The detailed design of a [[Combustion|combustion]] chamber is usually linked to the [[Grate]] type. Its precise design demands certain compromises as the process requirements change with the fuel characteristics. In general, three different designs can be distinguished based on the flow direction of the [[Flue Gases|flue gases]] in relation to the [[Waste|waste]] flow: unidirectional current, counter-current and medium current.
