Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4212772A1] A combustion system using at least 90 wt% propylene glycol based liquid fuel includes a first fuel tank (10), a wick (11) inserted in the first tank, a sensing unit (12) configured to receive an activating signal and sense the liquid level of the propylene glycol based liquid fuel in the first fuel tank and send a fuel replenishment signal accordingly, a second fuel tank (20), a conduit system (30) connected with the first and the second fuel tanks (10, 20), and a drive unit (40) connected with the conduit system (30) and configured to receive the fuel replenishment signal so as to cause the propylene glycol based liquid fuel in the second fuel tank to replenish the first fuel tank through the conduit system as well as to cool the wick.
