Abstract
A power-saving and long-life particulate incinerating mechanism for use in a reverse-cleaning regenerative exhaust black smoke removing system. Also disclosed is a particulate incinerating method therefor. A hopper has a bottom portion and slant portions made of a heat-insulating material. An air pipe having a large number of small holes extends substantially along the hopper bottom. A heater extends above the air pipe in parallel to it. The small holes of the air pipe are formed such that air can be jetted out from the small holes toward the heater. A relatively small quantity of particulate burning assist air is always supplied from the small holes of the air pipe, and a relatively large quantity of purging air is substantially periodically supplied from the small holes.
