'''Anti Clinker Heaters''' are commonly used in cars and were “made with a sheet-iron outside casing which leaves an air-space between the stove and casing, into which a current of air is admitted, and is warmed by coming in contact with the stove, and then escapes into the car.” | |||
Anti Clinker Heaters are used to prevent clinker, an incombustible fragment that can be found in ash residue after burning heating fuels such as coal or wood. In relation to burning wood for heat in a wood stove or fireplace, a clinker looks like a chunk of ash, and is composed of wood residue and ash. The concern is that clinkers can contain live or active spark. | |||
The “anti-clinker" feature of the stove consisted of a “peculiarly-arranged” grate with a ring-shaped opening between it and the base of the stove, through which the clinkers could be removed from the grate. | |||
