Combustion à chargement par le bas (underfeed): On trouve de bas en haut: l’arrivée d’air, la grille, le charbon froid et le charbon incandescent. Toutes les matières volatiles brûlent en passant sur le charbon incandescent. Deux modes principaux de chargement par le bas: 1. foyer à poussoir (...) 2. foyer à vis (...). 7, record 8, French, - grille%20%C3%A0%20alimentation%20inf%C3%A9rieure

Chaudières à combustion "underfeed". Dans ce type de chaudières, le charbon progresse de bas en haut dans le même sens que l'air primaire introduit sous la grille. L'air primaire traverse alors successivement le charbon froid. Le charbon qui distille et le charbon incandescent. Les matières volatiles dégagées par le charbon qui distille sont alors brûlées au contact du charbon incandescent. Ce type de foyer permet donc de brûler des combustibles à haute teneur en matières volatiles, tels que les charbons gras, les flambants secs, voire les flambants gras. 8, record 8, French, - grille%20%C3%A0%20alimentation%20inf%C3%A9rieure
Record number: 8, Textual support number: 3 OBS
En anglais, on parle surtout du dispositif d’alimentation en combustible du foyer (stoker); en français, on parle plutôt de l’endroit où a lieu la combustion (foyer) et où est logé l’organe de combustion qui est la grille. Il est à noter que selon le LAROG, le foyer "est à la fois un lieu et un ensemble d’appareils ou d’organes (...)". MOMON semble donc utiliser foyer et grille au sens de dispositif. Ainsi, grille semble parfois désigner la partie (grate) du dispositif d’alimentation du foyer ou le tout (stoker). 4, record 8, French, - grille%20%C3%A0%20alimentation%20inf%C3%A9rieure
