AT_incinerator Model 3D

3D model of the AT incinerator. The AT incinerator allows the efficient burning of waste material (ie unusable plastics, litter, ...) The ash is collected in a yellow box at the bottom and the ash could thus usable materials (ie metals) which could be reused (although usable materials should not be thrown into the incinerator in the first place; waste seperation needs to be done first). The fumes going out of the incinerator are also used to drive a alternator which delivers energy to the mains electricity grid. This allows to use the burning process for a more or less useful task and allows the operator to gain some financial revenue trough net metering which helps him to continue destroying litter. Then for the flow of the gases: the fumes are let to flow trough a metal cavity hence keeping the heat close to the incineration chamber. This increases the thermal efficiency. In addition, a concrete layer and a soil layer increases the thermal efficiency even more. Then for the burning itself: 2 fuel tanks (carrying a burnable liquid, ie plant oil, bioalcohol, ...) are guided into 3 pipes which are open at the top. The pipes are relatively narrow, disallowing much ash to fall into it, which would reduce the flame. The oil is guided into the pipes by gravity (no pump is foreseen). There are 4 air valves (marked in green) aswell as a damper in the chimney (also marked in green) which need to be set by hand depending on the oil flow and local conditions. This allows the incinerator to burn the waste with a blue flame (similar to how a bunsen burner/Meker-Fisher burner burns). Blue flame burning allows burning with optimal efficiency.
