Since the Summer of this year as part of the Energy and Environmental Simulation Laboratory group at Citytech I have been working with Professor Nakamura in constructing a sectional view of a Waste to Energy combustion chamber focusing on the reverse-acting grates which sorts solid waste when it’s being heated. It’s been a long process but I would say it’s 85-90% complete. Thanks to Lynne and Luca for their contribution in improving the design. It still is not finished as the photos and video shown is not the latest version. It moves a lot more smoother now thanks to Luca’s addition of drawer rollers and a new moving arm to drive the grates. A vast improvement compared to what we started off with.
To follow further updates on the combustion chamber and the EESL in general:
