Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0067552A1] A solid-fuel fire grate is made-up of hollow steel tubes (13) which extend between side sections (3, 5) of a domestic wrap-around boiler. The tubes (13) are curved and one end (13a) is lower than the opposite end (13b). This provides a water flow through the tubes (13) when the grate is in use, providing water heating and circulation in the boiler. Cold water is supplied through inlets 7, and hot water is provided through outlets 9. A flue has an inlet 6 and an upper outlet 8.
