Operation
Reaction defines operation (Gas-phase oxidation)
-
For initial operation, preheating of the first stage is important. This is because once the second stage starts heating after the first stage has been preheated, the use of auxiliary fuel can be stopped.
-
After ignition, focus on heating on level 1 with a low flame for about 15 to 20 minutes! Do not add a large amount of waste before level 2 is heated!
Overview
Short introduction or context.
- Key point 1 Focus on Stage 1 heating!
- Key point 2 Check the Stage 2 heating status!
- Key point 3 The chamber takes care of the rest!
System Context
Human-in-the-loop thermal system
Key Observations
- Observation 1 For outdoor use on windy days, the top lid is required. The wind crushes the flame curtain as shown in the image below.
- Observation 2 When stopping the use of the chamber, the air compressor must be kept running until the last remaining embers are extinguished.
- Observation 3 Flame Reading, Condition Tuning, and Stability Judgment are the essence of the Human Layer. They are also the most important parts of Operation.

Notes
This system has one more layer. That is the ‘Human Control Layer’.
Conclusion
If the chamber is fully tuned, the chamber handles the rest automatically after the first stage of heating.
