Mors 200 Arts Final - Cremation Vocabulary Part 2

Excess air injected along the sides of the primary combustion chamber to assist the combustion process and allow the primary chamber to cool following the cremation process. Generally used during the second half of the cremation.

Sensor which detects or monitors proper ignition bases on the presence of ultraviolet rays from the flames.

A device for the introduction of a flame by delivering fuel and its combustion air at desired velocities and turbulence to establish and maintain proper ignition and combustion of the fuel. Types of these include: afterburner, primary, and secondary.

The amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one pound (1 lb) of water one (1) degree Fahrenheit at or near maximum density.

Dampers, linkages, etc., used to regulate air flow.

The total mechanical unity for the cremation process. A type IV incinerator designed for cremating human and animal remains.

All is supplied to the equipment for combustion, cooling, ventilation, etc. Can be primary or secondary.

The pressure difference created by the action of a fan, blower or ejector, which is located between the incinerator and the stack, or at the stack exit.

Special high temperature lining for the combustion chambers.

Chamber where unburned combustible material from the primary chamber are completely burned.

Any chamber designed to reduce the velocity of the products of combustion to promote the settling of fly ash from the gas stream.

Air introduced into the afterchamber for emission control, usually during the first half of the cremation.

Suspended ash particles, charred paper, dust, soot, or other partially incinerated matter, carried in the products of combustion.

A solid surface upon which the human remains and container are placed for the cremation process.

The pressure difference created by stack or chimney due to its height, and the temperature difference between the flue gasses and the atmosphere.

Provides excess air for combustion, maintains a negative draft through the interior chambers, and cools exhaust gases before they exit the stack.

Small pieces of liquids or solids that include dust, fumes, smoke, mists or sprays, charred paper, soot or other partially incinerated matter.

The process of reducing the size of the cremated remains after cremation.

A horizontal passage for conducting products of combustion into the atmosphere.

To break into tiny bits, or into a fine liquid mist or spray.

A vertical passage for conducting products of combustion to the atmosphere.

Chemical compounds (gaseous or particulate matter in combustion/flue gases) that present human health and environmental concerns.

The pressure difference created by the action of a fan, blower or ejector, which supplies the primary combustion air above the atmospheric pressure.

The case/container in which the human body is delivered to the crematory and in which it is cremated. The container must conform to these guidelines: Be composed of a suitable material; be rigid enough for handling ease; assures protection of the health; provides proper covering for the remains; meets moral codes for respect and dignity.
