel, rising pipes and falling pipes, and the rising pipes and the falling pipes are connected between the upper boiler barrel and the lower boiler barrel. Current stabilizers are arranged in the rising pipes, multiple current stabilizers are arranged in one rising pipe, and the lengths of the current stabilizers are gradually increased in the fluid flowing directions of the rising pipes. The steam generator with the current stabilizers of new structures is provided, the lengths of the current stabilizers are changed, when steam-liquid two-phase flow exists in the rising pipe, heat transfer is strengthened, vibration of the rising pipes is weakened, and the noise level is reduced.

A startup burner assembly for use in snow melting applications, and which permits initiation of snow melting without first supplying water as a coolant. The startup burner assembly comprises a fuel burner having adjustable combustion output and a nozzle to facilitate the emergence of products of combustion, and a combustion chamber having a first portion in substantially air-tight communication with the fuel burner and enclosing the nozzle and a second portion shaped and dimensioned for disposition into a snow melting receptacle or pit. The combustion chamber has a plurality of discharge holes formed at least on the second portion thereof to permit the egress of products of combustion from the fuel burner into the tank or pit, and thereby permit agitation and melting of snow loaded therein, The startup burner assembly also includes an air cooling assembly for supplying air to cool at least the first portion of the combustion chamber.

The invention provides a steam boiler which comprises an upper boiler barrel, a lower boiler barrel, ascending pipes and descending pipes; the ascending pipes and the descending pipes are connected between the upper boiler barrel and the lower boiler barrel; flow stabilization devices are arranged in the ascending pipes; each flow stabilization device comprises a core body and a shell; the core bodies are arranged in the shells; the shells are connected with and fixed to the inner walls of the ascending pipes; each core body comprises a plurality of radial rods extending from the center of thecore body to the radial directions; a plurality of fins extending from the radial rod down are arranged on each radial rod; the fins are provided with sharp parts; and the sharp parts face downwards.With the adoption of the novel structure steam boiler with the flow stabilization devices, when gas-liquid two-phase flowing exists in the ascending pipes, heat transfer is improved, vibration of theascending pipes is weakened, and the level of noise is lowered.
