Combustion apparatus |
(57) Provided is a combustion apparatus, including: a fire chamber for combusting wood
pellets; a thermoelectric power generation module disposed outside the fire chamber
for generating power based on a temperature difference caused by heating with an internal
temperature of the fire chamber and by cooling with an external temperature outside
the fire chamber; and an electric drive means (an exhaust fan, a blast fan, a drum-type
pellet supply system, an ignition heater, an air supply fan) which operates using,
as a drive force, thermoelectric power generated by the thermoelectric power generation
module.
