Abstract

A material conversion apparatus includes: (a) a housing, (b) a chamber for treating the material disposed within the housing, (c) an induction coil surrounding the chamber and (d) means for exhausting or evacuating the treated content of the chamber.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A material conversion apparatus comprising:
 (a) a housing;   (b) a chamber for treating the material disposed within the housing;   (c) an induction coil surrounding the chamber; and   (d) means for exhausting or evacuating the treated content of the chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the housing comprises an insulating element formed from refractory materials and ceramic fibers, the housing surrounding the chamber. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the induction coil surrounds and envelopes the chamber, the induction coil generating sufficient heat to vaporize or melt waste material disposed within the chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the means for exhausting comprises:
 an exhaust tube in communication with the chamber, a blower in communication with the exhaust tube including a power fan for creating a negative pressure within the chamber to draw residue through the exhaust tube. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  which further comprises an igniter disposed within the exhaust tube for combusting vapors. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4  further includes re-burner box disposed upstream from the igniter; and
 a secondary exhaust tube in fluid communication with the re-burner box. 
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 4  which further comprises a lid which opens and closes the exhaust tube. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 4  which further includes a second induction coil surrounding the exhaust tube, the second induction coil and the blower cooperating to define a thermal oxidizer. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the housing is disposed along a horizontal plane. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the housing is disposed and extends vertically.
